Vishinsky Defends
Accuracy Of Press
After Bevin S Attack

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE accuracy
of reports on the Indnesian situa-
ton circulated by the free press Of
Britain and America was defended
before the United Nations Security
Council yesterday by Andrei I
Vishinsky of Russia, whose news
papers are government controlled.
The fact that there is a free
press in Great Britain entities us tt
place some credence on what the
press brings us by way of informa
ton" the Russian vice commissal
for foreign affairs asserted.
Curious Kind of Logic.
Answering criticism by British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, whe
Saturday told the Council that HI
did not take too seriously" the new.
reports on which the Soviet Ukraine
had based much of its argument fol
Council action in Indonesia, Mr.
Vishinsky commented:
II think that to argue that, be.
cause a fact is reported in the press
it means it must therefore be un.
true is a peculiar and curious kline
of logic, and I must protest against
this abuse directed against thu
press"
Mr.. Bevin had said that news.
paper had but three things to do
One is to amuse, another is t.
entertain and the rest is to mislead.
When his audience began to laugh
he added: L didn't do it to raist
a laugh; it is too serious matter
but was not impressed with thu
newspaper cuttings"
Asks About Other Sources.
In his reply, Mr.. Vishinsky de.
clared:
IF it was said that the function
of the newspaper is to amuse, t.
entertain and to mislead-if thi
were allowed, I submit that tn
press would lose its significance as /;
school of truth and information, ant
l suggest that so hong as it respect
the dignity of human beings and al
peoples, it will fulfill this role of ,
school of truth for democracy"
He pointed out that in argument
against British policy in Indonesia
Ukranian Foreign Minister Dmitr
I. Manuilsky had quoted from Brit
ish and American newspapers ant
from the press of other countrie
and added:
What other sources can be use,
to obtain the facts as to what
happening in different parts of tn
world where no other sourc
of information exists except tn
