Last year, the two drama jurors John Mason Brown, critic and author, and John Gassner, theater historian and critic- publicly because the advisory board on the prizes rejected their recommendation for Edward Albee's "'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and refrained from giving any drama award. It is up to the university's board of trustees to make final decisions. In 1962, the trustees turned down the advisory board's recommendation that the biography award go to w. A. Swanberg's "Citizen Hearst."

"A Pulitzer award is the most wonderful icing on the cake that I could said Malcolm W. Browne of the Associated Press. David Halberstam, New York Times reporter, said, "I'm delighted on behalf of all that small band of reporters (in South Viet Nam) who worked so hard under such difficult conditions." The award to Browne was the nineteenth Pulitzer Prize won by the Associated Press in news and photography over the years. The New York Times has won 29 Pulitzer Prizes, four citations and one commendation. Halberstam, in deference to Browne's seniority in age, (he is 29 years old and Browne 32) phoned his congratulations to Browne at the AP foreign desk.

Browne, who trained as chemist but found himself increasingly drawn to journalism, has won five other awards for his work in South Viet Nam, including the World Press Photo award at The Hague. This was for his famed picture of a monk who set himself afire in a protest suicide and focused world attention on the Viet Nam situation.

Faced with a long delay in sending the story of the sudden resignation of Foreign Minister Vu Van Mau last August, Browne pasted the basic facts of the story to a news photograph being transmitted by radio and the news was in New York in eight minutes. While covering a Buddhist religious ceremony last July, Browne and another Associated Press reporter, Peter Arnett, a New Zealander, were assaulted by Viet Namese plainclothes agents. Browne said he was hit by a rock held in the clenched fist of one of the agents.

The same blow smashed a camera around his neck. Arnett was thrown to the ground, pummeled and kicked. Halberstam was knocked unconscious on one occasion while trying to protect a television cameraman from police violence. Commenting on his Pulitzer award, Browne said "the greatest satisfaction that a reporter can have overseas is to know that an unfamiliar country, 000 miles from his home base, is attracting the interest of the American people at least, in part through his writing. "The issues that the free world faces in Viet Nam are the issues America will face for years to come throughout the underdeveloped parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America." He said it may take 20 years to win the struggle in Viet Nam, but that the new government has the political situation enough under control to devote its attention to the war.

The Diem regime, Browne said, had become so embroiled in its struggle to stay in power that it meant abandoning the war. Halberstam went to the Congo for the Times in 1961. He transferred to South Viet Nam in September, 1962. MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARD IN SELECTION OF PULITZER AWARDS on five juries for books and one jury each for a play, musical composition and critical writing fellowship. The jurors were invited to submit two to five recommendations.

But they were told that their recommendations were for the information and advice of the 14-member advisory board only, in line with the will of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the old New York World. There were 626 journalism entries, including 80 for public service, 53 for general local reporting and 114 for local investigative or other specialized reporting. The last was the redefined category; there were more entries in this class than in any journalism category except photography. The public service category had been revised to point up use of all "journalistic resources, which may include editorials, cartoons and photographs as well as reporting." There were 26 more entries in this category than a year ago. In other journalism categories, national reporting had 72 nominations; international reporting, 34; editorial writing, 90; cartoons, 85; photography, 95, and special citations, 3.

Among books, there was a record set for fiction entries, 95; history had 57; biography, 56; poetry, 36, and general nonfiction, 112. The drama jury saw more than 40 plays.

She edits and publishes four weekly newspapers with a combined circulation of 10,000. "I am much surprised and very happy," Mrs. Smith said yesterday on learning of the award. She described her feelings as a mixture of humility and pride.

The editorials that impressed the Pulitzer Prize committee were not always popular with some Mississippi residents in regard to race, citizens councils, governors and civil rights.

I don't feel like a girl having her first meaningful experience." He called the prize a dream. He works his writing in with his duties at the university campus at Berkeley. "I like teaching, but I keep my writing and my teaching separate," he said. "Teaching doesn't help me write. In teaching you are analyzing tearing apart; as a writer you are putting together."
