expressed by the commentator are
not necessarily those of the net
work.
OF course, CHS has a good re-
cord and one of which it is Justly
proud. The networks reputation
was made in large part by its
courage in carrying just such
broadcasts as Smiths.
The irony in the Smith case is
that it comes at a moment when
all the networks are engaged in
battle with Newton Minow, the
new chairman of the Federal Com
munications Commission. When
Minow described television as a
vast wasteland and suggested i'm
provement, the broadcasters raised
the cry of Censorship" They ex-
pressed fear of government rules
and regulations.
Certainly there is a case to be
made for caution in government
regulation of the broadcasting in
dustry. But there is also a great
danger of pressure from shrill and
excited citizens who may not al
ways like what they hear. How
does a network respond? Not by
substituting more tired westerns
or less courageous commentators.

stand by him, whether you agree

Officials Of CHS have made

They have given US many fine

there would be articles in all the
news magazines. There would be
receptions In his honor and we
would all admire his desire to
speak his mind.
Unfortunately for Howard K.
Smith he is none Of these. Instead
he is simply a competent, clear
headed, qualified, soft-spoken CHS
news analyst who brings to his
audience more than 20 years back
ground in writing, interpreting and
reporting world affairs. He is
probably most recently remem-
bered for his exceptional TV in
terview with Walter Lippmann.
Smith has long fought for free
dom Of expression for others and
he practices what he breaches. His
present difficulty with CHS stems
from a view that a commentator
may not express personal judg-
ment nor make personal assess
ment of the conditions he des-
cribes.
Although the rule has not al
ways been enforced, the networks
executives applied it to Smith.
This is not the first time that
there has been a hardening of at
titudes between an employer and
his employee. Only in this case
we are all the losers, including
CHS.
There is a basic issue at stake
here, one which the heads of the
network may not have fully con-
sidered. The Smith case is one of
censorship, possibly resulting from
outside pressures.
There were complaints after his
vivid portrayal Of what he con-
sidered brutal mistreatment Of the
Freedom Riders in Birmingham.
Smith himself is a Southerner, so
his comments may have stung
more.
1t should be recalled that many
top officials in that city have been
extremely sensitive to criticism
They even sued The New York
Times for carrying stories by Har-
rison Salisbury which they re-
garded as ibelous.
Smiths account of what he saw
in Birmingham destroyed the pol
iticians' contention that It has al
ways been a peaceful and peace
loving town.
