PRESSMEN PROTEST
8.8. C. GIVEN NEWS BREAK DELAY OF""il HOURS (11 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 4. British and American correspondents are strongly protesting to Supreme Allied Headquarters because the 8.8. C. was permitted to broadcast the first announcement of the First Army’s new attack in the 1 p.m. news bulletin to-day, whereas Supreme Allied Headquarters did not release the news to correspondents until ■ after midnight, meaning that the attack was then under way for at least 11 hours. Immediately after the 8.8. C. announcement, the correspondents protested, only to be told that they could quote the 8.8. C. but not Supreme Allied Headquarters for the news.
