...alive. The squabble between newspapers and radio began in earnest last summer when Columbia started its own news-gathering bureau. In two months Paul White, onetime United Pressman, had organized a staff of 600 correspondents. Columbia's News Service was successful but NBC, whose President Aylesworth is a bosom crony of A. P.'s Kent Cooper, had not had time to project a similar bureau before newspapers began strenuously objecting to Columbia's.

She rewards her many admirers for her absence with some brilliant ballroom dancing, a cunning burlesque of Lynn Fontanne, a sprightly tap dance in which, surrounded by funnypaper characters, she takes Skippy to her bosom, departs hand in hand with Mickey Mouse. At one point Miss Broderick tunefully predicts: "Uncle Sam will be in Heaven when the dollar goes to Hell.'' Even then As Thousands Cheer should still be making money...
