Transradio, the press association of the air, is directed by ex-U. P. Man Herbert Samuel Moore from offices aptly located in a lofty Manhattan penthouse. There a staff of 40 work in three shifts, putting in terse, readable paragraphs the input of some 7,500 correspondents located all over the world. The result, 50,000 words a day, goes out by teletype to some 250 radio stations from Manila to Mozambique, to 40-odd newspapers from Alaska to London, and over short-wave to ships at sea, including J. P. Morgan's Corsair whenever she puts out. Acclaimed...
