James Keen, 26-year-old photographer for the Associated Press, has a reputation for always striving for the unusual. Assigned to cover the Ohio-Mississippi flood last January, he spied a refugee Arkansas mother suckling her baby in a relief station, took a human interest picture called "Lowland Madonna" which won him wide praise and Editor & Publisher honors.

Apologizing handsomely, Editor & Publisher moved J. P. Morgan Listens up into first place and named two others for second and third. These...
...Benito Mussolini in Rome last week flashed a report from Addis Ababa. Italy's active Viceroy of Ethiopia, Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, reported he had just made a swing around recently-conquered Southern Ethiopia with a guard of 50, received without incident the homage of thousands of lowland Ethiopians who traditionally hate the highlanders of whom Haile Selassie...
