Editors Unite for Free Press at ASNE Meeting
Four hundred editors gathered in Washington for the American Society of Newspaper Editors to prepare new defenses of censorship and press suppression. President Dwight Young warned of a rising cadre of potential dictators across government as editors plan to press a strong resolution against La Prensa’s closure. MacArthur was a focal point of scrutiny as Keyes Beech previews his Tokyo tiff. MacArthur may visit later as Beech prepares to recount his sources. Truman canceled as luncheon speaker, with ceremonies to be televised from the Capitol and Washington Monument.
