Editors See Danger
To Freedom Of Press
In New Security Law
By the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Oct. IA COM
mittee of the Inter- American
Press Conference reported yester-
day that full enforcement of the
United States new internal secur-
ity law could threaten freedom of
the press.
The committee, studying press
freedom, submitted it's report at
panel discussion during the con-
ference of United States, Canadian
and Latin American journalists.
Debate on the report is to be
held tomorrow.
The committees report said
there is complete freedom of the
press in the United States, but
added:
I'VE believe it pertinent to re-
mark that the President of the Re-
public affirms that the resolution
Gnternal security law recently
approved by Congress gives to the
Government of the United States
the faculty to control thought.
Sees Threat to Press.
IF this faculty were exercised,
liberty of the press would be at
least threatened. if not directly
affected"
The report referred to the dis
crepancy between two powers
which will be resolved by the
judicial authority" 1t apparently
meant the disagreement between
President Truman and Congress.
The President vetoed the security
law but was overridden by the leg
iSlative body.
The report listed restriction of
press freedom in the following
countries: Argentina. Colombia,
Guatemala. Peru. the Dominican
Republic and Peru.
Nicaragua has press freedom at
present. the report said. but a law
authorizes the country's President
to impose censor snip Of any
periodical.
Only Red Papers Banned.
Except for Communist publica-
tions, Brazil, Chile and Cuba were
listed as allowing full press free
dom.
On Paraguay, the report said
that conditions had improved
the past year.
Full press freedom was credited
to Bolivia, Canada. Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Ell Salvador, Mexico. the
United States, Puerto Rico, Uru-
quay, Jamaica, Trinidad and Ber-
muda.
No report was made on other
islands of the West Indies.
Signing the report were COM
mittee members Tom Wallace, ed
itor emeritus of the Louisville
Times: Carlos Mantille, director
of El Comercio of Quito; Gull
lermo Martinez Marquee. director
of Ell Pals, Havana; Julio GarZon,
editor of La Prensa, New York.

District Court Ruling
Allows Clio 10 ExpeI
Office Workers Union

The CIO today had District
Courts go-ahead sign to press ex-
pulsion action against the United
Office and Professional Workers
of America.
Judge Burnita S. Matthews
cleared the way by dismissing
UOPWA's suit to enjoin the par
ent union from continuing it's in
vestigation to decide whether the
affiliate should be kicked out be-
cause of alleged Communist lean
ings.
UOPWA and nine other affili-
ates are under investigation by
the C1O. which last year armed
itself with constitutional amend
ments to purge Communists from
| its ranks.
Ruling by Court.
Judge Matthews ruled yester-
day that UOPWA has not ex-
hausted its remedies within the
CIO, which has a set procedure
for hearing protests by its affili-
ates facing expulsion. The judge
declared:
''It is we'll settled that courts
will not ordinarily interfere with
the internal management and ad-
miniStration of trade unions. A
plaintiff, to bring himself within
the exceptions to the rule, must
show that he has first exhausted
his remedies in the tribunals of
his organization as provided by its
constitution"
The judge then found that
UOPWA has neither been ex-
PEELED nor suspended and that
the WO executive board has not
yet acted on the charges against
the affiliate. She further noted
that, even should UOPWA be ex-
PEELED by the board, appeal still
might be taken to the CIO con-
vention.
UOPWA Contention.
UOPWA had contended the eX-
pulsion procedures were unlawful,
declaring that CIO had no right
to expel an affiliate for adhering
to the Communist program in
stead of CIO principles.
CIO action against UOPWA
came shortly after the 1949 con-
vention. At that time, the union
amended its constitution to keep
members of any totalitarian party
out of union Office and to expel
aftiliates whose policies are CON
sistently directed" to the support
of any totalitarian movement.
A special investigation commit
tee, appointed by CIO President
Philip Murray, is to report to the
executive board on February IA
on its UOPWA findings.

Mt. Zion Zion Successful
In Baby Contest

The annual Baby Contest of the
Mount Zion Baptist Church was
held last Friday evening. Some six.
teen little Americans gave parental
consent to be used toward the work

The three winning babies are to
receive prizes of fifty, twenty-five,

The only stipulation on the part Of
the church, is that the prizes go
into a savings account for the win
ners, as an incentive toward thrift.
The contest was conducted by Mrs.
Edward T. Graham and Miss Marie

pastors wife head this drive was
brought over from Rev. and Mrs.
J. r. Evans, whose work can never
be forgotten at the church or in
