48 percent of the stock of the
Schenectady Union Star.
Last .year, Rep. Don Ed.
'wards (D-Calif) warned Con-
gress of the manner in which
some radio - TV empires
owned by liig defense contrac-
tors were influencing the de-
fense budget. and the problem
of disarmament. He named
among others, the Radio Cor-
poration of -America, which
.owns and controls the National
.Broadcasting Company.
However, General Tire's pur-
chase of a large slice of the
.Schenectady Union Star is the
'first time, so far as is known,
that a big defense contractor
has also barged into the news-
paper business on top of a TV
empire.
In view of these facts,. and
the fact that Congress has no
check on the CIA, it is impor-
tant for the press to scrutinize
