Baton Rouge, La., Dec. 4--The "inside story" of how Senator Huey Long censored and suppressed Louisiana State University's student newspaper "Reveille," was broadcast today by angered journalism students in the form of affidavits, signed before a notary public.
J. H. Cutrer, who was forced to resign as editor, said Dr. James M. Smith, University president, "told me he would not do anything to offend Senator Long; that he would rather fire me, my staff, destroy the School of Journalism, and fire 4,000 students."
Other affidavits said University officials told students "these are abnormal times," in asking them to submit the "Reveille" to censorship, and that Dr. Smith told them "Senator Long is virtually dictator of the University."
