The United Press is rated above the Associated Press in "capacity and character." Richard V. Oulahan of the New York Times ("one of the few really distinguished looking men in Washington") is described as supplying his paper with "front" for $25,000 per year. The New York Herald Tribune's Washington news "is inclined to be sensational and trivial." Mark Sullivan has sunk into "a Republican propaganda medium." Clinton Wallace Gilbert "is one of the few nationally known Washington correspondents who has not compromised his personal or professional integrity, never fawned or groveled." The few other reporters who received praise—Messrs. Ross, Anderson, Pearson, Murphy et al.—are, by no great coincidence, members of the Georgetown Group.
