Claim Li tile Info
Held From Public
Washington (U.R) Attorneys
for five government agencies con
tend that little government in
formation is withheld from Con
gress and the public.
They told a House "freedom
of information" Investigating
subcommittee Friday that some
records and proceedings must by
law be kept confidential. They
also pointed out that it would
not be in the public interest to
divulge some other information.
Earl M. Kintner, counsel for
the Federal Trade commission,
testified that he has never "run
across a case where significant
information which should have
been released was not released
to the press or the public."
Franklin M. Stone, general
counsel of the Civil Aeronautics
board, said most of the board's
functions are conducted in a
"goldfish bowl" with most infor
mation freely available to the
public and Congress.
He said the CAB has exercised
its legal discretion to withhold
information that would not be in
the public interest. He cited as
examples wartime orders and
documents filed by airlines that
would benefit no one but would
injure the airline.
General counsel Thomas G.
Meeker of the Securities & Ex
change commission said 90 per
cent of the agency's files are
open to the public and Congress.
But he pointed out that Congress
specifically had provided that
certain information such as trade
secrets should be kept confiden
tial. The subcommittee also heard
testimony from lawyers for the
Federal Power commission and
Interstate Commerce commission.

out of his house next door and
suddenly burst into flames. The
boys grabbed a quilt and wrap
ped it around the burning man,
snuffing out the flames.
Patrolman Robert L. Thomps
son said Watts, who lived alone,
had emptied kerosene from a
jug into a pot and apparently had
spilled the fluid on himself.
Clad only in a pajama top. Watts
then wheeled himself down the
steps into the backyard and ap
parently touched a piece of
lighted paper to his kerosene
soaked garment, the officer reported.

Tacoma Seeks Permit To Continue Building
Olympia (U.R) The City of
Tacoma Friday asked the State
Supreme Court for permission
to continue construction of the
Cowlitz River hydroelectric proj
ect. A lower court decision ordered
the city to halt construction after
July 1 on the grounds that the
project would interfere with nav
igation in violation of a 1909
state law. The city has appealed.
E. K. Murray, attorney for Ta
coma City Light, asked the Su
preme Court to extend the dead
line until a new decision is
handed down so that construction
may continue. He argued that a
stoppage, in the event the city
eventually wins the case, would
result in unnecessary costs to the
city.
The request was made in briefs
submitted to the court. Murray
and Joseph Mijich, attorney for
the State Fish and Game Depart
ments, will argue the case Mon
day before all nine members of
the court.
