Weapons include sheets of paper and typewriters. In December 1943, Davis formally protested to Bracken that the Reuters News Agency had prematurely published information about the Cairo meeting of Roosevelt, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-shek. Davis also pledged action to prevent the American press from being scooped in the future. |
