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

really setting down legally for the
first time the defense stated in
the Zenger trial. The law did
not forbid criticism of the gov

curb malicious and false state

authorities abused it, the law was
permitted to lapse after its two

Astoria Hotel. 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.
