DESCRIPTION

Original summary excerpt: The tendency of editors generally to select those wire service dispatches which would be likely to generate hostile public attitudes was particularly evident this week, which can be considered one of the worst for WRA from a press relations standpoint since the Press Review was started. Forty-three papers printed an AP wire in which Senator Robertson was reported to have warned the Senate that the American public would no longer countenance "pampering" of "disloyal Japanese"; thirty-eight papers used an AP release on Senator Chandler's recommendations which called centers "trouble breeders" in the lead paragraph. In contrast, only eighteen papers published AP's wire based on an OWI release reviewing the progress of relocation.
