First indication of the change came soon after the Wall Street Crash, when Pub lisher Patterson walked into the city room and announced: "We're off on the wrong foot. The people's major interest is in how they're going to eat." On March 6, 1933 the News announced: "This newspaper now pledges itself to support the policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt for a period of at least one year." Not only did the News support the New Deal, but it devoted itself wholeheartedly to selling it to the people. Joe Patterson became...
Another newsman heard of the impending death. Robert Worth Bingham, pub lisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times, had flown to Tucson from Atlanta a few days before because his long ailing stepdaughter, Alice Hilliard, 25, had an attack of pneumonia there. She was using one of the tents which young Levings needed. When she heard the news she insisted her tent be sent over to St. Mary's.

...their bons mots and their ridiculous but engaging selfimportance. The scatter-brained youth meets a girl on the train who falls in love with him. He re-turns to her after adventures in Tin Pan Alley. These include advances made by the cold-hearted mistress of a music pub- lisher, committing malapropisms which cause him to be the butt of Broadway tune-sharpers. Finally he gets $2.500 for a song, because he has given the publisher a good excuse for getting rid of his girl. Jack Oakie makes the talkie almost as funny as the play by Ring Lardner...
