PAGE EIGHT AP CHIEF SPEAKS FOR CONTINUED FREEDOM OF PRESS Suppression of news can pegin as a small thing, but from its small Be- ginnings it can lead to outright cen- sorship, Murlin Spencer, chief ot the Associated Press's Pacific Northwest Bureau, said today. Speaking at the noon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, he said: “There is no basic ditference between closed doors on the meet- ings of government agencies and Russia’s Iron Curtain.” In effect, both are the same, he declared. He traced the progress made by pre-war Japanese officials in sup- pressing the news, first by request- ing the major Japanese news agency to withhold certain items and fin ally by dictating what should be printed. He said complaints had bee made that too much “bad news was being gathered and distributed “It must be remembered that the newspapermen do not make news— they can't control what happens, he stated. The international situation beins what it is, a great deal of news 1 bound to be bad, he said; but tha is no reason for suppressing the bac news in favor of the good. ith our freedom of the press we Americans know what is going on,” he said. He explained to the members o) the Chamber that the Associatec g Press is a non-profit cooperative through which newspapers ex change the news they gather. Illustrating the effectiveness of the arrangement, he pointed ou that when the recent grand jur indictmént story broke in Wash- ington, it took only 45 minutes for the Associated Press to distribuis to Alaska the stéry of the indict- ments from Washington, a local angle from Anchorage, and the statement of one head of one of the cc\ipanies concerned. Henry Green read a letter from representatives of air and surface carriers participating in Alaske transportation. It said they had mei to study the possibility of develop: ing winter tourist travel to Alaska. Tom Dyer, chairman of the avi- ation committee, said that after meeting with representatives of the Civil Aeronautics Authority he fell sure that Juneau airport will get an extension to its runway.
