Would he have been so tolerant of a police spy at any OTHER kind of a press con- ference? Police state methods have crept up on the press so stealth- fly that they do not yet realize what surveillance or invasion of privacy looks and sounds like, Even the open and special atten- thon belng given the press with thelr billy clubs was not plain enough for this TV newsman to rid himsei? of the no!onthat"H's & free country* and ihe potice spy had as much right to be present as working press! So why should anyone be as- tonished that Daley had only to open his yap and cry press cov- erace discrimination by the media and 100 TV and athousand radio stations were famediately at his disposal, The aotworks would have been at his disposal too, if he hadn't put on a Dictator _——— ee DeGaulle act and insisted on do- Ing a prima donna solo on prime time without any questions from the newsmen, Maybe, too, they figured that he had elreedyhrd -- — - HOURS of prime itme on their networks with the show he and his cons put on in the convention hall end on the streets of Chicego, So he gets his prime tme coverage anyway, on a bigger geate than any of the candidales for President, and what do his bright boys do with it? They start right in with a title: “What Trees Do They Plant?” Pm waiting now to see Which of the Great Wits on the network newscasts is the first to point out thea chyious bloonar- frerae APA Rat Me et ree lee that the first thing the title ofthe documentary calls to mind Is MAYOR DALEY'S PHONY POT- TED TREES ON THE STREETS LEADING TO CONVENTION HALL, which national television and radio described and pletured | so prominently and which, at the start--before the not-so-funny mayhem began— made Daley the lauzhing stock of the world, What Tract On Thov Blant? Waning See aw FS SMR BRE, trees, lynch trees—-that was the kind of trees Pigface Daley and hits killer-cops planted in Chica- £0.
