MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 6 Thursday, April 16, 19S9 ASNE Refusal of TV Coverage for Casiro Talk Hit Washington (ITD The American Society of News paper Editors, a champion of free access to the news, was embroiled today in a brisk dispute with broadcasters over the application of that prin ciple to coverage of its own annual meeting. The controversy, one of the sharpest in the ASNE's his ' tory, blew up around the fea ture attraction of the society's three-day program, an appear ance Friday afternoon by Cu ban Prime Minister Fidel Cas tro. Ban Protested Broadcasters protested an announcement by ASNE presi dent George W. Healy Jr. ban ning television coverage of Castro's speech and the ques-tion-and-answer period follow ing it. Healy said radio networks would be permitted to cover Castro's appearance, over a single pooled microphone, either for live broadcast or transcription for later broad cast. But TV cameramen will be restricted to taking pictures of Castro in an anteroom be fore his speech begins. The Radio and Television Correspondents Association of Washington protested to Healy that this decision was "an arbitrary suppression of free , dom of access to the news" the very kind of suppression which "the ASNE has so long fought valiantly against. Shocked by Refusal " Harold E.' Fellows, presi dent of the National Associa tion of Broadcasters, wired Hpalv that. "We are shocked and bewildered by your refus al to permit television cover age . . . we cannot conceive of your taking this position in view of your historic struggle to preserve and maintain free access to the news." John F. Lewis, chairman of the Freedom of Information Committee of the. Radio-Television News Directors Associ ation, said, "The news in dustry cannot stand as a house divided. Equal access for all editors to uphold, whether they tell the story in printed words or in front of micro phones and cameras." Society Stands Pal After reviewing the issue with the fuU ASNE board of directors, Healy said the so ciety is standing pat on its decision. He told a reporter "it simply would not be feasible" to allow television cameras and their bulky accessories in side the Presidential Ballroom of the Hotel Statler where Castro will speak.
