MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. Oct.
10.--An Inter-American Press AS
sociation report today expressed
alarm over the increasing ten
dency" among certain Western
Hemisphere governments to re-
strict or destroy press freedom.
The report, presented to the
associations conference here by
its committee on freedom of the
press, noted severe and tragic
reverses" in the past year, par
ticularly in Argentina.
It also said that in the United
States there is IAN increasing
practice on the part of national,
state and local officials to con-
duct the business of their Offices
in secret" and extend military
security into areas of news
which have no bearing on the
nations security"
It mentioned, in this respect,
President Truman's September "a
executive order instructing de-
partment heads to use their own
discretion in withholding infor-
nation on security grounds.
Expulsion Proposed.
The report recommended that
the association directors "expel
from the association any member
who openly advocates or supports
the restriction or destruction OF
freedom of the press"
The report also noted the defeat
of legislation in Georgia to make
newspapers subject to regulation

Cite La Prensa Seizure.
The report severely criticized
the regime of President Peron of
Argentina as providing the most
tfiagrant examples" of press restric-
tions. 1t cited in particular the
case of the independent news
paper La Prensa. seized by the
Peron government.
Peronista publishers and editors
have walked out Of this confer
Ience, angry because most of the
membership applications from
Argentina have been rejected here.
The Peronista men who walked
out Of the conference are re-
ported planning to set up a pro-
Peron bloc of Latin American

Railroads and Labor
Disagree al Hearing on
Union Shop Contracts
BY james Y. Newton

Representatives of railroad
arrangements and unions dis
agreed sharply at hearing today
over extension of so-called union
shop contracts to rail workers.
Donald r. Richberg, counsel for
more than rs Southeastern car
riers, challenged the legal right
of the railroads and unions to
enter into union shop agreements.
He told three-man emergency
board appointed by President Tru-
man to hear the demand of II
incorporating unions for the union
shop:
THE board has a legal duty to
recommend that the labor organi-
cations withdraw their requests
for such agreements either with
individual railroads or on a ma
tional basis"
Asks Modern" Relations.
Lester c. Schoene, counsel for
the unions representing | million
workers, called upon the railroads
to "modernize" their labor rela-
tions which, he said, are out of
date as some Of their equipment.
Mr.. Schoene argued that the
union shop will lead to more
democratic and more stable labor
relations on the railroads.
1T stands to reason that every
employe has duty to participate
in the decisions of the union and
to support the union" he said,
pointing out that the unions now
speak for all incorporating en-
ployes."
Under a union shop contract.
an employer may hire either a
union Rr non-union worker but
the NJ employee must Join the
union within a prescribed period
or the employer must discharge
him.
Labor Act Amended.
The union shop was illegal on
the railroads until Congress early
this year amended the Railway
Labor Act to permit such agree.
mentS.
Since the law was changed last
January, the rail unions have been
negotiating for the union shop.
Some OF the carriers. notably the
New York Central and Baltimore
& Ohio, have agreed.
The present dispute developed
when the II incorporating unions
insisted the carriers should negoti-
ate on Nation wide basis rather
than by individual lines.
Mr.. Truman appointed a board
to hear the dispute after a strike
threat developed. On the board
are David L. Cole, Paterson IN. J1
labor lawyer; Aaron Horvitz Of
New York, and George E. Osborne,
Stanford University professor.
