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."
