REPORTERS FOR CHINA
Agency Protests At U.S. Ban (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 22. The board of directors of the Associated Press said today that qualified United States correspondents should be allowed to report first hand from Communist China. Commenting on the State Department’s refusal to permit United States correspondents to travel to Communist China, the board told the annual meeting of the members of the Associated Press: “The most noticeable gap in our coverage, and one that has caused much controversy, is Communist China. “We were invited by the Chinese, along with others, to send a reporter into the country. The United States Department of State refused permission and threatened serious sanctions. “The Associated Press disagreed with the Government’s action and the board at this time states again that it believes qualified newsmen should be allowed to report first hand from the mainland of China.” Other United States news agencies have also expressed disagreement with the State Department ban.
