C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1942 Wage-Hour Law Held Free Press Threat in Supreme Court Brief Lowell Sun Opposes Demand for Data on Pay of Its Workers By the Associated Press. Application of the Federal wage- hour law to newspapers is a viola- tion of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of the press, Elisha Hanson, counsel for the Lowell (Mass.) Sun, declared yesterday in a brief filed in the Supreme Court wage-hour administrator for data from the newspaper bearing on wages and hours of labor. ‘The litigation is to determine, specifically, whether the adminis- trator may delegate to subordina * * * | in the =~ o BOMBS.

Mr. Hanson said that if Congress had regulatory power over the press it “could determine who might or might not engage in the newspaper publishing business and limit the extent of their activities therein; where and when a newspaper might circulate; how many coples it might distribute; who might or might not write for it; what it should or should not publish; who might or might not advertise in it; what it should charge for its publications; what it should charge its advertisers for the service ren- dered therein; the conditions under which it might receive its news report; the amount of space that it might devote to such reports.” “Further,” the brief added, “if it had the power to regulate the press, Congress could compel reports of such frequency as it might deter- mine concerning every operation of the press. “Merely to mention these few items is to demonstrate that Con- gress lacks the power to regulate the press.” Mr. Hanson also asserted that “if ever the expression ‘fishing expe- dition’ aptly described the nature of the asserted power of investi- gation, this is such a case.” Post-War Guidance Plan for Pupils Now Must Be Evolved, Child Welfare Committee Is Told at Meeting Need for an adult guidance pro- gram at the close of war to handle problems of young people now leav- ing school to take defense jobs was stressed at a meeting yesterday of the Child Welfare Committee of the Council of Social Agencies.
