Senator Monroney, Democrat
of Oklahoma, says President
Kennedy and leaders of the
newspaper profession have
found it difficult If not I'M.
Epossible" to apply a workable
formula for voluntary press
censorship.
He told a meeting of Sigma
Delta Chi, national Journalism
fraternity, last night that he
is certain mo one in this ad-
ministration has in mind this
type of censorship-but baby
tigers have a habit of growing
from kittens into man-eaters.
Senator Monroney said that
once news is in the public do
main sit is like trying to sweep
back the sea to manage it OF
control it by voluntary cen
sorship."
likewise think that II
would be grossly unfair" he
said. Senator Monroney said
that a re-reading of President
Kennedy's April 81 speech to
the Bureau of Advertising Of
the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association shows the
President is opposed to any
type Of censorship.
"His only plea was for self
restraint and a sense of sacri-
flee in the publication of news
that might be helpful to our
enemies" Senator Monroney
said.

Both leaders emphasized that
they were not advocating stop

Union in the interest of last

that they doubt that anything
can be gained by another
meeting such as the one at

This stand was taken by the
court after a discussion in exc
cutive session, lasting about As
minutes, Judge Pine said. He
added that it was the general
feeling of the judges that, since
probation reports submitted to
trial judges to aid them in
sentencing are secret, it would
be unfair to permit the United
States Attorney to transmit any
statements to the probation Of

Judges Disopprove
Advice on Sentences

The judges Of the District
Court said yesterday they fee
it would be inappropriate" fol-
the United States Attorney to
make recommendations as to
sentences of convicted crimi-
mails.
United States Attorney David
c. AcheSon on May 81 sent
Chief Judge David A. Pine a
copy Of a memorandum in
which he proposed to recon-
mend sentences to be handed
down by trial judges in some
cases. He referred to cases
where it appears a severe OF
maximum sentence is called for
because a criminals has in
flicted physical injury. OF
carried out a crime of violence,
Mr.. Acheson announced this
as a policy change on May "a.
Previously the United States
Attorneys Office has taken no
action in any case in regard to
sentencing after conviction.
On May 26, District Court
Judge George L. Hart expressed
in open court his disapproval of
this policy change. He suggested
that the question be discussed
by all judges of the court.
The action of the judges
yesterday, disapproving any
recommendation on sentences
from the United States Attor-
ney, was passed on to Mr..
Acheson in the letter from
Judge Pine.
The letter added that the
judges of the court would be

Independent Since 1853
After operating under many
names and in several associa-
tions with the State Depart
me1t, President Eisenhower
made USIA an independent
agency in August, 1853. Gov
ernment propaganda activities
had been under heavy fire
from the late Senator Joseph
r. Mccarthy and the then
Secretary Of State. John Fos-
ter Dulles, was ready to dis
associate the State Depart
ment from them.
Mr.. Eisenhower's executive
order gave the chief Of the
United States propaganda ac-
tivities direct access to the
President and to meetings Of
the cabinet and National Sc
curity Council. At the same
time, USIA set up It's own
administrative organization
and planned its own annual
budgets. ="

USIA are subject to transfer

Much Of the money has gone

In 1857. It was charged that
he had some union subordinates
beaten UP in San Francisco be-
cause they opposed his re-elec-
ton.
His testimony on this point
led to a perjury indictment. The
court directed acquittal on the
ground that whether Mr.. Cross
lied or not on that particular
matter could not be perjury
because the line Of questioning
