Newspapers seeking liberty
to interview prison inmates
WASHINGTON <A>) — A group
of newspaper reporters, two com
munications corporations and sev
eral prison inmates have filed
suit against Atty. Gen. John N.
Mitchell and the director of the
federal Bureau of Prisons to pre
vent the bureau from blocking
press interviews with prisoners,
the American Civil Liberties
Union announced today.

The plaintiffs include Tom
Wicker of The New York Times,
Don Singleton of The New York
Daily News, Betty Medsger of
The Washington Post, Nat Hent-
off and Jack Newfield of The Vil
lage Voice, Playboy Enterprises
Inc. of Delaware and The Amster
dam News Inc. of New York.
The ACLU said the suit was
filed in the U.S. District Court
in Washington as a class action
on behalf of all news media seek
ing to interview federal prisoners
and all prisoners who wish to be
interviewed. It seeks a perma
nent injunction “against the bu
reau’s policy of barring the press
from interviewing federal pris
oners,” the ACLU said.
The suit argues the bureau’s
ban violates freedom of the press
and the inmates’ right to free ex
pression.
The prisons bureau, the suit
claims, is attempting to stifle
criticism of the prisons and dis
semination of inmates’ views.
Two ships
(Continued from page 1)
fire a warning shot, the 230-foot
Storis recaptured the Soviet fac
tory ship early Tuesday morning
and resumed its escort course for
Adak.
Spokesmen at the 17th District
Coast Guard headquarters in
Juneau said the Lamut, report
edly carrying fleet commander
Vladimir Artemov, and the 278-
foot sidetrawler were discovered
about 91/2 miles from the island.
Harry Rietze, regional direc
tor for the National Marine Fish
eries Service, said the United
States permits Soviet fishing
boats to take shelter near the
island in three different loca
tions, one of them less than 10
miles away from the seizure site.
In the special zones, he said the
foreign vessels may venture as
close as three miles to shore.
The Coast Guard said the sea
chase began when the two Soviet
vessels balked at proceeding to
the Adak naval base, and the
Lamut broke away with a Coast
Guard party aboard.
Spokesmen say it may be days
before it is known what happened
to the boarding party during the
escape attempt, but no injuries
were reported. Receiving permis
sion to fire a warning volley, the
Storis took pursuit.
“At the end, the Storis kept
crossing his bow, forcing him to
change course and slowing him
down,” said Lt. Cmdr. Emmanuel
Schneider, district intelligence
and operations officer in Juneau.
“They were in ice, and the Storis
has an advantage because it’s an
icebreaker.
“Finally,” he said, “the Storis
ordered him to stop or he would
be forced to take action, when he
warned he was ready to fire, it
was about as close as you can
get.”
It was not known why the Koly-
van made no effort to flee while
the Storis was occupied.
