Newspaper Page Text2 Capital Journal, Salem, Or.. Stassen for Press Freedom ! Eugene, Ore., Teb. 21 W Harold E. Stassen believes the Taft-Hartley labor law is a "seri ous Invasion of freedom" be cause . It restrict! labor union 'political activity. In an address to the conven ,tion of Oregon newspaper edi tors and publishers', the former Minnesota governor and repub lican presidential candidate praised the law as a whole. He Isaid it would improve labor re lations, benefit the workers through fewer strikes and less 'loss of wages, and provide more democracy in unions. ' But he called for immediate removal of the clause which re stricts political activity by unions. "Through the clause prohibit ing direct or indirect political contributions by unions," Stas sen said, "a serious invasion of freedom has occurred. "Newspapers published by unions should have inviolate the complete freedom of press to print anything they wish on any subject, including politics, lim ited only by the regular laws of libel. To hold otherwise would constitute an opening ,wedge in an attack on a free press." May Elected Head Of Press Conference Eugene, Ore., Feb. 21 (U.PJ Walter W. R.
