others furnish news during hours
in which member newspapers in

Others supply news over week ends,

Its report continued:
"The events that reflect this
time of conflict are highly charged
with passion and partisanship. In
reporting them, and especially in
the effort to explain and interpret
them, the Associated Press in
evitably is subjected to the pres
sures and tensions inherent in
the events themselves. This fact
has been, and is, apparent to
every member of the staff. 1t i'm

honesty, objectivity and high

it had before World War II and is
