CLARK SAYS
FREE PRESS
THREATENED
BY RONALD C. VAN TINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. = Sen
Bennett Champ Clark (Dem) Mis-
souri,, charged today at the senate
munitions inquiry that "absolute
federal control' of the press was
possible under legislation pre-
pared by the war department for
submission to congress in the event
this country became involved in an
other war.
He said any President might inn
pose a press censorship by declar-
ing printers ink and white paper
to be essential wartime commodi-
ties, and requiring them to be Ii
censed.
"Isn't that a fact?" he asked
Col. C. T. Harris, war department
planning officer
"If the press is considered a
material resource of the nation,
that would be true" Harris said.
The army officer said newspa-
pers might be deprived of their
materials under licensing provision
of the proposed legislation.
"This would be writing a blank
check for the President - Clark
said.
cit is my opinion, said Harris,
"that in time of war you should
write a blank check for the Pres
ident.''
Regarding the license feature,
Clark said:
"Give me two hours and 1 can
figure out 40 different ways to i'm
pose a censorship under that pre-
vision.'
Pierre S. Du Pont, chairman of
the board of the Delaware Power
company. rose to say:
"Mr. Senator, freedom of the
press is guaranteed by the consti-
tuition.
Clark said he would introduce
the war department legislation at
the opening of congress to provide
an opportunity for study and re-
moval of undesirable features.
He added that some one certainly
will offer an amendment to insure
guarantee of the freedom of the
press.

since the situation was under con-.

A number of alleged Communist

minority road report presented by
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce group, President w. H. Tyler,
Jr., of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce who made the presenta-
ton before the supervisors and the
county planning committee last
evening, stated today. "Our group
was opposed to the general east
and west plan for the simple reason
that most of the roads therein in
cluded were in the north end of
Imperial Valley. While realizing
the need of that area for roads as
we'll as other parts of Imperial
Valley, we did not feel that the
distribution was fair when most of
the roads were placed in this rel
atively small area.
"Little consideration was given
by the proponents of this plan for
roads for farmers in other sections.
For instance, the Calexico district
was allocated under this plan, but
few miles, and the Ell Centre road
district No. would under this al
lotment have improved just two
short roads aggregating only about
nine miles. Certainly, this is too
small share in a $50 mile road
program, and for that reason, we
opposed the suggested east and
west plan under which most of the
roads we're at the north end of the
valley, and desired a plan embrac-
ing needed north and south roads as
we'll as east and west roads widely
distributed throughout the cultivat-
ed part of Imperial Valley, so as to
serve all communities and all farm
erS.
1.-THE farm to market phrase, as
applied to roads, said Tyler, "haS
been a little oyerdone. A north
and south road leading from a we'll
settled farm community, south to
one of our towns or north to one
of our railroad shipping stations, is
just as much of farm to market
road as an east and west road
which happens to pass before the
farmyard doors of any group of
farmers. We contend that any
road leading from a settled farm
community towards Imperial VAL
ley cities or to a connection with
cne of the state highways in I'm
perial Valley, permitting the farm
er to come to town or truck his
produce to and over one of the i'm
proved state highways, is unques-
tionably farm to market road.
"In making this plea, the mat
ter was not personal with myself
or Ell Centro, because under the
plan proposed by the minority
group, none of the county roads
would come very close to El Cen
tro, so when I use the words
towns and Cities have no ref
erence to the county seat town in
which I live, but my statement ap-
piled to all the cities and the towns

consideration also given the pro-
posed eaSt-weSt road.
After much discussion the plan

of the first report with due con-
sideration also given the other
outline and referred the whole
matter back to the supervisors
again for further consideration
and approval by that body.
Petition BY River District
1t was also proposed that street
improvements for the different cit
les of the county be worked up as
a separate project and that the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
will outline such program. Later
this would be combined with the
general county road improvement
project for approval by the state
SERA authorities.
Yesterday afternoon the board
of supervisors were presented with
a petition signed by 500 residents
of the river district asking that the
board use its best efforts towards
securing from the state highway
department their immediate con-
sideration and approval of a high
way connecting this county with
U. S. highway No. go at Blythe, via
Winterhaven, Bard, Potholes and
Palo Verde.
The board gave its approval to
this project and ordered that copies
of the approving resolution be sent
to the state highway commission,
the commissioner of highways for
this district, to Senator Hulse and
Assemblyman Walker.
w. J. Sterrett, county SERA di-
rector stated this morning that he
has instructed all engineers con-
nected with his organization now
in the county to make an extensive
survey on road hazards and when
these reports are all completed
they will be drawn up in the form
of a project to eliminate such
hazards in the rural areas of the
county. This will then be submit
ted to the state headquarters for
approval and it is hoped that this
necessary work might be under
taken.
