pecial Awards and Citations

**Cyrus L. Sulzberger of "The New York Times" for his exclusive interview with Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac.
*Journalism:
**The Advisory Board on the Pulitzer Prizes as a policy does not make any award to an individual member of the Board. In 1951, the Board decided that the outstanding instance of National Reporting done in 1950 was the exclusive interview with President Truman obtained by Arthur Krock of The New York Times, while Mr. Krock was a Board member. The Board therefore made no award in the National Reporting category.
