Suit Against AP

1 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 W
The final phase of the legal bat
tle over the government's anti
trust suit against the Associated
Press opens today in the supreme
court. . , .
Counsel for the AP contends
that the civil anti-trust action as
it now stands would require the
non-profit news cooperative to
admit to membership all com
ers, thus in violation of the con
stitutional guarantee of freedom
of the press making it a public
utility subject to government
regulations.
. In reply, the government as
gerts that the AP would not be
converted into a public utility
and freedom of the press would
be furthered. It says the anti
trust laws do not affect theedi-

by the student body and a com

torial policies of the press, but
do deal with the relations of
AP and its members to other
newspaper enterprises.
The supreme couri fcinmru n
tntal of three hours for oral
arguments on the case, begin
ning with hearing fir counwi
probablv In mid-afternoon. Jus
tice department attorneys were
to begin their argument late to
day, or Wednesday afternoon.
The fir appeaieci 10 me iutn
irihiinn! from a decision by a
special three-judge federal court
in tne soutnern aisuici ui
York.
Thnt court found that the AP
did not monopolize or dominate
the gathering or distribution of
news. It ruled, however, that
the AP should be restrained
from observing by-laws under
which members might consider
the competitive ability of an ap
plicant for membership.
The court decreed that if AP
modified these by-laws, it could
continue to provide its news re
port exclusively to AP members,
to demand the local news of
members exclusively for AP use,
and retain its contract with the
Canadian press for exchange of
news. "
Tho iiistirp derjartment , also
appealed the special court find
ings, it asKea uibi me suichiu
court require a "more explicit
provision against exclusion ui
newspaper from AP membership
for competitive reasons.. This
should not be left to depend "up
on a gamble on the members
willingness to conform their con
duct to the spirit and intent of
the court's decree, ' me aepari
ment said. It also attacked the
cooperative's news exchange ar
ranoomentx with members and
the Canadian Press regardless of
any changes that might be made
in the by-laws.
The New York court based its
decree on a finding that news is
subject to a public policy requir
ine its dissemination "from as
maiw different sources, and
with as many different facets and
colors as is possible."
The AP in a brief filed with
the supreme court said the lower
court took the position that even
if the cooperative under the
court's decree became the only
news gathering agency, no pub
tin ininrv PHIlM TPSUlt.
"Thie nnsition." the AP brief
said, "is completely inconsistent
with the entire basis of the de
cision. If every paper published
the same dispatches from the
same agency there would then
ho nn multinlicitv of facets."
- The justice department like
wise presented a brief in which
it said the only change in the
by-laws required by the decree
apart irom news uui -
quiremenis is me emiuuauuu
nt h riiht to exclude news
papers from membership for
competitive reasons. .

If you are a civilian planning a holiday
trip on Southern Pacific this year, we
hope you will give up your plans and
thus save yourself from disappointment.
Here are the facts:
Already, Southern Pacific's volume ot
passenger traffic is about five times
greater than in 1940, a fairly normal
year, yet practically no new passenger
cars could be built since Pearl Harbor.
Too, we must move increasing thousands
of service men as the war against Japan
mounts in intensity. And we must be
ready at all times to transport the
wounded arriving from the Pacific-
In addition, thousands of service men
and women will be going home over the
holidays to visit their families. For many
: of them, it will be the last chance to go
home for a long time. We intend to take
care of them.
We can't add to the number of seat
and berths on our trainB, so it is clear
". that civilians planning holiday trips on
Southern Pacific will be disappointed.
Naturally we don't enjoy publishing i
this warning. Ordinarily we'd be very
happy if you "tried the train" on your
: holiday trip. Maybe next Christmas
there'll be room for everybody on our
trains. We profoundly hope so. But first
things come first until this war is over.
