...They Say, a yellow-jacketed, staff-written journal of opinion featuring "the views ... of the audience rather than the orator, of the pews rather than the pulpit." Publisher Herbert Hungerford, 62, onetime American News Co. executive, editor a generation ago of Success, and Editor Ross Duff Whytock, 48, former newshawk for the New York Evening World, hoped to secure their readers' views by offering good pay for good letters...
...already Justice Roberts was getting into the case of Newshawk Morris Watson, discharged by the Associated Press for union activity. Presently it appeared that Newshawk Watson had won because AP was engaged in interstate commerce and collective bargaining did not interfere with the Constitutional Freedom of the Press.

But the major question of whether the Act was valid for ordinary industries was not settled, nor was it settled by the next case. This time Mr. Roberts read again, a unanimous decision, ordering the Virginia...
...Muncie, Ind. last week went the Wall Street Journal's able young Cincinnati correspondent, Harlan V.

Ball . . . today confirmed the creation of the George & Frances Ball Foundation, charitable trust organized un der the laws of Indiana, and his donation to that foundation of his entire common stockholdings in Midamerica Corp." Directors were Mr. Ball, three members of his family and President Lemuel Arthur Pittenger of Ball State Teachers College. Kept by Mr. Ball were 18,733 of 20,000 shares...
...Civil War. But what plain folks called it while it was going on, few Northerners or Southerners or historians can now tell convincingly. To roll back time 75 years is a trick only artists can perform. Evelyn Scott has had a good try. Last week Newshawk Royce Brier had another. A Pulitzer Prizeman (for his story of the Brooke Hart kidnappers, 1934). he went at his bigger story in first-rate newshawk fashion. 1937 readers of Boy in Blue may not get exactly the same news as 1863 readers of the Cincinnati Gazette but they will get an approximation...
