Jaruzelski's "liberalization" proposal amounts to taking back with one hand what he was giving with the other. The ban on public gatherings, for example, will be lifted, but the penal code has now been amended to make it illegal to "incite public unrest." The punishment for the new crime: up to three years in prison. In addition, it is illegal to "collect" antistate publications; under martial law it was only illegal to print or distribute them. Similarly, the routine tapping of telephone conversations will be suspended. But the government will retain the right to tap phone calls...

But after questioning, Hambleton was released on the grounds that his spying did not directly affect Canadian security.

Among other things, the code said that advertising during prime time should be limited to 9½ min. an hour (14 min. for independent stations). The Government filed suit against the N.A.B. in 1979, charging that the code had driven up advertising costs by restricting the supply of air time for commercials. Last week U.S. District Court Judge Harold H. Greene signed a consent decree under which the N.A.B. and Justice agreed to eliminate the restraints. Now, theoretically at least, station owners can flood the air with commericals...
