" Clayton Hits U.S. News Suppression By DEL HARDING Staff Writer There is a growing tendency id" surpress news in America. So said Charles Clayton, editorial writer for the St Louis Globe- Democrat at a Love Library con vocation Wednesday afternoon. News sources practice this sur pression more than newspapers themselves, he said. , Police officials, school boards. and state legislatures are continu ing the "surpression trend" which originated in Washington, Clay ton said. Declaring "it can hap pen here," he pointed to cases of attempted news surpression in San Francisco, Atlanta, and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Newsmen who accept ' nana out news" as gospel also drew the criticism of Clayton, who de clared they should investigate the validity of the news releases. "The rjublic has a right to know Tthe" score frgm the precinct level up to vWshingtMeue "The American people can thinL straight when given the facts. The -news reed not be "sugar-coated the public can take the good' with the bad," Clayton added. Contending "the right to know is basic in a democracy," he criti cized some newspapers for not living up to their responsibility to "confine their opinion to the editorial page." But as a whole, he believes the American press is "alert in attempting to avoid sur pression." The primary function of a news paper is to print the news ac curately!" he said. Other func tions of nearly equal importance are to "comment fairly on issues of the day, but to "kepp sepa of the day," but to "keep sepa accounts. Clayton spoke at the first of a monthly series of journalism- school sponsored convocations.
