Hagerty has admitted he has on occasion leaked exclusive information to individual reporters As signed to cover president Eisen Hower. He said that he regarded such information coming from him As background rather than a news leak. It is a news leak when it comes from some other source in Washington he said but from him it is strictly background that a the Way it s applied he said at least in the newspaper business Here in  Hagerty was ased about news leaks during an appearance on Small world a program con ducted by Edward r. Murrow. Also on the filmed and recorded tvs How were French information minister Jacques Soustelle an British journalist Malcolm Mug Geridge. Hagerty concurs the question of news leaks was posed by Murrow. He asked if it was True that occasionally special information is Given to favorite correspondents As was the Case when the Yalta conference paper were made Public. I can Tell you that the leaks Are quite Likely to happen without me taking any part in it sous Telle  this Hagerty added i assure you or. Soustelle that there is no difference Between Paris and Washington on  Muggeridge then asked or. Hagerty can you say with your hand on your heart that you never deliberately arranged a leak of course i can to and i would Thi Gerty replied. He then defined a news leak. I will define the word leak for the purpose of discussion of a publication of stories that come from some source in government Many sources in government that add some More Gray hairs to my head Hagerty , that that is a leak where where people within their government talk to a favorite re Porter or or members of the Congress or or or somebody along that  asked Hagerty about the news leak that give you Black hairs. I mean in other words the leaks you  background Well now i would not Call those leaks Hagerty said. I Call them background stories and i deliberately. Soustelle interrupted to say of that s a Good  a a. In other words when you leak it s a Back ground Story and when someone else does it it s a  Hagerty Well that s the Way it s applied at least in the news paper business Here in Wash in g a of 1 per cent than the com Merce labor forecast made in no vember a year  departments said their Esti mate of a $3.5-billion increase in 1959 assumes that a Rise in National production will continue with credit adequate for construction generally but growing tighter for residential building. Nevertheless housing and Road building will account for about four fifths of the 1959 gain in construction. Factory building on the other hand will be Down 15 per cent contributing to a 3 per cent decline in total private nonresidential construction. The forecast said his anticipated downturn reflects the postpone ment and cancellation of new Plant projects by Many companies Dur ing the recession of the past year. Some upturn in new factory projects is expected in 1959, but not enough to offset the downward trend of total Plant construction  on commercial Type buildings will increase to match the 1956 record of $3.6 billion Al though outlays for office buildings and warehouses will dip 5 per cent. Spending on new stores and shop Ping centers restaurants and garages will Rise 10 per  Aid Well Over half an estimated $2.1 billion Advance in Public construction outlays will be financed bythe Federal government and one third of the increase will be for  Federal state and local Toi,."

He natural enemies told Soustelle when you come out of a Cabinet meeting. You come out with the idea of presenting in the most favourable possible Light what happened in that meeting. But of course this is neither news nor is  Muggeridge said information officers and people who convey government policies Are my natural enemies. They Are the Nat ural enemies of any journalist who is flying the Skull and  Hagerty objected i Don t think we should be put exactly in the category that you put us in. I do think that we serve a useful Pur pose to the news Media of our  government outlays will reach record $17.1 billion. Outlays for schools will show Only a Small gain but should reach$3 billion for the first Lime. Spend ing for Public hospitals will climb 19 per cent and construction of government buildings will Rise 42per cent.
