Familiar to many a U. S. newspaper reader is the late Heywood Broun's annual Christmas fable (see p. 35). New York commuters know well the editorial, "Is There A Santa Claus?," which the New York Sun has run at Christmas for 42 years (see p. 47). This week, the Chicago Daily News prints a cartoon (first published in 1934) which is on its way to like renown (see cut). The cartoonist: Vaughn Richard Shoemaker,* Chicago political satirist (famed for his mousy little character, "John Q. Public") and an ardent Christian...
...past two years, Tennist Don Budge has been chosen as the No. 1 athlete of the U. S. In 1936 it was Sprinter Jesse Owens; in 1935 it was Boxer Joe Louis. Last week the 60 U.

To the World-Telegram, a few days earlier than usual, he sent his annual Christmas parable about the two old kings and the young wise man. (His great & good friend, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, once read it at a Christmas ceremony in Washington.) For the Post he wrote but one column...
...Orleans Times-Picayune (109,825), almost lived up to its slogan: "The Journal Covers Dixie Like the Dew." Atlanta newsmen used to wisecrack: "Yeah, it's all wet!" For the Journal had grown fat and stodgy; its editorial stand was typified by an annual piece called March Comes in A-Blowin...
