{"value"=>"<p>Includes material about the State Department's programs to transmit news and opinion about the United States to Europe to promote international understanding. The papers deal chiefly with the efficacy of the Voice of America and the NYT surveys of it (1950-1953), the use of foreign aid funds to defray the cost of distributing certain U. S. periodicals, including the NYT, abroad (1948-1951, 1957), the controversy over the Associated Press' refusal to make its service available to the Government for transmission abroad, and the refusal being based on the principle that any news service may be compromised if it lends itself to a government propaganda agency for dissemination (1946).</p>"}
