Curb on Reporters
Al Food Conference
Formally Adopted
Executive Committee
Agrees to Regulations
Explained by Jones

y Staff Correspondent of The star
HOT SPRINGS, Va. May 19.-
The Executive Committee of the
United Nations Food Conference
has formally agreed to the ban
placed on newspaper correspondents
which keeps them out OF the Home
stead Hotel, set aside for the dele
gates. The ban already was in ef-
feet by order of United States ON
cials.
Judge Marvin Jones, president of
the conference, made this an
nouncement at his press conference
today.
Judge Jones said he had made a
statement to the Executive Com
mittee. composed of the heads of
the A participating delegations, of
the controversy with the press.
He said he explained the regula-
tions which had been established.
Under these newspapermen are
barred from the hotel and from
visiting delegates within the hotel
They may telephone and request
delegates to visit them at the
Casino, press headquarters.
He also told the Executive Com
mittee there was no restriction on
any matter which the delegates
might wish to discuss with the
press; that he himself would hold
daily press conferences and the
heads Of delegations and commit
tees were entirely free to hold such
conferences If they wished.
The contention of the newspaper
men has been and continues to be
that the ban against entrance to the
hotel, enforced by military guard,
interferes seriously with their COL
lection Of news.
Reporters have not asked to at
tend sessions of the conference COM
mittees which are executive. They
have merely requested the right to
visit individual delegates and to do
their own news work, rather than
have 1t handed out to them by ON
cials of the conference.
Judge Jones was asked point
blank whether the reporters had
made any request to attend commit
tee meetings, executive or otherwise.
NO" he replied. "and you may
quote me to that effect"
Many of the delegates at the food
conference resent the ban placed on
the press, despite the action Of the
Executive Committee.
Judge Jones said that after he
had read to the Executive Commit
tee the rules laid down for dealing
with the press, he had asked il there
was any objection.
There was no objection" he said,
"and held that the regula ations
had been approved. No vote was
taken"
Protest against the. decision to
continue the ban was voiced by the
correspondents. But there the
matter stands, and as before it is
we'll understood here that "a higher
authority" believed to be President
Roosevelt is responsible for the ban.

Example Of Curb on
Freedom of Speech
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOT SPRINGS, Va, May 19.-
Some newspapermen, here to write
about the International Food Con-
ference, say there's another angle
to the argument over what many of
them contend is a United States
Government restriction on freedom
of the press in limiting their
activities.
They raise the question whether
freedom of speech by the delegates
themselves might not be hampered
to some degre.
For instanc:
Suppose delegate of, say, small
country represented at the confer
ence fought unsuccessfully against
decision reached by the larger coun-
tries in committee meeting. How
would he make public the position
of his nation or what it thought of
the decision?
Would the delegate. even if he
knew how to approach the newsmen,
wish to be in the position of COM
planning at this conference which is
suppoN6 to be friendly and CO.
operative? Or would he, if ap-
preached directly by reporter ask
ing for his opinion, feel more free
to state his case, since he was beinr
asked his views and not volunteer
ing them?
Barred From Hotel.
NeWsmen can't go into the hotel
where the conference is being held
armed individuals are under orders
to keep them QUITO talk with in
dividual delegates staying there.
And all are staying there.
Reporters can call any delegate by
telephone and ask him to step down
to the pressroom, on the rim of
the hotel grounds. for an interview.
A delegate can, if he has time or
desire, comply.
But newsmen argue that this ar
rangement has strong disadvantages
that it prevents spontaneous con-
versations with delegates and makes
less likely any chance of question:
ing them.
So far as Is known, none of the
delegates has been informed where
the pressroom is.
To Hold Press Conferences.
Judge Marvin Jones, chairman of
the United States delegation and
chairman of the conference, has
told reporters he would do all pos
sible to keep them abreast of action
and progress by the conference"-in
this way:
At stated times he would-and
chairman of the various committees
could, too, if they wished-hold press
conferences.
But neWsmen argue that this
means they would receive only such
information or Interpretation as the
Chalrmen wished to give
