...Klein who worked 21 years in the business departments of New York dailies, was discharged more than a year ago from Paul Block's Brooklyn Standard Union. He took his plan to William Randolph Hearst Jr. who donated free office space in the old Mirror building and underwrote the printing bill for the first issue. His sponsorship was tentative, conditional upon the tone of the first issue, viz: he would countenance no panhandling. Editor is Edward A.

...COLUMNIST MURDER-Lawrence Saunders-Farrar & Rinehart ($2).- No one has yet shot smooth-haired, Gossip-Monger Walter Winchell (New York Mirror's "On Broadway") though Zit's Theatrical Newspaper hinted more than six months ago he would be killed within six months (TIME, Nov. 3). Author "Lawrence Saunders" (Burton Davis) calls the victim of his murder-story "Tommy Twitchell," has him shot in a theatre telephone booth during a first-night performance, proceeds with his unraveling tale in a style that owes much to his hero's prototype. As a murder story The Columnist Murder...
