Fortnight ago, Bob Wagner's veteran slum-clearing measure came to bat for the third time. Backed by such assorted powers as President Roosevelt, the conservative New York Times and the tory New York Herald Tribune, the bill looked like a sure thing. Sponsor Wagner crowed: "There is practical unanimity throughout the country in favor of the measure. . . . There was practically no opposition to the bill in the hearings before the committee...
...with the London Morning Post. Oldest daily in the British Empire, it was established three years before the American Revolution. Coleridge, Lamb and Wordsworth were among its writers. Imperialist and conservative, it snorted bitterly against any change even in its own party. Alongside this crusty diehard, the New York Herald Tribune might easily be mistaken for the Communist Daily Worker. Sad was the day in plush British drawing rooms when the Morning Post began to limp.

...dailies. But it was one of the first British class papers to reduce its price (in 1930) from twopence to a penny to compete with the popular press.

She is no political ax-grinder, either for or against the New Deal, though personally she leans more toward the liberalism of her brother, Joe, than toward...
Meanwhile, Guild members were boring from within. Pundit Walter Lippmann, New York Herald Tribune columnist, wrote a letter to the Guild refusing to pay his dues because he would not commit himself to political opinions adopted by them. New York Guild Secretary Milton Kaufman attempted to straighten him out with the assurance that "individual members of the Guild are no more committed to resolutions of this character than are editorial employes of the Herald Tribune committed to the editorial policy" of that paper. In Seattle 40 Guild members on the Post-Intelligencer, whose publisher is President Roosevelt...
