were taken to city hall and
then to the Southside Jail.

Six Basic Questions
Mr.. Celler said there are six
basic questions the subcommit-
tee hopes TO find answers to
before the hearings end. They
are:
Is newspaper concentration
GOOD, bad, or OF no conse-
quence9 Is 1t inevitable under
existing conditions? What are
those conditions and can they
be changed2 DO some practices
result in unreasonable re-
straints Of trade? II so, should
such practices be exempte d

newspaper concentration limit
the choice Of rates, formal and
readers, for advertisers9
MIR. Celler's investigators have
reported that as of September,
1861, So newspapers without
newspaper competition also
control the only radio station
In town. They also report that
the number of television sta
tons with newspaper or maya
zine affiliations has grown
from Al in 1850 to 161 in 1862.

Roll PorIeys
Break Down
Third Time

CHICAGO, Mar. 10 (AP).--
Negotiations between the rail
roads and the operating union
on their dispute over work rule
broke down today less thar
Ia hours after they began.
The railroads had announced
they would move as soon rs
possible to make changes IN
the work rules, and the five
unions served notice that such
action would touch off q Ma
tionwide strike.
James e. Wolfe, chief spokes-
man for the carriers, said the
collapse of negotiations should
lead to the appointment Of a
fact-finding board by Presi-
dent Kennedy. If such a board
is named-and that seemed the
logical next step-it would de-
lay a walkout for at least go
days.
Mr.. Wolfe said the conference
broke down on the fireman
issue-that Is, the railroads
demand that 10000 firenen
be eliminated gradually from
diesel locomotives In road and
yard service.
Oother issues also were in
volved in the dispute that has
gone unresolved for more than
three years.
This was the third time the
negotiations had collapsed.

Censorship Decried
Representative Rodino. Dem

ing Of the hearing that a rea-
son for the subcommittee's
concern over the newspaper

there is no substitute for daily
newspapers"
The broadcast word is fleet
ing while the printed word
abides," Mr.. Rodino said.
Mr.. Celler, Mr.. Rodino and

sized that there was no inten-
ton to go into the content of

ION the other hand, it is
known that two voices are
better than one In presenting
q cross-section Of news, edi-
torial comment and current

Examples Cited
Mr.. Celler said his concern
was caused by "the steady
erosion In the number Of met
ropolitan daily newspapers, and
the even more striking drop in
newspaper competition" He
gave as examples:
/. Only 50 cities have sep
arately owned and published

ings are scheduled TO run for
more than q month, and will
comprise the most intensive

of the news media.

New York, opened the hearings
by declaring a deep concern for
preserving newspaper competi-
ton and a free press. He said

do you think such concen-
tration Of news media Is signi-

Mr.. Minow replied. 1T could be

Generally, he said. q practice
that arises where q newspaper
and television station are jointly
owned Is the discounting Of adj

Mr.. Minow told the subcom-

has contributed to the decline
Of many newspapers.
