General Mo-, tors on the initial show Wednesday. Miss Rountree, in a telegram to Editor & Publisher Magazine, leferred to. criticism some newspapers directed at Brownell after liis appearance on the show. The program has a commercial sponsor? Brownell? who had not held a news conference in his office since last October, opened the program by voluntarily announcing the GM anti-trust action. He later was questioned by a panel ot reporters. The New York Tjmes questioned whether it was “proper for an official to withhold, until it can bennefit and extend the future audience of a sponsored program, a news announcement of such impact that it is sure to make page 1.” The New York Daily News, which called Brownell's announcement, a “simple minded stunt,” said “government news is, or ought to be, public property as fast as it breaks.” Several other newspapers made similar editorial comments. Miss Rountree, asking "What’s all the shouting about?” said the program was designed to give the public a picture of top newsmen at work. She said the official to be interviewed is not required to “open the show by announcing a news story not previously revealed.” t,.
