basic difference between closed
doors on the meetings of govern
ment agencies and Russia’s iron
curtain,” he maintained.
The newspaperman answered
criticism concerning the “bad
news” now appearing in print, by
replying, “Newspapermen don’1
make news—they only tell whal
happens.” He explained that sup
pression of the “bad news” would
in effect, destroy the freedom o1
the press in the United States
and eventually would lead tc
censorship.
