May 25 'API A free press was hailed Tuesday as the "most important factor in the operation of a free democracy" by Robert McLean, Philadelphia, president of the Associated Press. McLean, who is president of the Philadelphia Bulletin, was in Minneapolis to speak at a dinner for civil leaders tonight in connection with dedication of the new Minneapolis Star and Tribune building. A free press is vital to the future of world democracies "because it is the means by which we keep posted on what public servants arc doing." McLean said. The AP president cited a resolution about to be transmitted to the United Nations general assembly which would call for freedom of news of all nations and for the access to the transport of that news. The resolution is the first international expression of the doctrine of freedom of information, McLean said.

"AP news is given to Russia through Tass, the Russian news agency, but how much of this is actually used is impossible to know," McLean said.
