WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Ma

by members of the Associated Press

These charges, which may lead to

and members.
To the credit of American journal
ism, it should be said that the
doctoring of news by the Associated
Press to help the State Department
deceive the people was exposed by
q newspaper that is a member OF
that press association through its
honest Washington correspondent.
paul Y. Anderson, Washington
