Caldwell was a central figure in a package of cases in which the high court held that the First Amendment's guarantee of a free press does not give newsmen a right to refuse to testify before a grand jury about information gained in confidence. He was among lead-off witnesses as a House judiciary subcommittee began a new round of hearings on reporter-protection legislation. Many journalists, Caldwell said, "worry that some document or piece of information will come to their attention and that in possessing it or publishing it they will risk jail.

Somehow, I believe the framers of (he Constitution intended that no such ica." Furthermore, he said, as a black journalist, am deeply aware of the suspicion that exists regarding the press in my community. Even before the court ruling, people frequently asked me if I was a spy for the establishment. Now, they look upon me and my black colleagues with' a question: Even if you are not an agent now, how can we be sure you won't become one." Jack C. Landau, Supreme Court correspondent for the Newhouse Newspapers, and Jack Nelson, an investigative reporter for the Washington bureau of The Los Angeles Times, testifying on behalf of a Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said the issue involves censorship.

He said reporters "are being increasingly subjected to fishing expeditions under threat of jail if they persist in honoring their commitment and decline lo identify their source." He said 19 states have; enacted shield laws to protect! journalists.

But, he said, basedj on the subcommittee's hearings last year, 'while media organizations were united in favor of the enactment of a shield law, there was substantial division among these organizations as to whether the privilege to be time exist in Amer- established ought to be absolute or ought to be subject to qualifications." Rep. Jack Brooksn proposed a reporter-protection bill which he said would reaffirm the "conviction that freedom of the press is a sacred and vital part of free self-government, and that we do not intend to allow this freedom to be meddled with or chiseled away." His legislation would provide that no one could be forced to disclore information or a source unless 'overwhelming evidence shows that refusal would adversely affect the public safety to a substantial degree." Schmidt, in a 46-page analysis on newsmen's privilege legislation, said the legal bar against compelling testimony by reporters should be limited only by "narrowly defined qualifications to Hargrave Military Academy iu "ciai Roberts of Frederickstiurg 1 and and the College of William and Jane Daubenspeck; 81-year-old Mrs. Thomas Mary; He was a member 'of oth of Mrs, Hood of 'Randolph Mary; He was a member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

Peter W. N.J., chairman of th.e'.YIiill Judiciary he is "personally convinced'that we protect the or lose an invaluable source of public information." He said the press "must be freed of the power of government to harass and intimidate it." Congress should "pass promptly an absolute privilege bill for journalists," Caldwell said. He added: "only when we can operate in an atmosphere free of the intimidation of government can we assure the public that we are vigorously investigating all phases of corruption and political chicaned ry." When sources "have to consider such questions as how well a reporter will hold up under the threat of a jail sentence, they naturally become reticient," Caldwell said.

'Emergency' Topless Law Approved VIRGINIA BEACH (AP)'City Council passed an emergency ordinance Monday aimed at prohibiting topless entertain ment in bars and restaurants.

The ordinance, drafted by lawyer Grover C. Wright at the request of Councilman Charles W. Gardner, makes it illegal to display in a public place the male or female genitals, but locks, pubic area or any portion of a woman's breast below the nipple, without a "fully opaque covering." Although the which passed 9-0, was designed to end topless go-go dancing in the cityn it was drafted to encompass all public nudity to better withstand constitutional challenges in the courts. City Ally. J.

Dale Bimson conceded after the council meeting that the ordinance "could conceivably" result in women being arrested for going braless while wearing see- through blouses, or dresses or letters to members of the General and federal officials. Gurley has obtained some persuasive help, too. Gov. Linwood Holton said last week he regards the idea as "most commendable" and gave his support to the efforts of 1st District Rep. Thomas N.

Downing to have the feasibility study made. The United States, once the queen of this nation's maritime fleet, now is in "mothballs" at Norfolk. "It's a shame this great ocean liner is no longer in use," Holton said. A project similar to the one proposed by Gurley was launched in June 1971 when the city of Long Beach, opened the British liner Queen Mary as a permanently moored tourist center. It cost Long Beach a whopping $41 million lo renovate the Queen Mary a lot more than ton, assistant city manager of Long Beach, adding: "There seems to be renewed manager, seeking interest in Long Beach.

Rep. Robert W. Kastenmeier, head of the subcommittee, said there have been 28 bills introduced by 100 congressmen covering the subject of newsmen protection.
