U.S.. Urged 10 Support
Writing Of U. n. Treaty
On Press Freedom
BY the Assoeiossd Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Dec.
22.-Charles A. Sprague, Oregon
publisher and a United States
delegate to the U. NJ, predicted
today an international treaty on
freedom of information is going
to be written despite United
States opposition now.
He said that since this will be
so. the United States ought to try
to help write as useful and safe
a treaty as possible instead of
holding to a negative position.
even if it does not sign it.
His views were contained in a
statement issued by the United
States delegation yesterday and
addressed as a letter to represent
atives of information media in the
United States.
Wide Cleavage.
Mr.. Sprague, publisher of the
Salem (Oreg) Statesman. pointed
out there Is a wide cleavage be-
tween Western powers and the
smaller countries, whom he called
the have nots" in the field of in
formation.
He said the smaller countries
mistrust great international in
formation agencies because of al
legedly poor and sometimes unfair
reporting they fear will damage
their countries and because their
own information services lack
money and freedom.
Much of this may be only
wounded pride" Mr.. Sprague
said. Some may be due to pro-
fessional or business envy, some
to politics. but I think we of the
United States press and radio
should realize what the foreign
attitudes are.
This Is probably old stuff to
managers of international infor-
nation agencies, but think they
should realize that they operate in
a highly sensitive world and take
that into account in determining
their own policies
Seeks to Raise Standards.
He called on United States in
formation interests and schools of
journalism to raise their stand
ards for writers and handlers of
world news.
But despite official United
States GOODNESS to a treaty which
the smaller countries think would
protect them, Mr.. Sprague voiced
his prediction that such a treaty
will be written.
He said. my personal view, and
emphasize that it is a personal
view. is that the United States
should be prepared at the next
session to assist in a redraft of
the convention, if a similar SEN
timent prevails as in this assem-
bly,. trying to make it as useful
and safe as possible, even If We
do not intend to sign it,"

Committee Conclusion.
The committee itself reached
this conclusion regarding the
former presidents attitude:
"It becomes obvious Mr.. Roose-
velt's dealings with the Soviet
throughout the war were based
on a strong desire for mutual CO.
operation with Russia in the war
effort. This desire was based on
belief in Soviet Russia's sin
cerity. 1t is equally obvious that
this desire completely overshad-
owed the dictates of justice and
equity to our loyal but weaker
ally, Poland"
Representative Flood told re-
porters it is up to Pentagon Off
cials to decide whether any action
should be taken in the case of
Gen. BiSSell.
/ The story of the missing intelli-
gence report on Katyn started in
May. 1945, when Col. Van Vliet, an
American infantry officer. re-
turned from Europe and reported
to Gen. Bissell, then in charge of
intelligence, what he had learned
about the Katyn massacre while a
prisoner Of the Germans.
g.; Only One Copy of Report.
Only one copy of Col. Van
Vliet's report was made. It was
labeled top secret by Gen. Bissell.
Gen. Bissell insisted in his testi-
mony that he forwarded the docu-
ment to the State Department in
May, 1945. State Department Off
cials disavowed any knowledge OF
ever having received it.
/ "It is this committees con-
clusion that Gen. Bissell is mis-
taken in his claim that he might
have forwarded the Van Vliet re-
port to the State Department,
the report continues. "The COM
mittee believes the Van Vliet re-
port was either removed or pur-
posely destroyed in Army Intel
ligence CD"
The committee says Gen. Bissell
admitted that had the report been
published in 1945. when agree
mentS reached at Yalta to create
the U. N. were being carried out
at San Francisco, Russia might
never have Joined the organiza-
ton.

Ieral admitted the report was ex-
plosive and came at a time when
