...boast that he never asked an editor to print anything or to suppress anything (except once, when he asked that news of a huge donation to an endowment fund be withheld until other donations rolled in). News bulletins go out not under his name, but those of his clients. Sometimes he summons reporters to his office, gives them copies of a bulletin, elaborately invites further questions, rarely tells more than is in the written "handout."

Carey, last week resigned and was succeeded by onetime Yale Footballer John Kilpatrick-made a profit of $40,000 of which Mrs. William Randolph Hearst's Milk Fund got 25%. As usual, the Hearst papers earned the Milk Fund's share by giving the fight an enthusiastic ballyhoo.
