Passport Denial
Renewed With SD

The State Departments pass
port regulations were attacked a.
new this week as an interference
with the fundamental right to.
travel and the freedom of the
press" and a denial of due pro-
cess
The charge was made by news
paper reporter William Worthy.
jr., in a petition filed with the
State Departments Board of
Passport Appeals urging reversal
of the Departments rejection of
his passport renewal application.
The petition was filed by Will
liam M. Kunstler, cooperating at
torney of the American Civil
Liberties Union. The ACLU is
backing Worthy's case as a ma
jor challenge of the State De-
partment's power to restrict the
travel of American citizens a
broad.
The appeal to the Board Of
Passport Appeals is the final adj
ministrative step legally required
before the issue can be brought
to federal courts.

Monday that peace and harmony
