EDITORS REQUEST
FREE PRESS TOKEN
Society Urges Government to
Guarantee Rights in Pro-
posed Code.
~ the Associated Press.

gy the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 13-The di-
rectors of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors yesterday at their
regular FAN meeting adopted resolu-
ton urging that the newspaper code
contain a statement on behalf of the
Government that acceptance Of the
code is not to be construed as "waiving.
abrogating or modifying" the rights OF
free speech and a free press.
The resolution follows.
Whereas, the national recovery act
and its enforcement present possibilities
of direct or indirect restrictions OF the
freedom of the press, and
Whereas. it is beyond all question
that the freedom of the press was
guaranteed in the first amendment to
the Constitution not to confer a spe-
cial and peculiar privilege upon the
press, but in order to protect the fun
damental rights and essential liberties
Of free people; and
Whereas. there is an effort to create
an opinion that special immunities and
privileges are being sought for news
paper publishing as a business under
the guiSe Of defending the liberty OF
the press, making specific statement
of the position of the society desirable.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that
the board of directors of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors considers
1t a matter of the utmost importance
to the American people as well as to
the press that the newspaper code now
being formulated under the provisions
OF the national recovery act shall con-
tain specific statement on behalf Of
the Government as one of the contract
ing parties that the acceptance of a
newspaper code is not intended to, and
shall not be construed as waving, abro-
eating or modifying the rights of free
speech and the freedom of the press as
these are guaranteed under the Consti-
tutions OF the United States and the
several States"

Astronomers Ready
To Scan Heavens In
Search for Meteors
By the Associated Press.

PHIL DELPHIA, November
13.-Three all-night watches for
meteors will be held this week
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day-by astronomers from Massa-
chusetts to Oregon.
They will look for the long
lost rain Of Leonid nleteors. Last
year was the favored date for
this outburst of shooting stars,
but not many of them appeared,
so astronomers calculate that
there is still a chance for them
this year. Even though no great
rain of fire appears, they are
confident that some good meteors
can be seen In the Northeast,
after midnight, especially on
Wednesday.
Astronomers think this week is
the last good chance for Leonids
in any quantity until about 1856.
