Freedom OF Information

that would shackle his mind and SOUL 1t was
to this end that those who held our jobs be-

Why then should not freedom of Informal

poor and weak thing. 1t covers the right of

Mankind has assumed from the beginning,
without benefit of legislation, that it is a

the air it breathes Why should it be any less
of an evil to cut off or poison the information
that brings us the distant world we live in?
And why should our remedy for this evil
be limited to governments that withhold
news? Why should we not have free access
to information about anything anywhere?
If anyone = government or anyone else
stands in the way of our getting clean
and fair report, is that not evil? Does sup
preston not mean that to some extent the
picture of the world in our heads - the only
world we know - is false? And is that not
a betrayal of a fundamental right of the in

If the solid resistance of cities of the Deep

the success with which border cities, pre-

The S Is Noted -
Wise Decisions Have Been Made

Out of Montgomery has come a pattern
of nonviolent resistance, American style,
that may yet be Of great significance in this
transition from a partically segregated to a
non-segregated nation. But it is not yet ap-
parent that it has been successfully exported
to other localities. Nothing in reports from
Birmingham and Tallahassee indicates that
the Negro challenges have been other than
orderly. They do suggest that their lead
ership has been a bit uncertain and confused.
Meanwhile in the legal struggle, the sig
nificant news comes from Tallahassee. There

Excerpts from speech before the New
England Associated Press News Executives
Association. Vergennes. Vermont)
Despite the changes in the economic foun-
dalton and tradition of journalism free
dom of the press still means to us basically
what it meant to Milton: the right to print
without prior censorship by government.
But is that enough, in today's complex
and highly organized world? We know it
isn't We need not only the right to print.
We need also access to the facts, SO that we
may print them And this right of access to
the facts is what we mean today when we
speak of freedom of information. And, de-
spite the varying concepts of it in our bu-
siness, surely all of us will agree that free
dom of information means ahleast the right
of the public to know what is being done in
it's name and with its affairs by government
Some of us would carry it further than
that And here is my plea to you, and indeed
to newspaper men everywhere. Why confine
our right to know government? What those
who came before us wanted and deeply be-
lieved in when they fought and won the his
toric battles of freedom of the press, was the
right to print anything. Primarily of course
they wanted to be able to print criticism of
the government. But did not freedom of the
press mean also the right to print anything
about religion, about ideas whether orthodox
or unorthodox, about all the buzzing length
and breadth of our society?
Of course it did Mans deepest longing

Negro leaders in Birmingham, Alabama,
and Tallahassee, Florida, have called off
further organized testing of bus segregation.
Thus far enough Negroes in both cities have
been arrested under state laws and municipal
ordinances to provide ample grounds to
carry the matter into federal courts. They
wisely realized that until these courts take
judicial notice that the Supreme Courts re-
cent decision applies to these two cities as
we'll as to Montgomery, Alabama, mass chal-
lenges to sectional taboos as we'll as to local
laws would gain nothing at the cost of
trouble.
The Montgomery bus boycott early took
on a temperate, disciplined character due in
large measure to the leadership of the Rev.
Martin Luther King. Negroes began riding
desegregated' after Montgomery was Official
ly notified of the Supreme Courts decision
on its case.

Over the state, about 1900 Gus

grades of telephone service dur
ing 1856. And new type of tele-
phone service-mobile telephones
for trucks and automobiles-was
inaugurated at Natchez and Jack

For Mississippians in rural areas

Hometown Development Program
Is Endorsed By National Club

Mississippi's $4,000, three-year
Hometown Development Program
has been endorsed by the state
and national Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs.
Mrs. Mildred White Wells,
Washington, director of the COM
munity achievement contest OF
the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, wrote H. C. Roberts
OF Canton, chairman of the Mis-
slssippi Economic Councils COM
munity development committee
that the program by the national
Federation and the state project
should be mutually helpful.
i am delighted to know that
Mississippi is laying special en-
phasls on community develop
ment, and l hope that this en-
phasis will be an added incentive
to Mississippi clubs to enter our
Achievement Contest" she said.
Mrs. Luther N. Davis of Hat
tlesburg, president of the Missis-
slppi Federation, authorized let
ter to local clubs approving the
program during the past week.
I'VE appreciate the encourage
ment of these strong organiza-
tions," Mr.. Roberts said. sThe
Hometown Development Program
IS aimed at getting the participa-
ton of local leaders from every
segment of community.
Normally, local chamber OF
commerce will enter the program
for a community, since only one
entry can come from a commu-
nifty, and the local chamber rep
resents all groups. However, any
number of organizations can join
together, through a steering COM
mittee, and submit an entry for
the community if they so desire
Local communities can work this
matter out for themselves. Most
communities do not have a cham
Der of commerce. There are 264
incorporated places in the state
and only 80 chambers of COM
merce."

In addition, the American Le-

This project has been under

Il am certain that these brave
people want to become self-reliant
useful citizens in their adopted
land as quickly as possible. They
want to earn their own way and
become part of the communities
throughout America in which they
will settle. To do so they must
know our language.
