Freedom - Of Press Defended (Continuea from Page One) suits brought by Congressman Swee- ney against the Washington Merry- | Go-Round column and its clients. Judge Allred, in one of the most vigorcus defenses of the freedom of the press handed down by a Federal Judge in recent years, states regard- ing the column which Drew Pearson land Robert S. Allen wrote about Congressman Sweeney that “public officials and candidates are legiti- mate subjects for news and com- ,ment. While they cannot be libeled, |they must reconcile themselves to | occasional yarns which, however, hurtful to their feelings, are not | actionable.” ' “It is not a question of how a | judge or plaintiff might feel about it; mere injury to the feelings of a | public officer cannot be the basis of an action,” Judge Allred said. “All judges, I assume feel in their {own minds they are liberal; but a than 60 men and weapons, was tried \flmme against a judge, however | The trailer is eperated on the principle of a hook and ladder |untrue, that he is not liberal or is ' ———————————————————— { i‘;actipnary would hardly be libelous.

S. District Attorney Freed of | i Cleveland to be a Federal Judge be- | cause Freed was a foreign born Jew. | Discussing the truth of the col-| |umn, Judge Allred said that Con- | Bressman Sweeney “does not deny that he was known as the Congres- sional spokesman of Father Cough- lin, or that the basis of Father Coughlin's opposition to Freed was ! that he was a Jew, not born in the| United States; nor does he deny that | “the basis of his own opposition was | that Freed was not born in the Unit- | ed States.
