Censorship of Press Alleged by Two Solons
In Washington on March 18 Republican senators charged the Roosevelt administration with press censorship through both legislative and administrative actions. Senator Dickinson said a demand that telegraph companies appear to be placed under a new code was a fourth attempt to gag the press, while Senator Schall warned the interstate bill could be used to suppress news. The recovery administrator Hugh Johnson was blamed for failing to enforce censorship on the newspaper code and for trying to push it onto telegraph news dispatches. Dickinson urged a united press front to halt the plan, arguing it aims to Hitlerize the press and cover up maladministration to prevent voter revolt.
