When she NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP) R. John Hughes of the Christian Scieiv Monitor won the 1967 Pulitzer Prize Monday for international reporting on the Indonesian crisis despite a jury panel choice of Harrison Salis bury of the New York Times for his dispatches from North Viet nam.

The original selection by the panel on international report-ing was for Salisbury's dispatches from North Vietnam by a vote of 4-1. However, Salisbury's failure to give the sources of casualty figures he cited from Hanoi re portedly led the Pulitzer Prize advisory board to overrule the jury. In turn, the trustees of Columbia University upheld the advisory board. "Above the Pulitzers" Salisbury, who won a Pulitzer Prize in the same category in 1955, said, "I guess my only comment is that I put the opinion of the editors of the Times above any jurors. If the Times thinks my stuff is good, I put that above the Pulitzers or anything else.

"You can interpret that any way you like. "I don't feel one way or another about it. I got my recognition when the Times sent me over there and printed my stuff." There was no immediate comment from Hughes. The dispute over the international reporting award held up announcement of the Pulitzer Prizes for nearly 90 minutes. The award for news photography went to Jack R.

Thor- nell of the Associated Press for his picture of the shooting of James H. Meredith during a civil rights march through Mis sissippi. Albee's Play Edward Albee's play, "A Del icate Balance," won the drama award, the first in that category since 1965. The play deals with a middle-aged couple whose lives are upset by fearful friends and maladjusted neigh bors. The fiction prize was won by Bernard Malamud for "The Fixer," a story of a Jewish handyman falsely accused of the ritual murder of a Russian boy.

Based on a historical case, it also won the National Book Award in March. The Milwaukee Journal shared the prize for meritorious public service by a newspaper. It was cited for "its successful campaign to stiffen the laws against water pollution in Wisconsin." Sharing honors with the Journal was the Louisville Courier- Journal "for its successful cam paign to control the Kentucky strip mine industry, a notable advance in the national effort for the conservation of natural resources." The two newspapers each re ceived the gold medal emblematic of journalistic merit. Journalistic prizes are $1,000, while those in the arts and letters are $500 each. Since 1917 The Pulitzer Prizes were established at Columbia Univer sity by publisher Joseph Pulitz er, who died in 1911.

They have been awarded since 1917 by trustees of Columbia, upon recommendation of the advisory board on the Pulitzer Prizes. The 1967 prize for local general reporting went to Robert V. Cox of the Chambersburg (Pa.) Britain Counters Its Brain Drain (t) New York Timet Newt Sarvlct LONDON, ENGLAND A program to counter the drain of British brains to the United States was announced Monday by the minister of technology, Anthony Wedgwood Benn. The aim is to recruit for jobs in British industry both British and American graduates of American universities, especial ly engineers, scientists and business school graduates. Recruiting offices will be set up in New York and London, and later in San Francisco and Toronto.

A consulting firm will operate them on a three-year government grant of $210,000. The brain drain to the United States has become a sore point in political discussion here, and even in social conversation. It is seen as an aggravating symbol of Britain's growing inferiority to the United States as an economic power. U.S. to Monitor Mississippi Votes WASHINGTON, D.C.

Pulitzer awards are made formally by the trustees of Columbia University, who have no power to reverse the advisory board, although they can advise the advisory board. Pulitzer was founder of the Post-Dispatch. In its report, the newspaper said the journalism jury's rec ommendation to the advisory board said that Salisbury's work showed "enterprise, world im pact and total significance that outweighs some demerits in on the-spot reporting." The jury's 4-1 recommenda tion was passed to the advisory board which met at Columbia University's conference center in Harriman, N.Y., Apr. 14. Argue at Length The board, the newspaper re ported, argued at length over the Salisbury award.

Those opposed to giving Salts-bury the award, the Post-Dis patch continued, put emphasis on the New York Times report er's failure to give the sources of his casualty figures in his early articles from the North Vietnam capital of Hanoi. Another accusation raised in the discussions, the paper said, was that Salisbury stated that the Defense Department failed to list the North Vietnamese town of Nam Dinh as a bombing target although it had been hit a number of times. The Defense Department showed that Nam Dinh had been listed as struck at least three times. When the board met on Apr. 15, the newspaper continued, Joseph Pulitzer, editor and publisher of the Post-Dispatch, asked for reconsideration of the previous day's decision by se cret ballot.

Eloquent Plea The report said he made what those present agree was an elo quent plea for preserving the integrity of the awards on their journalistic merit. After the secret ballot, the Post-Dispatch added, another secret ballot was taken and the vote stood as it had before, against Salisbury and for Hughes. Kerner Vetoes G.O.P.

EDWARD BERNARD ALBEE MALAMUD Do WolLr Will, a new SPRING STRAW JOHNSON CITES DISSENT RIGHT New York Timet News Strvict WASHINGTON, D.C. President Johnson Monday night defended the right to dissent and what he portrayed as the parallel right to answer.

Speaking to the 1967 White House Fellows and several other guests, Mr. Johnson declared that freedom of speech can never harm the nation "as long as we remember it is a two-way street." "Today's young people enjoy not only unparalleled ease and comfort but enormous freedom of inquiry, freedom of expression and, yes, freedom of dissent," he said. "That free spirit we need, too," he said, "for freedom of speech' can never harm us if we remember that freedom of speech is a two-way street. We must guard every man's right to speak, but we must defend every man's right to answer. "Your generation may feel a sense of outrage because it is inheriting a world with unsolved problems.

But we need that restless spirit. "It is the motive power be hind every forward step a man or a country makes. "There is only one catch: The sternest impatience, the greatest power of speech, the most noble outrage against injustice all will be only good inten tions unless Americans, young and old, involve themselves, unless they go into the field, unless they translate their best ideas into practical results.

Endicott told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that the rate was 112.5 per 100,000 population when the institute first was established in 1937, but now is 153. But there are some encouraging factors in a paradoxical situation, he added. "We are curing more cancer today than 30 years ago," Endicott said. "Around 1937 the ratio of patients who survived five years increased from fewer than one in five to one in four. Now, the ratio is one in three."
