Manhattan newspaper offices for the last three weeks have buzzed about a Hearst "raid" on feature writers of the Scripps-Howard World-Telegram. Over to Hearst went Fashion Writer Prunella Wood and Shopping Colyumist Alice Hughes. Last week it became known that Heywood Broun had received a Hearst offer, turned it down.

...this juicy invitation was neither cooing Dorothy Dix nor mooing Heywood Broun. It was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, first lady of the land, opening a Questions & Answers department for Woman's Home Companion. Crowell Publishing Co. will pay her $1,000 per month (estimated) for twelve months. Colyumist Roosevelt assured her readers that Woman's Home Companion Editor Gertrude B. Lane had "given me this page to do with exactly as I will...
