U.S. Press Protest To Tito
(Rec. 7 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 20. The Overseas Press Club of America protested today against restrictions placed by the Jugoslav Government on Western reporters who tried unsuccessfully to report the arrival of the Soviet Communist Party Secretary, IXIr Nikita Khrushchev, at Belgrade, yesterday. “We make this protest particularly because your security police permitted correspondents of Tass and Tanjug to enter the airport, while democratic journalists were barred,” the club cabled Marshal Tito. “Such discrimination is indefensible. Government censorship can take many forms, and when a Government prevents newspapermen from carrying out their legitimate assignments as your security police did. you are guilty of perpetuating the evils of press censorship.”
