FREEDOM OF PRESS
 BEING THREATENED
So Declares Newspaperman in Opposing House
 Bill 65OS.

Pittsburgh, pa,, Dec, l6.-Thomas R. Williams, president of the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers associa- ton, today called upon all members of the organization as well aS pub fishers generally to use their efforts to defeat house bill No. 65oS, on the ground that mo such mischicyous in reference with press freedom has ever before been seriously proposed in this country"
 "rhc bill," said Mr. Williams in q statement, "prohibits publication in newspapers of any news likely to lead to gambling. Ostcnsibly aimed at racing news, it would be equally applicable to a largo quantity or var icty Of financial and other news, such as reports of bank Ciearings, which have been gamblCd on in many cities. The unprecedented censorship inVoIN- ed by the bill itself is more than sls- fCient warrant for it's defeat. It's em- bargo on so much news required for the proper information of business in- terests is 0 strong additional redsod.
 No such mischicvous interference with press freedom has ever before been seriously proposed in this coun- try. Immediate steps to prevent its going any further are urgently rec commended. It's vicious character should be impressed upon the sen ate judiciary committee that it's de- feat will be assured.
 Tt is pointed out that it would outlaw even the publication of base ball scoros'"
 Mr. Williams closed his statement by calling on publishers to make a determined demonstration" before the judiciary committee in Washing ton January 10 next.

for this monster celebration. The
details OF the big parade and other

nounced, but il is known that the

colleges and business men are
spending much time and money on
individual features. Secret meet.

graduates are going to stage some
novel stunts. Keen rivalry exists
between the various departments
and each is seeking to Guido the
other.
There is no particular reason for
this celebration except that the
present student body wants to show
everyone that the true Mo%untaineer
spirit which has been on the decline
during the past several years has
been resurrected. The pre-game
celebration will be something that
