...months British newsmen in the U.S. have simmered with distaste under such restraints. Last week, when they found it almost impossible to transmit to England any dispatch even hinting U.S. civilian distaste for the North African deal with Vichyite Admiral Jean François Darlan, they boiled over...
...harsh censorship came in mid-week when lanky, hard-working Alistair Cooke, now a U.S. citizen, correspondent for British Broadcasting Corp., London Times, and London Daily Herald, tried to send a dispatch to the Herald naming a few of the things correspondents had not been permitted to transmit.
