    Pulitzer, grandson of the publisher who established the prizes, protested last week over the Advisory Board's action in bypassing the four-to-one vote of the jury international reporting and naming John Hughes of the Christian Science Monitor as the winner in favor of Harrison E. Salisbury of the New York Times.
Hughes was awarded the prize for his dispatches from Indonesia; Salisbury filed the first stories from inside North Vietnam.
