VOL. 298 United Press Wire Service By Bob Sprinklo MAYBE YOU A READ elsewhere what Henry Morgan had to say about freedom of the press.

If you have it's worth reading again, and if you haven't you are going to have the opportunity because the satirical radio comedian did an expert job of stating the case. No one in public life today can BO squelch somebody else as does the guy who can't keep a job on the networks because of the barbs he hurls at the product he is supposed to be selling. The audience likes it, but the sponsor doesn't. The same might be said of the brief talk he gave recently before the New York chapter Sigma Delta Chi, national jour nalistic fraternity, but he mad a point that probably never has been excelled for its effectiveness. The text of his talk follows: "I was asked here this even ing mainly because It's common nowledge that I am an authority this stuff.

Story Bridge Blocked by Huge Truck Traffic was temporarily rerouted around a blocked bridge on Highway 30, four miles east of Nevada, today after a semi-trailer truck, owned by Denver Fast Freight, tipped over approaching the bridge, skidded onto the knocking off part of the concrete railing and remained on the bridge.

Though a big piece of the east 5nd of the railing was knocked off into the 40-foot ravine, the railing was credited by officials who investigated the mishap for the truck and load from plunging over the side and possibly into a creek below.

S. Will Keep Troops In Trieste WASHINGTON W.Et--The United States planned today to reject Russia's demand that U. S. troops leave Trlestes. Russia 'accused the United States and Britain on April 21 of setting up an illegal naval base in Trieste and mistreating the native population of the international city.

It demanded that all U. S. and British troops be withdrawn. U. S.

officials contend the Soviet note was intended primarily propaganda. The western powers apparently ignore the Soviet originally. Russia by refusing to ne- rian treaty until the reply. The State department feels the questions of Triestes and Austria are not related and should be bandied separately. An Austrian treaty would require all foreign troops to leave the country and department officials believe the Russians raised the Trieste issue only as a tactic to delay signing such an agreement.

The United States, Britain and France yesterday challenged Russia to place Hs occupation zone of Austria under civilian instead of military control and to take other measures "to strengthen the authority of the Austrian government and to lighten the burden of the occupation."

Webber closeJ out the match 'on the 16th hole with a 40-foot putt. The two youthful golfers were nearly even off the tee today, but it was Webber's putter which made the difference.

Schultz was steady until he the green and then his putter failed him. Webber turned the first nine in 37--two over par, compared to Schultz's par 35. but Webber came on fast to win the match with two holes to go. TROUBLE ON 16TH A bad start on the 16th hole made it look bad for Webber when he drove into a sand trap, and then a rather poor shot out of the 'trap luckily landed on the edge of the green 40 feet from the cup. Webber's putt was in all the way of those 40 feet.

Then Schultz blew a 5-footer and the match. Starting off at 9:30 they were even the first four holes. On No. 5 green. Webber blew a 5-foo-t putt to go one down.

No. 6 was halved and Schultz took 7 to go 2 up on Webber, who 3-putted. Schultz hlew a 5-foot putt on S. Webber birdied hole 9 with a 3, ending the first 9 holes with 37 Harry Bridges Is Deprived of His 5. Citizenship SAX FRAXC1SCO Judce George B.
