CBS Demands Return
of Correspondent's
Credentials by Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)—The presi-
dent of the Columbia Broadcasting,
System demanded the immediate
restoration by Israel of the ac-
creditation of its Jerusalem corres-
pondent, Antsony Hatch.
His credentials were withdrawn
by the Israel government press of-
fice for an alleged "most serious
contravention of censorship" and
breach of military security in con-
nection with his reports of Is-
rael's 10-hour raid on Egyptian
positions on the Gulf of Suez.
CBS-head Richard Salent said
in a telegram to Israel Informa-
tion Minister Israel Galili that
the correspondent's credentials
must be restored "in the interest
of world wide freedom of infor-
mation." He added that details
of the Israeli raid were "gener-
al information" in Israel at the
time the correspondent report-

Y
ed ork tbein
The press office had claimed
e
that the
corr spondent released
the story two hours before its of-
ficial announcement, a period dur-
ing which it was embargoed.
Hatch's "scoop" touched off glo-
bal reports/that Israel had invaded
Egypt and sparked a new Mid
East war.
