ADMISSION OF COMMUNIST TO U.S. EXPLAINED
(Rec. 11.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. , 26.
Under a new policy the United States is admitting correspondents from foreign Communist journals to the United States for the sole purpose of reporting the activities of the United Nations. * A State Department official said today, in explaining why a' visa was granted, io Pierre Courtade, of the Paris daily, Humanite, that the United States immigration laws and Justice Department rulings bar all Communists, except officials and diplomats, from unrestricted entry. Courtade had been admitted at the request of the United Nations secretariat; and, although he was required to pledge that he would confine his "reporting to the United Nations General Assembly and return to Paris when the Assembly sessions ended, there would be no censorship of his despatches. The official added that the restrictions imposed by Russia for the Foreign Ministers’ conference in Moscow in March had no bearing on United States policy.
