deleted for teleyision broadcast
ing purposes from the Commute
exchange between MIR. Eiser-
hover and the press at the first
televised conference, January l9.
The 20 questions given out
by the White House yesterday
for the TV screens included two
about censorship. The President
didn't care for them a bit.
The first questioner was rather
brusquely referred to the Presi-
dents "technician." Press Sec
retary James C. Hagerty. who
decides the ins and outs Of the
televised broadcast Of the press
conference. The second ques-
toner was told that no heads Of
any broadcasting company have
yet protested.
Freedom "Widened."
Technician Hagerty later in
the afternoon pointed out that
all news.gathering media had
complete access to the entire
transcript, and were entirely free
to quote unreleased bits indi-
rectly. The advent Of the tele-
vision cameras had actually
widened the freedom Of the press
to this extent. Anything that
the President says on tele-
vision can now be decently in
closed in quotation marks in the
paper.
The editing may also give q
slight impetus to the minor in
dustry of keeping track of what

The man who asks for Scotch is asking for
any of the three thousand whiskies that now
come from Scotland.
Fine Scotch-true Scotch-cannot be bought
that way. For fine Scotch comes only from the
hills and burns around Speyside. Here the pure,
clear waters abound that are necessary for the
distillation Of the finest Scotch whisky
Among these hills have always been the dis
tiIleries owned exclusively by Grant They are
still a family concern, keeping sternly to their
original standards. Their Scotch is always fully
matured. They have handed down their know
ledge of d~istilling from generation to generation,
This knowledge is rare ~ rare as really fine
Scotch. Remember that fact. Note that to ask
simply for Scotch is not enough Always ask
for Grants BY name.
