...Love & Kisses." These record flights, and the whole birthday program, were a masterful stroke of publicity for the Corps. Ably assisting in the stroke was Lauren ("Deac") Lyman, oldtime New York Times air correspondent who now works for United Aircraft, good friend of Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Newsmen still found lacking, however, publicity for one phase of Air Corps activity more dramatic than any other. Lest it seem too warlike, the Corps is not allowed by the War Department to publicize the extreme accuracy which its bombers have attained. They now can guarantee to smack their targets as precisely from...
Like its 22 sister papers of the lively, crusading Scripps-Howard chain, the New York World-Telegram (circulation: 395,000) has plugged for Franklin Roosevelt with friendly reporting, vigorous if unin spired editorials from the Washington bureau headed by George B. ("Deac") Parker. High point of Scripps-Howard editorializing came last fortnight in a glowing confession of faith which blurted: "Speaking generally, we are for Roosevelt for the same reason we think we would have been for Jefferson or Jackson or Lincoln had we lived in their day."

Reporting. Best reporting job the Pulitzer judges spotted this year was turned in by spectacled Lauren D. ("Deac") Lyman of the New York Times, who learned of the Lindberghs' flight to England, kept it a secret four days, scooped the country after they put to sea (TIME, Jan. 6).

Reporter Lyman is $1,000 richer for his pains...

It was written by bespectacled Lauren D. ("Deac") Lyman, who as the Times' aviation editor befriended obscure young Aviator Lindbergh before his flight to Paris in 1927. Throughout the week Reporter Lyman stoutly refused to reveal the source of his scoop. But Colonel Lindbergh's hatred of certain sensational newspapers, and his corresponding affection...
...story RCA Building for a bargain-driving tenant. National Broadcasting Co. With everything in readiness despite a last-minute flurry of confusion, one rainy night last week NBC dedicated its new quarters with a gala program. Bland words were spoken by NBC's President Merlin Hall ("Deac") Aylesworth, RCA's Board Chairman James Guthrie Harbord, GE's Board Chairman Owen D. Young, RCA's President David Sarnoff (speaking from London) and Sir John Reith, director-general of British Broadcasting Corp. with whom the tycoons chatted across the sea. Some 1,200 invited guests, mostly radio advertisers...
