SHIP Is KILLED
ESPIONAGE BILL STILL STRONG
Whjlo tho President Ii Given bGueh
Power the Principal of Dfee
speech II Maintained

Warrington, May 12.-By = tight
majority OF one vote. the senate to-
day struck from the Gregory espion-
age bill the censorship provision
that would authorize power to con-
troll the press in amy and all crit
icism OF the governments conduct Of
the wan and the administration in
ternational policies. The vote was
80 to 3S. Fifteen democrats lined
up with "a republicans to defeat the
objectional provision, which has
caused storm OF criticism from all
over the country and on the floor OF
both house and senate.
Senator Martin. democratic floor
leader, was one of the democrats who
voted. against provision which At
torney General Gregory promulgated.
Disposition OF the censorship fea-
ture leaves the president with no
specific control over the press. Other
sections Of the espionage bill cover
reasonable utterances and 1t was the
contention Of those opposed to the
censorship that those sections wiz
give the government ample powers to
protect itself.
II is possible that later an effort
will be made by the administration
to secure adoption Of much-modi-
fed censorship provision. but the
temper Of the senate is such as to
absolutely prohibit any drastic regu-
lation Of the press or interfere with
the rights Of free speech.
Even as 1t stands, 1t gives the
, president powers such as are hardly
exceeded by any ruler in the world.

tions governing the movements Of
