Committee seeks news leak
(Continued from Page 1)
of the Press, which was acting on Schorr’s
behalf to get the report published. He said
he had “absolutely no knowledge” of
Schorr’s source and said he did not inquire
about the source’s identity.
The Ethics Committee has spent around
$150,000 trying to track down Schorr’s
source.
Schorr said it was a matter of professional
conscience as well as his constitutional
rights guaranteeing freedom of the press
not to help the committee discover his
source.
“Even if our legal position were not as
strong as it is, I could still not tell you my
source,” Schorr said. “For me, it is a per
sonal matter, almost a visceral matter.
“For some of us — doctors, lawyers,
clergymen and journalists — it is an article
of faith that we must keep confidential
those matters entrusted to us only because
of the assurances that they would remain
confidential,” he said.
“For a journalist, the most crucial kind of
confidence is the identity of a source of
information,” Schorr said. “To betray a
confidential source would mean to dry up
many future sources for many future re
porters. The reporter and the news organi
zation would be the immediate losers. The
ultimate losers would be the American
people and their free institutions.”
Three other writers and editors were
subpoenaed along with Schorr to appear
before the Ethics Committee. The three,
all connected with the publication of the
report in the Village Voice, are Clay S.
Felker, Aaron Latham and Sally Zalaznick.
Ethics Committee Chairman John J.
Flynt, D-Ga., and Rep. Charles Bennett,
D-Fla., have said they think they know
who leaked the report to Schorr but they
haven’t been able to prove it.
The committee’s last-ditch attempt to
obtain that proof came Tuesday with nine-
and-a-half hours of closed door questioning
of four former staffers of the new defunct
intelligence committee.
An Ethics Committee source said one
target was Robert Brauer, an aide to Rep.
Ronald Dellums, D-Calif., and the com
mittee had hoped that the other three ex
staffers would implicate him. However,
this plan apparently did not work and
Brauer repeated for the committee his ear
lier sworn denial that he gave the report to
Schorr or knew who did.
Schorr obtained his copy of the report
after the House intelligence committee
had voted to publish it but before the full
House reversed the panel and ordered it
kept secret. Schorr subsequently gave his
copy to the Village Voice.
Meanwhile, more than 5,000 journalists
signed petitions circulated by the The
Newspaper Guild urging the Ethics Com
mittee to drop its investigation of Schorr,
saying this was endangering the constitu
tional rights of a free press.
Thirty-five members of Congress also
sent a letter to Flynt asking that the Schorr
subpoena be dropped. Flynt refused to
comment Tuesday either about the letter
from his colleagues or the petitions from
the journalists, which were personally de
livered by the president of The Newspaper
Guild, Charles Perlik.
Flynt also refused to comment on the
refusal Tuesday of the House Administra
tion Committee to grant his request for
another $100,000 to continue the Schorr
inquiry.

Associated Press
NEW YORK — It will be hard
low to convince 92-year-old
ugenia Tolmatchoff that New York
a cold-hearted city.
First there were the two men who
mght the thief who snatched her
wrse and brought it back with her
170 Social Security money still in-
act.
And while they were chasing the
bief, there was the stranger who saw
er weeping over the money she
bought she had lost, and gave her
170 out of his pocket.
And then there were the two nice
olicemen, who tried hard to catch
up with the man who gave her the
money, so she could return it be
cause “I’m not greedy.”
The elderly woman had just
cashed her Social Security check at a
bank and returned to her West
142nd Street home when a young
man followed her into the lobby,
grabbed her purse and fled.
Sanitationman Joseph Casalaro
and Frank Nieve, a neighborhood
resident, heard her screaming, saw
the running thief and gave chase.
Three blocks away they caught
him, grappled with him and got the
purse. The thief broke loose and ran.
While all this was going on, an
unidentified man asked the old
woman why she was crying outside
the building. She told him, he
reached into his pocket, counted out
$170 and handed it to her, saying:
“Here, this is yours. Don’t upset
youself any more.”
Police Officers Ray Latimer and
William Benthel showed up to inves
tigate the robbery and at her insis
tence tried in vain to find her be
nefactor.
“She told us she is going to keep
looking for the man,” Latimer said
later, “and said if she can’t find the
gentleman, she will give the money
to her church on Sunday.”
