John J. Sack '51, the paper's new Radcliffe Bureau Chief, said this was a basic issue. "If Congress granted permission to have stories written about it, or if the White House did, this would be a violent denial of freedom of the press" he said.

Miss Small replied that "White House reporters are responsible to the White House."

"I'm afraid that isn't true," Sack said.

"Reporters are responsible to their papers," Small answered. "The papers are responsible to the White House, and if they weren't they wouldn't be reporters for long."

At this point, before any council members had asked questions Dean Small roso and said, "I think that the (closed) discussion with the Student Council will prove more fruitful." She left the room.

Most Student Council members were surprised at Miss Small's sudden withdrawal. President Betty K. Heaton '51 said, "We don't know why she did it."

"Untrue Reports"

On the matter of expulsion, a member of the CRIMSON then charged that Dean Small and Publicity Director Joan Projansky '49 had given untrue reports to the newspapers. He read this excerpt from yesterday's New York Times: "A Radcliffe spokesman . . . added that Miss Labenow had not been threatened with expusion."

He also read the following statement, given to the CRIMSON yesterday by John Fenton, by-lined reporter for the Times:

"I called her (Miss Projansky) and asked her for a fill-in on the story. . . . And then, as we were winding up the conversation, she said, 'I'd like to make a correction to what appeared in today's papers.' She didn't say what papers.

"'Miss Labenow was not threatened with expulsion.' I didn't ask the question; she volunteered it."

Dean Small also stated that Miss Labenow had broken release dates, although, she said, "I don't have any examples with me." Miss Labenow quickly retorted, "This is not true. I have never broken a release date."

Andrew E. Norman '51, managing editor of the CRIMSON, stated that Miss Labenow had never broken a release for the CRIMSON and asked Dean Small to give an instance. "I have not dealt with the CRIMSON in any other year," Small said. "But she did break them."

After the meeting, Miss Projansky told the CRIMSON that "as long as I have been publicity director, Debby has never broken a release." Miss Projansky has been director since September
