Flying over Greensburg, Pa., en route to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Governor George Howard Earle suddenly shouted. "Look out; there comes another plane." His pilot swerved sharply upward, just in time to avoid a collision. For "covering" the Coronation of King George VI for Publisher J. David Stern (Philadelphia Record, New York Evening Post, etc.), Mrs. Huberta Potter Earle last week received $450, first money she ever earned, gave it to the Philadelphia Children's Heart Hospital...

Guffey, boss of Pennsylvania's Demo-cratic machine; David Leo Lawrence, a practical politician born in Pittsburgh's Old Point section down near the conflux of the Monongahela and the Allegheny; Julius David Stern, radical Jewish publisher of Philadelphia's Record.

The hull slipped smoothly down its chute, flopped into the water, stern first, with a loud splash, and ten minutes later workmen swarmed aboard Ranger, warped back to the dock, to step her 163-ft. duralumin mast...
Hired by Lennen & Mitchell to do the job for Lorillard was a firm called Publishers Service Co., Inc., previously employed by Publisher Julius David Stern to cook up rebus contests for his Philadelphia Record and New York Post. In the Post building on Manhattan's West Street, Publishers Service has barnlike offices furnished principally with a good set of dictionaries. Genius of the place is lanky, sandy-haired Frederick Gregory Hartswick, a Yale high-jumper of the class of 1914 who made puzzles a profession, ran the puzzle page on the old New York World and has been getting...
