...defense contracting industrialists go over, under and around him in their efforts to tell the U.S. defense story. All of this dismayed Congressman John E. Moss's Subcommittee on Government Information. A repeated witness before this and the House Armed Services Committee, Snyder has been accused of "capricious censorship" and of a tendency to suppress information not only for security con siderations but for reasons of "policy" and even of "timeliness...
