There are many ‘ways of doing it, but ‘here’s an example from Ned Brunson Harris, one of the few women to have - headed a metropolitan paper’s Washington bureau. 5 Ned had been tipped to a news bomb by a grouchy Senator who swore her to secrecy. Then a Rep- resentative called to tell her the same story, She played dead pan to the second call. Then the Representative told the Senator he'd talked with Ned. The Senator hit the ceiling with “So! She talked” “Talked? Did she know about it before I talked to her? She didn't say so.” The Senator Chuckled, phoned Ned: “You're one woman who can keep a secret” And he fol- lowed through with many valu- able tips. There are about 150 women re-| porters in this town—from young college graduates to frail Maudie McDougal of the Philadelphia Rec- ord, who looks the grandmother but won't tell her age. Some barely exist on gossip letters to home town papers. But some get around in chauffeur driven cars. « Many are “ex’s”, having shifted Told by One of Thenj_ Ito publicity jobs, and most ‘ef those are with the government. Often they shift because of the | one real handicap which Washing- ton women reporters meet, in com- mon . with sisters in.othex gities. Bditors still- assign the real news stories to men, and request the women to come back with some bright guff about what Mrs. Roose- velt wore. Some few have taken that hurdfe. and none more spectacularly than explosive, little Doris Fleeson of the New York Daily News, who made it 100 percent newspaper by marrying reporter John O'Donngll, also of the News. ¥ Doris is the only woman whouis assigned to presidential train t as a straight news reporter. e has gone so many times that evgn | tiny Doris, five years old, has prp- tested. | (Tomorrow: The Woman's Ant‘) % c; NINE-HOUR DAY * # McCOMB, Miss., Sept. 4. — The swapover to daylight time in psrt of Pike County, while the rest stays on standard, has County Agent Jim Harrison behind eight-ball.
