Broadcasters Tell Of Protest To Bill Salem U.R Spokesmen for Oregon newspaper publishers and Oregon broadcasters ap peared before the Senate Judi ciary committee yesterday in opposition to Senate bill 4, which would repeal a 1955 act limiting the extent of damages that could be recovered in the case of what they called "inad verent libel." The 1955 act held the publish ers of newspapers and periodi cals, and radio and television broadcasters liable for actual damages but relieved them from the filing of punitive hbel ac tions if a retraction was printed before or upon demand where a so-called libel was made without intent, through publication orj broadcast of statements later found not to be fact. Resulted in No Abuses Lamar Tooze, Portland attor ney, appeared on behalf of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association, and said that so far as he had been able to deter mine, the 1955 act had resulted in no abuses, and was intended mainly to discourage "nuisance value" license suits. Senate bill 4, introduced by Sens. Philip Lowry of Medford, Carl Francis of Dayton and War ren Gill of Lebanon, would re turn the libel law provisions in Oregon revised statutes to the language of the law before the 1955 legislation was enacted. Sen. Lowry said he was con vinced of the unconstitutionality of the 1955 act, but Tooze said an even more restrictive act in California had in effect been held constitutional by the U.S. Supreme court. William W. Knight, publisher of the Oregon Journal, seconded the' presentation of the case by Tooze on behalf of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association. POITLAND LIVESTOCK Portland U P.
