Baker Admits Ban on Papers Critics in War Effort
Secretary Baker said officials representing the government should not criticise newspapers and cited a Hearst newspaper critic as the target. Dr. James A. B. Scherer resigned as chief field agent of the Council of National Defense, claiming the policy restricts free speech. The case ties to Hearst papers and Universal Film Co concerns over prohibitions on denouncing media.
