BUCKLEY (A Washington Star Syndi- eate column by the editor of the conservalive magazine National Review.) IN RECENT WEEKS THE managing editor of the Now York Times, A.M. Rosenthal, has argued forcefully the merits . of his reporter in New Jersey, Myron Farber, refusing to permit the judge at a murder trial to look at Farber's notes. The controversy is interesting, and responsible men can opine in favor of the judge, who points out that a man is being tried for murder, and in favor of the reporter, who points out that confidential notes of a reporter must remain confiden- tial or else the freedom of the press is affected. The uproar over the im- prisonment of Farber and the fines levied against the Times occupied the headlines in New York until the headlines stop- ped appearing, Suddenly it became a matter not of a decline in the intensity of investigative journalism be- cause of the fear of prurient judicial intervention.

Still dnother objection, raised by Embree, concerned the failure of the site's developer to satisfy parking requirements under the city's rezoning bylaw. As Don Hall i d at the public hearing, the omission of 14 parking stalls from the development plans originally shown to the city resulted from a highways ministry requirement that . the is the most energetic and con- scientious of men (and a close personal friend) betrays that sense of resignation inherited from the superstitions of an age in which habits of mind were formed which survive as rank superstition. That mind-set holds that to sro a picket line argued y that the d of land can have a noticeable impact on mem- bers of a community, the city's building and rezoning criteria are not broad enough to dictate that those working on the project must be trade union members. But os for the remaining questions, perhaps council will have some answers by the time it meets next week to give the rezoning opplication final approval. developer give up a 30-foot strip of property for frontage. By far the most contentious of the objec- tions was to the developer's plans to award an open-shop on rather than closed-shop basis. Significantly, no council member denied the hazards posed by traffic congestion near the Kinnaird interchange. It was the urgency of the highways ministry finding a solution So, There, Naysayers (An editorial in the Victoria Daily Colonist.)
