But he said the government still
sticks to its promise of freedom

National Revolutionary Party,
which won power in last weeks

followers, which include many tin
mine laborers, identify it as the
voice of the tin interests.

Cespedes. protested to Mr.. Rob-
ertS against the armed threat
which stopped yesterdays paper
and demanded protection for his
plant.
Mr.. Roberts said the govern
ment could not fight against the
people in arms" and that 10000
rifles taken from government
arsenals during the revolution
still are in the hands Of the
militia.
Popular memories Of the dead
and wounded ARE too fresh" to
be opposed for a few days, he
said.
Disruption of electricity during
the revolution forced La Razon
to cease publication. Two days
later, MNR men padlocked it but
the closure was lifted Thursday
by the propaganda ministry.
Armed Men Appear.
It started publication of Fri
day mornings edition but Mr..
CeSpedes sent his staff home Just
before three truckloads Of armed
men drove up to the premises.
They did not attack.

PressFreedom Upheld
In Opinion Freeing
Louisiana Newsmen
BY the Associated Press

LAKE CHARLES, La, April 10.
"A judge who says he likes to
mix a little horse sense with the
law" made a broad defense of
freedom of the press yesterday in
an opinion freeing five newsmen
of defamation charges.
New Orleans Judge ]. Bernard
Cooke. who tried the highly pub
liciZed defamation cases in the
absence of the regular district
judge last December, restated
several of the principles in his
181-page decision.
He began with the observation
that ANY citizen or newspaper
has the right to criticize the pub
lie acts of officials. Without that
right, we would have a dictatorial
form of government and the dis
cussion of important public issues
would be only such as might be
permitted by those holding au-
thority"
FOR Public Good.
Judge Cooke said it rebounds
to the public good" to have issues
laid before it by newspaper COM
ment on subjects of public in
terest.
1.-THE general law relating to
SANDER and libel, as we'll as the
Louisiana defamation statute,
clearly protect that right.
I'm some cases, the mere exer-
else of the right of criticism of
public officials might naturally
displease such public officials =.
nevertheless, the right to critisize
may be exercised and a discussion
of the contrary beliefs may we'll
rebound to the benefit of the gen.
eral public. The public express
sion of differences in opinions is
something to be expected and en-
couraged in a democracy"
He cited the Louisiana Supreme
Court case in which the justices
said that every person has the
right to comment on matters of
public interest and general con-
Germ. provided he does so fairly
and with an honest purpose :.
Such comments are not libelous,
however severe in their terms, I'M
less they are written intemper-
.ately and maliciously."
Malice Must Be Proved.
Judge Cooke added his own
comment that "the defamation
statute grants a qualified priv
lege to comments made in the
reasonable belief of the truth
thereof, regardless of whether
they are true or false"
He held that malice sis a nee
essary element in the crime of
defamation"
If the statements printed are
false, malice may be implied I'M
less a juStifiable motive for max
ing it is shown, Judge Cooke said.
In all other instances actual
malice must be proved, he added,
citing authority.

ence left early yesterday.
High officers, members of the

lated that other aspirants would

dent general, presided at the BAN

theme of the gathering. Flags

ing ice figures of an eagle, OAR
insignia, flowers, the Washington
Monument. the Capital, cherry

figure brought wild applause from
the delegates.
Brown Hits Foreign Policy.
Representative Brown. Republic
can, of Ohio, cast a more serious
note into the festivities as main
speaker at the affair.
He charged that this country's
foreign policies have helped the
Russians to extend their domi-
nation to more than 600 million
people since the end of World
War II without firing a shot"
AT home" he continued, "the
Government has been infiltrated
at all levels by hundreds of off,
Gals who are not actually Ameri-
cans, but Socialists or worse"
"All of us hesitate to question
the basic patriotism of our fellow
countrymen. but the naked I'M
adorned truth is that this country
is plagued by a coterie of malcon-
tents, crackpots, false prophets,
bewildered do-gooders, foggy-
minded thinkers and cunning.
scheming, radical planners who
know exactly what they are do
ing.
IF by some magic, your noble
group could suddenly be trans
formed into the Congress of the
United States, I am sure you
could do more in a single week to
straighten out the present mess
here in Washington than has
been done in the past 312 years."
