Beocle Jt Society and Clubs Freedom of Press Is Topic for Voters7 League Speaker . "Freedom of the press is for the benefit of the people, not of tht press," Eric Allen Jr., city editor of the Medford Mail Tribune, said Saturday in a talk at the general meeting of the Medford League of Women Voters. The public must have access to information in order to gov ern themselves, he said, and the press is part of a "marketplace of ideas" where people may find the truth. Me. Allen traced the develop ment of freedom of press in the United States, citing the growth frcSh early British censorship to the present - day uncensored press. He declared that "the radical and dangerous idea of yesterday is the orthodox of today," and the people lose their freedom to the extent that the press is un- free. Responsibility under law, he said, keeps the press under nec essary controls, but that prior censorship fs not desirable. High and rising costs of oper ating newspapers and the cen- tralized (chain) ownership are the most ob&'ious economic dan gers to free and unbiased news, according to the editor, but he said electronic aids in the future will once again allow greater numbers of individual publish ers. He also cited recent allega tions that the national govern ment is again resorting to un necessary restraints against free press and declared that he had enough faith in the 'intelligence of the American people, that hey are able to determine and accept the truth when given it by free and unfettered report ing system. . Mrs. Robert Hiatt, president, presided at the meeting, and in troduced Congressman Harris Elfcworth, a special guest, who spoke briefly to the group.
