...what they please. In Jackson (Miss.), a self-styled "Negro emancipator" named Arrington High attacked state officials so savagely in his mimeographed weekly Eagle Eye that he was arrested and fined three times on the charge of "distributing handbills without a permit." The press defended his right to print the weekly, and the county court overturned his last conviction, ruling: "No matter how great the provocation, governmental agencies cannot indulge in indignation . . .The situation [cannot] be helped by an unlawful arrest and conviction...

Throughout the last few years the actions of several notorious committees have shown that the fine print of a few procedural rules are needed to halt the two-inch headlines of unrestrained chairmen.

A fortnight ago Franco's Falange party struck at ABC again by drastically cutting its newsprint quota, after the paper neglected to print a "required" editorial praising government candidates for public office. So strong is government censorship that neither the actions against ABC nor the proposed new press law have been reported in the country. When the New York Times's international edition carried a full story on the latest attempt to control Spain...
