Meantime all Detroit has asked, "Who is Nancy Brown?" Years ago the News's editors concluded that the best way to build up their columnist as a circulation-puller was to make a mystery of her identity. They have continued to whet Detroit's curiosity by creating around Nancy Brown's real name as titillating a hocus-pocus as that which made the reputations of The Man in the Iron Mask and radio's Your Lover. At her parties and religious services she mingles anonymously with the crowd. Only a few of her Column Folks have...
Wrote United Feature's tart, smart Columnist Westbrook Pegler few weeks ago: "There is something very imprudent not to say brutal about the record of the Roosevelt boys who have figured in traffic cases. Here is a country with an annual death list of 39,000 in automobile accidents trying earnestly to bring the figures down, and here are the sons of the No. 1 Citizen earning a joint reputation as the reckless irresponsibles of the open road who don't give a damn what they do because their daddy will fix it up.

Mr. Hutton's slave quarters in Palm Beach might be called a model cabin. His 16,000-acre patch in South Carolina...
Howard Vincent O'Brien, columnist of Publisher William Franklin Knox's Chicago Daily News, printed the following opinion of his boss as a Republican candidate for President: "He believes sincerely that, as President, he could alter the course of Government. I do not. I believe that, when put to the test of use, Mr. Knox's platform would remain as shiny and unmarred as the Democratic platform has been. I believe that a new hat on the White House hatrack will change the flow of events little more than a new president of Tel. & Tel. would affect...
