Judges Call For Law To Limit News On Trials
U S judges urge Congress to curb information given to newsmen about federal criminal cases. Judge William F. Smith said restricting source disclosures would not threaten press freedom, noting venue changes and continuances aren’t always enough amid pervasive publicity. News organizations warned the Morse bill could cause greater evils than it prevents. Teamster Sidney Zagri backs the bill as a practical fix. The measure would bar federal employees or defendants or their attorneys from releasing material not properly filed with the court that could influence a pending case.
