To Remove Barriers
To Exchange Of News
BY the Assoeiossd Press

The American Society Of News
paper Editors prodded the United
Nations today to remove barriers
against free international exchange
Of news.
The society's Board of Directors
asserted that very little real prog
ress has resulted" thus far from its
members attempts to promote world
freedom Of information through the
U. N.
But despite the U. Ms apparent
Indifference" the board said in a
resolution. the society will continue
its efforts until free dissemination
of news throughout the world is
fully achieved"
Ignorant Of Days Facts.
Summing up the effects of gov
ernment censorship and news re-
strictions in many countries, it said:
"A large segment Of the worlds
people still lives in ignorance of the
facts Of the day, and the freedom
OF news organizations in their coun-
tries is largely nonexistent."
The board planned to act, before
concluding its winter meeting today,
on a proposal that a committee be
established to review at intervals the
State Departments distribution
abroad of news and opinion material.
This recommendation was made by
a special study group headed by N.
r. Howard. editor of the Cleveland
News and.vice president of the So
ciety. ..
Libraries Approved.
There has been controversy over
whether the State Departments
activity in this field would not be
regarded in some countries as un-
welcome propaganda, although the
department has declared a policy of
unbiased news presentation.
The Howard Committee, composed
of eight prominent editors. approved
the departments distribution of off,
cial texts and maintenance of Amer
ican libraries in foreign cities.
On the point of news distribution,
it said the present international
situation justified a Government
effort "to make its activities and its
policies clear to the people of the
world" but that the committee rec
ognized "the dangers inherent in
Government dissemination of news"

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.
The State Department said today
that nothing in a statement issued
yesterday by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in Tokyo is contrary to
American and Allied policy for

A department press officer added
at news conference, that Gen
Macarthur is not required to cleal
with the State Department any
statement he wishes TO make.
These comments were made ir

Macarthur with launching "on hi.

Appointed director of the 95-year-

power strike in seven months. Men,
bers of the Independent Association
of Duquesne Light Co. Employees
and associated companies voted,
1,008 to $50, last night to call a
strike "as soon as possible" to en-
force a wage increase and other
demands.

was scheduled to meet this morning
to set deadline for the work stop

schedules and Other factors.
A 30-day strike notice filed by the
union under the Smith -Connally
Act expired at midnight Saturday
Mayor David l. Lawrence, who
had been in almost continuous ses-
sion with the company and union
since Friday, appealed to the public
to use every influence it can on
both company and union"
Il do not accept the strike vote
as meaning that a strike is in
evitable," the Mayor said. Il am
calling the parties to meet with me
again at 2 pm. today. There
are no issues here SO insurmountable
that they cannot be adjusted by
honest negotiation or by arbitra-

Union demands include a 20 per
cent wage increase and a master
contract for the nine associated
companies.
Before the union voted by secret
ballot to strike, it rejected by an
overwhelming voice vote an elev-
enth hour company proposal en-
bodying 20 points to which the
company would agree.
Last February IL a 19-hour power
strike resulted in a partial black

shaved off, breaks camp today to
settle down to serious training for
his title bout with Billy Conn in
New York's Yankee Stadium June 49,
Louis. with his encourage, will
move into his new camp at Pompton
Lakes, N. j.. no later than Saturday.
The spot is ready for. him. A new
outdoor ring has been constructed
for his immediate use. He intends
to go into hard training at once.
The title holder came here March
7 merely to relax so he could get into
the proper mental attitude for the
drudgery Of hard gymnasium work
and boxing after a 4-year layoff.
Louis last battle was in New York
March 81, 1912, when he blotted
out Abe Simon. Then followed his
military service.
Louis devoted most of his time
here playing daily rounds of golf
and taking long early morning hikes
over the wooded hills to strengthen
his legs and endurance. He melted
of only six pounds to 2l6. but fig
ures to get down to 205 for Conn.
The champion, now 80. admitted
that he probably was slowed up
afoot trifle, but not enough to lose
his heavyweight title to the Pitts
burger. He called attention that
Conn relies principally on speed
and that his long ring layoff is
bound to slow up his fleetness.
