Abstract
Description
Enclosing article from N.Y. Times of June 22 on brutality in Austrian jails; article, by [George E. R.] Gedye, gives completely wrong impression; Gedye, an Englishman and a Socialist, on the whole a good correspondent, but inclined to let political convictions color his reports; Gedye recently thrown out of Yugoslavia because of unfair reports on last election there, and is fast becoming persona non grata in Austria; spoke to [Edwin Leland] James, Managing Editor of Times, about Gedye while in U.S. on leave; James said he would ask [Frederick T.] Birchall, principal N.Y. Times correspondent in Europe, to talk to Gedye; personal relations with Gedye pleasant, but he will find himself in trouble if he continues his unobjective reporting.
