had a source in the jury room.
Morris served four days in jail
rather than name his source.
The Sun campaigned so heavily
for protective law that within
two months the Maryland legis-
lature extended the right of priv

Judicial groups raised SO much
Juror, however, that it was 81
years before another state, New
Jersey, passed similar law.
In addition to Maryland and
New Jersey, these states have
shield laws: Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Montana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Efforts have been made sew
eral times to have a federal shield
law enacted. Bills ''to protect
confidential sources or informa-

House and Senate judiciary COM
mittees when the 86th Congress
adjourned in mid-September.
It was a federal judge who
sentenced Miss Tore, the Herald
Tribune's radio-television column
mist, to 10 days in Jail last Janu-
airy for refusing to disclose the
name of the anonymous TV ex-
ecutive she quoted in a column
about actress Judy Garland.
Miss Torres attorneys argued
that forced divulgence would in

ty, that many sources for such
news are reluctant to talk to
proper authorities through fear
of retaliation, and that libel laws
provide adequate guarantees
against publication of reckless
statements or innuendoes.
Motivated by the Tore case,
the World Congress of the Inter-
national Federation of Journal
lists unanimously passed resolu-
ton in May supporting the prin-
ciple that newsmen have the right
to protect their confidential
sources of information. The AM
-erican Newspaper Guild followed
suit in June. =
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Assn, has taken no stand
on the shield laws. Cranston Will
Hams, general manager Of the
ANPA, says he recently heard
one newspaper executive say that
no good reporter would write a
story based on a confidential
source without checking facts
with other sources. And if he did
that, the executive said, there
would be no need to protect a
confidential source.
Williams says another execu-
tive expressed the opinion that
shield laws would be used by
columnists more than others and
would eventually have a bad eff
feet on the newspaper business.
Unlike the legal and medical
professions, the newspaper BUSH
ness has no standards of practice.
To the ANPA's way of thinking,
says Williams, this constitutes
the free press that is necessary
to the nations welfare.

Union says shield laws are neith-
err necessary nor desirable.

The list is small. 1t begins with

It's list of reporters who have
this in common: they have gone
to jail rather than name the
source of information given them
in confidence.
Their defense of what they con-
sidered a moral principle has
spanked IL states to place con-
versations between a reporter
and a news source in the same
privileged place as conversations
between priest and penitent, doc

However, the number of states
giving legal approval to a report
