Dark, undapper Frederick Robert Kuh (pronounced coo) last week could stick another large feather in his old beret. As he pedaled his creaky bicycle down to London's Whitehall he could expand his slight chest over the almost unanimous judgment of his colleagues: Freddie Kuh is the best U.S. foreign correspondent...
Marshall Field's quiet Chicago Sun and shrill New York PM were cooing over another London scoop: Kuh had cabled the story of Bulgaria's peace terms a good twelve hours before his competitors came across the story. It is beginning to be news when Kuh is not ahead of a major European story by hours, if not by days.

From London, Correspondent Frederick Kuh of the Chicago Sun cabled a plausible outline for such an Axis proposal: "Italy has intimated reluctance to conclude a separate peace and is urging a general peace settlement which will include Germany. ... The Italian suggestion has been made through Turkey. The feeler is reported to have come directly from Foreign Minister Guariglia. Germany's Papan is busy in Ankara . . . insinuating to anyone willing to listen that if the United Nations...
