Martin, Griswold, with prominent
newsmen headline UN Journalism Day
"The fall of France was due
largely to censorship of the press,"
said Frank L. Martin, dean of the
school of journalism of Missouri,
speaking before a crowd of about
175 at the Journalism Day banquet
Friday night.

a threat to a free press in this

In France the press was so lim

people of actual conditions and the
public therefore could not demand

of keeping the people informed in

At the time when trouble broke
out in Europe there were some
10,000 reporters and cameramen
covering developments there. Be-
cause of the large corps of men a
fairly accurate account has come
Into this country. The information
sent into the United States also
served as a check on material re
ceived from foreign governmental
news agencies.
Dean Martin said that he thinks
the press has done an excellent job

included in the parade was the famous W. J. Bryan carriage drawn
by two prancing horses.
