Before Pierre Courtade, writer
for the French communist paper
LUumanite, was admitted to this
country to report the sessions of
the U. N. general assembly he
had to agree to certain restric
tion!!, that he would;
"1. Enter and leave by an At
lantic Dort.
-! -2. Remain in New York City
and the Long Island meeting
Places of the United Nations.
"3. Depart when the assembly
session is completed.
"4. Engage in no subversive or
Trozazanda activities nor agitate
gainst the United States during
bis stay." ' !
It is reported that the state and
iustice departments are consider
ing extending the restrictions to
all foreign correspondents aa
mitted to this country. If they do
they put the United States in the
same class with Russia as far as
limiting the travel of reporters
is concerned. :
'Wouldn't a contrary, policy be
wiser, one which would encourage
foreign reports to travel all over
the United States and see what
they can see about our country.
They will find some things not
very pretty; but they will also see
truly marvelous country in ac
tion. We are proud to show it off,
from the steel mills of Pittsburgh
and Youngstown to the wheat
, fields of Kansas, the copper mines
of Utah,' the forest, of Oregon.
Foreigners would find people
busy, working In field and factory
They will find Stores filled with
merchandise which' is generally
within range of purchase by every
family. What they see wouldn't
change the Ideology of the com
munists, but at least -they would
have a better understanding of
how our American system works
and why most of our people pre-;
fer It to any ether. .
For properly accredited news
paper' correspondents we ought
sot to prescribe blinders and muz-
'" ales and hobbles. Our Internal
stability is strong enough to en
dure their visitation. .

By the Associated Press ' r
The' nation's railroads received a demand Tuesday from
five operating rail unions for a 30 per cent wage .increase and
trans-Atlantic operations of the American oVergegj girlinasj
were halted by a strike of AFL pilots.
Asserting the railroads "do not realize the restlessness and
the discontent of the workers," the. rail unions demanded a tJ
daily minimum wage boost and
changes in 44 working rules.
The unions statement said ne
gotiations with the carriers would
begin in Chicago October 7.
The -carriers' conference com
mittee, representing the railroads,
declared a 30 per cent hike in
the operating employes', -pay
would add $400,000,000 to annual
costs of running the trains, and
the proposed rule changes $1,000,
000,000 more.
David L. Behncke. president of
the AFL Air Line Pilots associa

not involve' a pay disput but re
