THE PRESS

THE TnLOo
 It was Publishers Week in New York City.
 At the annual session of the American Newspaper Publishers As- scciation, freedom of the press, free- dom from censorship was empha- sized in two committee reports, adopted by the publishers. The report of the committee on freedom of the press vigorously crit icized the Senate Lobby Commit tee, of which Hugo said campaign of persecution and harrassment against individuals, organizations and newspapers which have in any manner criticized or opposed mem- bers of Congress or measures be- fore Congress"
 The report included the Federal Communications Commission in it's criticism, holding the Commission aided and abetted" the Black com mittee in the seizure of telegrams.
 The publishers, however, toned down their report somewhat to elim- mate a direct slap at the Roosevelt Administration. As it iriginally read, the resolution used the ex- pression the policies of the present National Administration but this was changed to members of Con- gress or measures before Congress. ,
 The Committee on Radio urged publishers to fight just as vigorous ly to keep the radio free from cen- sorship.
 At the annual luncheon meeting of the Associated Press, the pub fishers were told by Sir Willmot Lew is, Washington correspondent of the London Times:
 Both in England and the United States, the danger which confronts what we call freedom from the press is not chiefly from without, for that we can meet, but from within.
 Tt is, as I see it, danger which grows with the growth and increas- ing integration of the newspaper system-the danger that the free dom which makes us great and use- full may make some among us too great, that individuals may acquire Ia power which eff the freedom we demand is to be ours) they cannot
