ATTACKS POST At
.CENSORSHIP PLAN
.. i v - -
WW Move for Elimination of
Restriction on Liberty of
Press Before Final Vote
. . on Sedition Bill.
(By Associated .Fress.) : .,
Washington May 3. An agree
ment to vote it 4 o'clock tomorrow
on the conference report on the se
- ditlon bill penalizing, disloyal acts and
utterances jas saached .today by the
senate after another day of attack on
.features alleged to limit freedom of
speech and extending the postmas
ter general's mail censorship powers.
I Criticism of the measure was con
tinued by several senators, led by
Senator. Sherman of "Illinois, republi
can, whcragam assailed administration
officials, including Attorney General
Gregory and Secretary Baker. The
Illinois senator charged the attorney
general with lacking vigor in prose
f cuting and with removing a Tennes
see district attorney who was pro-
ceeding under the enemy alien law
against Major E. B. Stahlman, pub
lisher of the Nashville. Banner.
Senator, Norris .of Nebraska also
attacked , the censorship clause and
announced that he would move for
its elimination. He said the power
proposed for the postmaster general
to withhold mail which he believes
wduld violate the espionage law 'is
too great to, give any man.
"What a power this would be in the
hands of an unscrupulous man in a
political campaign," said Senator Nor
ris. "He could raise a slush fund
that would make the UbertyNoan look
like thirty cents." 1 ,
Senator King, tTemoarat, of Utah,
replied that the provision- would give
the postmaster general no greater
power than he had in peacd times to
sop fraudulent schemes.
r Senator McCurftber of "North Da
kota, republican, declared tfiat the
legislation would .not harm loyal
Americans, 'but is needed to curb dis
loyalists. 1 . :,
