Newspapers have fneq'jentiy ex pressed alarm at the cunnur in which some states and sonx- i'jv ernmcnt agencies restrict access to information. Reporters have been shut off from what they be lieve is public news by closed doors of government bodies. But when the wall of secrecy is breeched and the nes pub lished, at least the editors and publishers can feel safe that they will not be throun in jail. A newspaper which criticizes the government whether it be the person of the President or the chairman of a local water board can do so without fearing re prisals. Such was not the ca.-c lrom almost the moment the first American newspaper. Publick Oc currences, was published in Bos Ion in W.IO by Benjamin Harris. The paper was suppressed alter one issue, not because of libel, but because of the truth. Harris' report describing Indian allies a.s "miserable savages" was. taken as criticism of colonial policy. The most significant milestone on the road to press freedom was reached in (he case involving John Peter Zengcr, a German immigrant. Publishing the New York Journ tel. Zcnger attacked William Cosby, governor of New York, and subsequently was .charged with "scandalous, virulent and seditious reflections upon the government." When the grand jury refused In return a true bill, and the New York Assembly refused to take sep arate action, Cosby prodded his! council into taking action. Zenker' was brought to trial in 17.1.5 on a reduced charge of "raising sedi tion." Two defense attorneys who dis puted the warrant against Zcnger were disbarred, and the court ap pointed a defense counsel. But at the moment of the trial, Philadel phia lawyer Andrew Hamilton, en tered the picture as counsel for Zengcr. He took a dramatic step by slating that the delcnse did not deny publication of the critical articles. His argument was that it is not libel to print the truth. The jury responded to Ihm argu ment and freed Zengcr. Thus, one of the great steps toward press a me. Hi! w.-jb indicted in ISM wind iuiit.v.

The law did not forbid criticism of the gov ernment, it only attempted t o curb malicious and false state ments published to defame of ficials. But because of the way authorities abused it, the law was permitted to lapse after its two year limit. To many authorities, the battle flag in the crusade for press free dom was first raised in England by Poet John Milton, in his speech to Parliament in 1644. The speech. "Areopagitica." was an argument lor the right to express himself in print without having that ex pression approved in advance. It s essentially a cry against pre- censorship. While the girl toiled, there came an indignant woman's voice from a nearby house: "It seems to me that you men then, could at least help that girl in stead of just standing around."

They have been fet ing the press with luncheons tea turina such delicacies as duck with wild rice. Representatives of Thondup say the bill for all this is being footed the by the Dalai Lamas exnea gov ernment. They hint that the ruler managed to take considerable money on his flight lrom Lhasa to India last spring. Thondup appears to be a dedi cated crusader for his oppressed land. He feels it is the duty of the U.. to sec that a peaceful solu tion is reached somehow between Tibet and Red China. He has in dicated he would like to see the assembly set up a U.N. commis sion to restore conditions that existed before 1950, when Tibet was a sovereign state linked to both India and China. Thondup is openly distressed at the reluctance ol some Asian na tions to help his brother's cause, but he says he realizes that coun tries bordering on Red China hesitate to give outward support lor fear of endangering their own position. Actually Thondup's knowledge of recent events in his land is second hand. Fearing for his life alter the Red Chinese occupied Lhasa. Thondup went to India in i;i52. He spent the seven years there as a student and unofficial liaison between India and Tibet. Before the Communists seized power on the Chinese mainland in 1IM9, Thondup was a student in China and married a Chinese girl. They have three children.
