Senate scheme to punish newspapers for nonpublication of replies
Contempt surfaced as the Senate, after accepting the committee report, waived rules to consider a bill imposing a 3000 dollar fine and up to 99 days in jail on newspapers failing to publish replies to criticism of any person. The proposal would force 10 day publication of replies in same prominence, against attacks on citizens in private or public life. Fines would range from 11000 to 13000 and jail terms from 30 to 90 days. An effort to defeat the bill failed 17-23.
