While filling in for Columnist Bennett Cerf in the Saturday Review, Novelist Laura (Gentleman's Agreement) Hobson discovered that she "adored having a column." Writer Hobson confessed her new passion to the editor of Hearst's Good Housekeeping, who signed her to do nine columns a year. When Columnist Inez Robb of Hearst's International News Service left, by mutual consent, to join Scripps-Howard and United Feature syndicate a fortnight ago, I.N.S. knew just where to turn. Beginning next week, Laura Hobson will do five columns a week for I.N.S. and its clients, titled "Assignment America...

Goaded into producing their own exclusive by the Chronicle's beat, the Examiner and Call-Bulletin feverishly set out to try to solve another in the series of murders, the killing of a grocer and three children in a $7,000 payroll robbery. Hearst men got the four-year-old daughter of the grocer, the only survivor, to identify the killer as one of the Santo gang. Then the Chronicle went to work and proved the identification a fake. The Hearstlings had shown the girl the picture with the lower half of his face covered, and under such circumstances...
