NEW U.S. POLICY
COMMUNIST JOURNALISTS
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. Under a new policy the United States - is admitting correspondents from for- , eign Communist journals to the United States for the sole purpose of reporting the activities of the United Nations. A State Department made this statement today in explaining why a visa was granted to M. Pierre Courtade, of the Paris Daily Humanite. The. United States immigration laws and Justice Department’s rulings bar all Communists except officials and diolomats from unrestricted entry. M. 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 Asseipbly and return to Paris when the Assembly’s sessions ended, there would be no censorship of his dispatches. The official added that the restrictions imposed by Russia for the Foreign
Ministers’ Conference in Moscow in March had no bearing on the United States policy.
