Veto Puerto Rican
Press Curb Bill

SAN JUAN-Gov. Luis Marin
announced last Saturday that he
would veto a bill creating the
Press Institute of Puerto Rico
to regulate the practice Of pro-
fessional Journalism.
The BILL passed by both houses

ponents maintained that it would
curb freedom of the press, while
its proponents insisted that it
would merely ct up voluntary
code of ethics and create a sense
of responsibility.
Gov. Marin said that he in
tended to veto the bill ever since
he heard about it. An asserted
that, "the press can improve the
state, but the state cannot i'm
prove the press"

U. S. Superiority in Carriers.
Our outstanding superiority
over the Russian fleet lies in our

of the offensive power of the Fleet.
1t is the most mobile tactical air
force in existence"

Terminal Broadcasts
Can Drive You Nuts, '
New York Board Told
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The
commercial broadcasts dinned
daily into the ears of 100000 trav-
elers at Grand Central Terminal
are enough to drive you nuts"
witness told the Public Service
Commission today.
Asked by a commission official
If the broadcasts could affect a
mans mind, later witness-Dr.
Harold j. Harris, New York psy-
chiatrist-said they could be the
straw that would break the came's
back"
The testimony was part Of a
commission hearing into COM
muter protests against the broad
casts.
James L. Ely, former chairman
of the Federal Communications
Commission, said the commuters
were victims of 1.-The forced feed
ing of advertising" and a captive
audience"
But, the New York Central Rail-
road struck back through its coun-
sci at critics. Kenneth F. Stone,
assistant general counsel, said
many complaints were "attribu-
table to the campaign of an adult
comic book" edited by commuter.
Mr.. Stone said the railroad had
need of the 500, 900 annual revenue
it gets from the broadcasts.
Harold Ross, editor of the New
Yorker magazine which has been
conducting a campaign against
the broadcasts, told the hearing:
IF they get away with this, no.
body will be able to read on any
means of conveyance in the United
States"
Mr.. Ross. a Stamford, Conn,
commuter, said even if 80 per cent
of the patrons liked the broadcasts,
this country was founded on re-
spect for the rights of minorities. :"
The railroad contends that a
poll OF terminal patrons showed
IS per cent liked the programs.
The PSC says it has received more
than 400 protests.
