LIBEL DEFENDANT TESTIFIES

Author: (AP)

Date: Thursday, September 13, 1984

Section: RUN OF PAPER

A journalist who wrote an article comparing William Shockley's voluntary sterilization plan to Nazi genetics, testified yesterday that he believed Shockley's only objection to the German experiments was their focus on Jews. The journalist, Roger Witherspoon, wrote the article in 1980 for the Atlanta Constitution, and Shockley, who won a Nobel prize for his work with transistors, filed a $1.25 million federal libel suit against Witherspoon and Cox Enterprises Inc., which publishes the newspaper, protesting the comparison between his proposals and Nazi experiments.
