House Bill Offered
To Repeal Truman S
Security News Order

Legislation 10 wipe OUT PreSl-
dent Truman'S controversial Sc
curity order was on tap at both
ends of Capitol Hill today after
Representative Bakewell. Repub-
lican, of Missouri. introduced a
companion bill to that laid before
the Senate last week by Republi-
can Senators Bricker, Ohio; Cape
hart, Indiana, and Ferguson,
Michigan.
AS the Bakewell measure was
presented, Senator Bricker, in a
Senate speech, urged quick con-
gressional action. saying that Con-
gress has authority to cancel the
new restrictions on Government
information. which he described
as IAN insult to the Congress, to-
the worlds best press and to a
free people"
Senator Bricker said that the
order parallels news censorship
exercised in Russia, Argentina,
India and Hitler Germany, andI

Benton Proposes Plan.
Senator Benton, Democrat. of
Connecticut took the Senate floor
this afternoon to urge appoint
ment of peoples advocates" in
the various Government depart
ments whose jobs would be ito
fight as hard to release informa-
ton as some officials have been
known to fight to suppress it,"
The Connecticut Senator, who
fought unsuccessfully for depart
mental reform along similar lines
in the State Department when he
was Assistant Secretary, said his
proposal was prompted by Presi-
dent Truman's recent security
order. The Presidents order, he
said, meets only one side of the
problem.
"The other side of the problem, >"
Senator Benton said. sis the prob
lem Of getting to the American
people the information they need
to make intelligent decisions. The
presumption should always be on
the side of full and prompt public
disclosure. Unhappily this is all
too seldom the presumption in
practice"
Hits Restricted" Category.
The Senator recommended total
elimination of the present ere
stricted" category applied to many
Government documents. He de-
scribed the classification as an
"absurdity" and said it was often
"carelessly handled" and invited
sloppy decisions in marginal
cases."
Earlier. Representative Talle,
Republican, of Iowa, told the
House it is significant thatl
"the lid of secrecy is being clamped
down even as congressional COM
mittees are sitting charges of cor
ruption in the Truman adminis-
tration."
One of the strongest protests
against the order has come from |
managing editors of papers using
the Associated Press.
The order is designed to keep
secret information having a bear
ing on the security of the Nation.
President Truman has denied |
that it is tinged with censorship. |
