While the home life of "Babs" Hutton made tabloid headlines last week (see p. 16) the genus U. S. Society Girl made another kind of copy. At University of Chicago, sober, 25-year-old Mary Elaine Ogden, no Social Registerite, submitted a learned master's thesis: The Social Orientation of the Society Girl.

...nine years, Publisher Samuel Emory Thomason of Chicago's tabloid Daily Times (p.m.) was Vice-President and Business Manager of the Chicago Tribune (a.m.), published by his Northwestern Law School classmate and former law partner, Robert Rutherford McCormick. The Daily Times is the closest imitation in U. S. journalism of New York's tabloid Daily News, published by ''Bertie'' Mc-Cormick's cousin, Joseph Medill Patterson.* The Chicago Times, like the New York Daily News, is a gay and vigorous supporter of the New Deal. Nothing delights the Times more than baiting solemn...
