laws endangering press freedom In both countries the governments have maintained the freedom of the press the IAPA board noted at its annual midyear meeting But in Peru a little-known section of the military code was used to indict a newspaperman for insulting the police In Chile the law on publicity abuses enacted last year contains "provisions which would limit newspaper work" the board said

Congress would eliminate objectionable sections of the military code "If this does not occur it is obvious that although at the present time the press in Peru can work freely and without any restrictions there is a latent danger against freedom ot the press and there remains a dark cloud which at any moment could burst over Permian jounalism" the board said 501 DuPont Nylon Carpet $299 yd
