WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The Jewish Telegraphic Agency formally protested this week to Secretary of State Dean Rusk against the exclusion of its Washington correspondent from a State Department briefing on the Arab refugee question and asked that measures be taken to ensure against a recurrence of the discrimination. 1
The JTA correspondent, Milton Friedman, was denied ad- miisston to a press coniforenice on
Jan. 28 by Robert C. Strong, dl rector bi *he State Department's Office of Near Eastern AffaArs. Mr. Strong said he took objection to JTA reporting of news Involv¬ ing; State I>epartenent poUcies and oomplained that Israeli diiplomats had used JTA mews reports as the basis for queries of liia depart¬ ment.
THE pilOTEST, made in the name of the JTA's Board of Di¬ rectors and signed by Philip Slom¬ ovitz, Vice-president of the agency, pointed ovit. that the aot of dis¬ crimination agiainst JTa by on officiaj of the Department of State "served to deprive terge segmemte of the American Jew¬ ish community erf l-nAM-mation made public by the Department in wWch they were speclally oon- comied and in wiiilch it was In the best Interests of American policy tha* they be fully Informed."
The letter also stressed con¬ cern that "such aots of diworlmjl- natian net be repeated and that repreaientatjves of this ogency should not ibe barred f^om access to newis being made available to other Information media. We are likewise deeply concernied," it added "over what certainly ap¬ pears In this case to be an at¬ tempt to control the news by de¬ nying access to nfiWismen whose dispatches may nx>t please offi- claJs involved."
The JTA protest to the Secre¬ tary of State also Caressed that "we bel«!ive hat it is not only a disorimiimatton against the Jew¬ ish Telegraiphlo Ageiiicy that Is bi- votved here, but aJso a Hmitatlon on the «reedom of the press. We consider it a dhsservloe to Ameri¬ can dntereats on the wJiole, that there be tnterference viMi Ute tree and untrainimeled flow of in¬ formation."
