SENATE DECLARES FOR CENSORSHIP Upper House Refuses to Vote Out Sections Designed to Make News Not Dangerous. Washington, April 21.?The senate recorded itself today in favor of press censorship during the war. A censorship clause of the administration's espionage bill after de cided modification was retained in te bill by a vote of 43 to 33 after three days of sharp debate and was regarded as definitely forecasting final retention of the censorsip provisions. Later the bill was laid aside indefinitely to permit consideration beginning tomorrow of the war army measure. The house judiciary commitee has completed its draft of the espionage bill, also with a cnsorship clause, and will report it Monday. The provisions as finally accepted by the senate follows: "Whoever in time of war, in vio iation ox icosuuauic ? ? prescribed by the president, which is hereby authorized to make and promulgate, shall publish any information with respect to the movement, numbers description, condition or disposition of any of the armed forces, ships, aircraft or war materials of the United States or with respect to the plans or conduct f. * of any naval or military operations . or with respect to any works or measures undertaken for or connected with or intended for the fortification or defense of any place or any other information relating to the public defense calculated to be useful to the enemy, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10, 000 or Dy imprisonment iur uuv more than ten years or by both, such fine and imprisonment: Provided, That nothing is in this section shall I be construed to limit or restrict, nor shall any regulation herein provided for limit or restrict any dis/ cussion, comment or criticism of the v acts or policies of the government or its representatives or publication of the same." Foes of the provision declared that rit was unconstitutional and the most drastic curb upon freedom of speech and the press guaranteed by the constitution ever proposed. Before the final vote the original committee draft, much more swepeing and drastic, was greatly modified The committee proposed to prohibit not only the .publication of military information except under presidential regulation* but also its collec tion, recording or attempts to elicit it Elimination of these additional restrictions was approved by the senate. Another change, upon an amendment by Senator Hitchcock, provided that the president's regulations shall be reasonable. ? A substitute for the whole clause, submitted by Senator Cummins, which proposed that the president be authorized to prescribe 'regulations which would not abridge freedom of K; speech or the press, was rejected, 40 to 34. .
