Foj the tirst time in the fifteen years of operation, the leased wire of the Associated Press from Laredo to Monterey and Mexico City was commandeered by the .Mexican government on the plea of military need, and the federal circuit manager in NetlVO Laredo was ordered to cut off the Laredo office of the Assoc iated Cress to prevent Information being gleaned from messages moving over the wire.
