...really haven't got time for Congress." Good Business. Evie Gordon makes the rounds of up to two dozen cocktail parties and receptions a week, seldom takes notes but remembers what she sees or hears-and prints it on the theory that liveliness is more important than documented facts. "Rumors persist, though it seems improbable." she wrote recently, "that George Jessel will be the next envoy to Israel." On occasion, the rumors backfire. Once she made the mistake of crossing pens with Rival Columnist Austine ("Bootsie") Hearst of the Times-Herald, erroneously reported that Austine, six months after...
Married. Ruth McCormick ("Bazy") Miller, 30, niece of Colonel Robert R. ("Bertie") McCormick and editor of his Washington Times-Herald until she quit in a dispute over policy (TIME, April 16), and Garvin E. ("Tank") Tankersley, 39, former Times-Herald assistant managing editor who was first exiled to the Chicago Tribune, fired a couple of months later; both for the second time; at Al-Marah, Bazy's Montgomery County, Md. estate...
Complex Denial. The paper had also been smudged with bad publicity. Early last month. Columnist Drew Pearson charged, in a $3,100,000 damage suit, that the Times-Herald was in league with Wisconsin's Senator Joe McCarthy and others to ruin him (TIME, March 12).

...committee chiefly wanted to know about a four-page anti-Tydings tabloid which the Times-Herald had published to help Republican Candidate John Marshall Butler to victory. The tabloid ran a picture of an open-mouthed Communist Earl Browder standing close to Tydings, who was in a pose of thoughtful listening. The caption labeled the picture "composite" (i.e., two separate pictures pasted together), but at first glance it looked as if Tydings and Browder had actually posed together. The caption added that Tydings had said, "Oh, thank you, sir," after Browder's testimony in the Tydings committee...
Campus Cub. Daughter of a globetrotting businessman and a French mother, Marguerite Higgins was born in Hong Kong in 1920, got her schooling in France and the University of California ('41). During the summer after graduation, she cubbed for the Vallejo (Calif.) Times-Herald. While she worked for her master's degree at Columbia's School of Journalism, she landed her first Trib job as a campus correspondent, was taken on full time when she finished Columbia in 1942. She was sent to the London bureau in 1944, got to Germany in time to cover the closing...
