2Newsmen Restricted
Temporarily for Early
Walker Death Story
By the Assoeioted Press

UNITED STATES 9th ARMY
HEDQUARTERS, Korea, Sunday,
Dec. 24.-Two American cores
pondents were confined to quar-
ters last night temporarily, during
an investigation of the premature
disclosure of 1t. Gen. Walton H.
Walkers death.
The restrictions We're lifted this
morning on the two, Peter Webb
of the United Press and Kenneth
Kantor of the National Broad
casting Co.
They had been restricted to the
press billet and denied use of
communications facilities at 9Th
Army Headquarters on the orders
of 1t. Col. Robert L. Thompson,
public information officer of the
9th Army which Gen. Walker
commanded.
At 8 am, Col. Thompson,
through Maj. Jack Westbrook, told
the two newsmen they were free
to operate as correspondents "at
least until the investigation Of the
Walker story is completed"
Not Accused Personally.
Neither correspondent had been
accused personally, but Col.
Thompson said there had been a
premature release of the story.
Mr.. Webb was with group of
British correspondents travelling
behind Gen. Walker when his
jeep collided with a South Ko-
rean army truck. The general was
killed. Newsmen were asked to
hold the story for security rea-
sons.
Mr.. Webb said that on return
ing to the billet in Seoul he called
the United Press Office in Tokyo
and gave it the story. He said he
also gave special instructions that
the story should be held until re-
leased by headquarters.
Mr.. Kantor said he also called
his Tokyo Office and instructed
NBC it could get details of the
story from the United Press in
Tokyo.
At the time he ordered the two
correspondents restricted, Col.
Thompson also ruled tht all news
stories sent from 9th Army head
quarters would have to be censored
either by him or by Maj. West
brook.
Ruling Not Withdrawn.
The censorship ruling was not
withdrawn this morning when re-
strictions on the correspondents
were lifted.
Un Tokyo, correspondents |
who had the story of Gen. |
Walkers death were asked by |
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
to hold the release until Gen.
Walkers widow was informed. |
Gater they were told the
story would be released at 3:05 |
pm. or los a m. EST Saturday. |
Gen. Walker was killed shortly |
before II am. Korean time.
Before the release time,
nearly every news service had
received messages from home
Offices saying that opposition
services already had issued the
story.
(At 2:45 pm, 12:45 m. EST
Saturday, Gen. MacArthur's
public information officer said
the story could be released at
once.
1n New York, both U. p. and
NBC denied violation of security
or censorship.
(The National Broadcasting
Co. said "NBC did not report
the death of Gen. Walker until
that information had been re-
leased by all press services.
Col. Thompson, who is press
information officer for the 9th
Army, said release of the news of
the generals death before it was
officially announced was "a gross
security violation"
