1 P I THE BATTALION Wednesday, April 25, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3 Newsman’s Rights Conflict Shifts To State Legislatures By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer The action in the conflict over a newsman’s right to protect his sources has shifted from the courts to the legislative chamber. Federal and state lawmakers are debating a wide variety of bills that would give newsmen partial or complete immunity from being forced to disclose sources of confidential informa tion. The House Judiciary Commit tee ended hearings last month on the subject of newsmen’s priv ilege and a subcommittee headed by U. S. Rep. Robert Kasten- meier, D-Wis., has met twice to try to reach a consensus. The Senate Judiciary Subcom mittee on Constitutional Rights, headed by U. S. Sen. Sam J. Er vin Jr., D-N.C., also held lengthy hearings last month, but has taken no action. Most of the bills fall into two basic categories — one group provides newsmen with unquali fied immunity from testifying about their sources before any grand jury or legislative investi gation; the other offers limited immunity. In the House, for example, a bill co-sponsored by five Repub licans would provide absolute privilege for newsmen with re gard to investigative proceedings before government agencies, fed- Library Art Prints Due Friday Art prints in the Library’s lending collection are due Friday, Circulation Librarian Mel Dodd reminded. Students who borrowed the works of renown artists in Jan uary should check the prints in at the main desk. The 80 ready- to-display prints will be prepared for summer loan. They are loaned only to A&M students. Borrowers are responsible for lost or damaged prints. Replace ment cost ranges from $25 to $40. eral grand juries or congres sional communities. It would provide only limited privilege in civil or criminal pro ceedings in federal courts. News men could be required to disclose confidential information or sources if the court found that the material was relevant to a significant issue in the case and could not be obtained elsewhere. Another House bill, introduced by John B. Anderson of Illinois, also a Republican, would give professional newsmen unquali fied protection from federal or state court orders to reveal con fidential news sources or infor mation. Anderson said any qualifica tions in a press shield bill would provide loopholes for attorneys on “fishing expeditions.” The American Newspaper Pub lishers Association and other press groups have urged approv al of an unqualified shield law. Congressional sources say, however, that chances for such a measure are slim. “They’re not going to get anything strong out of the subcommittee,” said Law rence Baskir, counsel to the Sen ate subcommittee. Ervin himself said earlier, “I don’t believe Congress will pass an unqualified privilege bill.” The U. S. Supreme Court ruled last year that the First Amend ment to the Constitution does not give newsmen a special exemp tion from testifying before a grand jury about information gained in confidence. Several re porters have gone to jail for con tempt of court rather than dis close their sources. Earl Caldwell, a New York Times reporter and one of those involved in the cases that led to the court ruling, told the House hearings that since the decision “we have seen prosecutors and judges emboldened by the notion that reporters can Ipecome . . . investigative arms of the law en forcement process.” The court refused Monday to hear the case of David M. Light- man, a Baltimore Evening Sun reporter who was cited for con- Services Building Dedication Slated Dedication of A&M’s Services Building has been set for 2 p.m. April 30.

The plaque to be placed at the entrance to the McDonald Build ing bears this inscription: “In memory of Reed McDonald, whose efforts inspired enactment of the Texas Commercial Feed Control Act of 1957 and the Tex as Commercial Fertilizer Control Act of 1961, and who served as first director of the State Feed and Fertilizer Control Service, 1961-1971.” Tours of the McDonald Build ing will follow the program, ac cording to Dr. Flake Fisher of the Experiment Station staff and current director of the Feed and Fertilizer Control Service.

Lightman claimed the probe was motivated by a desire by the grand jury to harass his newspaper. A special state court of appeals had upheld the con tempt citation, ruling that Light- man himself was the “source” of the story which involved mari juana. Earlier, the court declined to hear a petition from Peter Bridge — jailed for 21 days for refusing to answer some questions in a grand jury probe involving the Newark, N.J., housing authority. Bridge had appealed state court rulings upholding his cita tion for contempt of the Essex County grand jury and asked the court to rule that grand juries be required to show a compelling need before they question news men. New jersey lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year that would have given newsmen broad im munity from testifying but it was vetoed by Gov. William T. Cahill. Elsewhere at the state level, developments included: Connecticut—a proposed shield law died in committee April 10 after an argument over the ex tent to which sources should be protected. Tennessee — Gov. Winfield Dunn signed into law on April 5 a bill forbidding lower courts to subpoena newsmen without first showing “overriding” public in terest to an appellate court. i *» n ■ GINGER WHITACRE was crowned Queen Cotton dur ing the 39th annual Cotton Pageant and Ball.
