Correspendents Recite Trials and Joys of “Covering” Capital. . (Continued From First Page.) They asked each other why it was that | the convention visitors appeared to bz | going about from place to place in groups of three. Finaliy one suggested that in each such group one was a delegate and the two others were boosters for ‘he nomination of Herbert Hoover. Shortly afterward, however, these two curious observers came together again, and one said to the other: “I have solved the mystery. One of the three is a delegate, but the other two are Associated Press reporters.” 1 do not vouch for the authenticity of this story, which was passed around in the newspaper fraternity during the | convention. In fact, I am sure there must have been a mistake, for the dele- gates numbered something over a thou- | sand, while the Associated Press re-! porters present numbered something under a hundred. But I repeat what was noised about because, without refer- ence to exact mathematics, it illustrates as well as anything could how a press association covers the news of Wash- ington. In oth:r words, the whole sccret lies in having an organization large enough and sharp-witted enough to have a reporter wherever any news may | develop. I Varied Reports. Therein lies the explanation of cer- fain things each of you can observe | about the daily newspaper which you may have laid aside a few minutes ago | to listen to the radio. If you will recall what that paper looked like in -detail. vou will remember that it contained dispafiches from Washington on a wide | variety of subjects. One dispatch may have discussed what the Government | proposes to do about limitation of naval armament; another may have recorded what a group of Senators, shut away in a committee room, are doing about the tariff; another may have come nearer home and dealt with plans for a new Federal building or candidates for post- master in your own city. 3 Nine out of every ten of these dis- patches probably came to you through the Washington bureau of a great country-wide press association. There was nothing haphazard about it. They came to you in such profusion and in such variety because the press asso- ciation maintains in Washington a far- flung. but very closely organized staff. whose business it is day in and day out to have reporters where news is likely to_develop. i You might easily suppose that in undertaking to fill so large an order in the country's greatest news center the Washington bureau of a press asso- ciation would be precisely in the position of the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. That in fact would be the case, were it not for the circumstance that modern-day methods “of organization have been applied with great vigor and great effect to a profession which in its carlier history was anything but orderly. Today the competent newspaper execu- tive, whatever else he may be, must be a competent organizer. He must know his men and must know where to put them. A Staff of 39. The Associated Press, of which I can speak with definiteness because I hap- pen to have had the privilege of serving it for upward of 20 years, maintains in Washington a staff of 39 editors and reporters. Their daily duties take them everywhere about the Capital City, and each knows what his duties and respon- sibilities are just as specifically as a sentry knows the boundaries of his post. They maintain communication with a central desk authority through a pri- vate telephone switchboard, with a score | of branches radiating out to Government departments. The reporters &t the ends of these branches are the fingertips of a highly sensitized system of communi- cation, which in the end gathers in for vyou readers of newspapers the day's har- vest of news about your Federal Govern- ment. You should not suppose that the in- troduction of discipline and compact organization has crowded out of the business of reporting the romance and the thrill of the days gone by. What could be more fascinating than to see with the naked eye the history of the United States Government in the mak- ing day by day, and to help in the task of recording that history for the people back home to whom the Government belongs? Even in these modern years when the tendency is toward the “for- mal announcemeat,” handed out to re- porters on neatly mimeographed sheets, there still remains a bountiful reward of adventure and of romance for the reporter who is willing to follow the ever-new trail of the pioneer, and make himself a prospector for news. Recently you have heard a great deal about the lack of secrecy in regard to se- cret sessions of the Senate. For years the newspapers have been printing in more or less detail what takes place behind those guarded doors. This has been true because Washington is full of pub- lic officials who are ready to impart by indirection news to which they think the public is entitled, but which for one official reason or‘another is held under the ban of a theoretical restraint, Tells of Denby Incident. ‘When President-elect Harding se- lected the late Edwin Denby to be his Secretary of the Navy, Denby was lit- tle known outside of his own communi- ty. Newspaper speculation never had mentioned his name. One day a close iriend of the President-elect told a newspaper man that a selection had been made, but that he felt he could not repeat the name given him by Harding. “But if you yourself were selecting a Secretary of the Navy,” asked the re- “what sort of man would you | I can only tell you,” was the reply, “that I would take him from the Great Lakes States; that I would like to have a former member of Congress and a former member of the House naval committee and a man who him- self had been in the Navy or Marine Corps.” ‘The newspaper mzn had his task cut out for him. He never had heard of Denby. But several hours’ work leafing the pages of "Who's Who" were re- warded with the discovery of one man who filled the specifications. He be- thought himself that he had seen some time before a cigar named for* Denby's father. He sought out the friend of the President and said to him: “Do you like the Denby cigar?” “Young man,” said the other, certainly is a most excellent ci don’t know how you thought of if You will observe that the mechanism for collecting news of this importance sometimes is as intricate as it is fascinating. But beyond that, im- portant news has a way of spread- THE SUNDAY STAR, \\’;&SHI.\'GTOX. D. C, AUGUST 4, 1929—PART 1. Left to right: Byron Price, head of the Washnigton Bureau of the Associated Press, and Robert Barry, correspondent of the New York Evening World. —Star Staff Photo. underwent a_course of treatment at a| Washington hospital. He made rather elaborate arrangements to insure that nothing be said about it in the news- papers. But within four hours after | he had entered the hospital every one in the hospital knew about it, and a newspaper man, visiting a friend who was ill there, quite naturally was greeted with the information that “there is a verv distinguished patient in ihe next room.” “Who is it?" asked the reporter, and the story was out. It is from all of these sources—from officials_speaking in their own right and officials speaking by indirection | what they think the people are entitled to know, despite all other considerations to the contrary; from formal written announcements and the verbal state- ments of Presidents, Secretaries, mem- | bers of Congress and the host of others | in offictal life: from the normal pro-| pensity of news to disseminate itself | naturally in a world where all of us are interested in how his fellow men | live—it is from these and many other | di sources that the press association ga ers in and transmits to the country's newspapers the story the day has told in Washington. But whatever the source, it must be an honorable source, and the methods of the reporter must | be honorable methods. In Washington the relations between officials and newspaper men are such that no eaves- dropper and no rifler of private corre- spondence would expect to escape im- | mediate ostracism and exposure. “Cover the Whole Town.” The press association tries to make the day's record of events as complete as the limited space of telegraph wires Will permit. Tts function, speaking in terms of the trade, is to “cover the whole fown® It occuples that field alone: no special correspondent, em- | ployed by one newspaper or one chain | of newspapers, endeavors to write ex- Cept upon special subjects. ‘ On their part, the special correspond- ents have occupied a splendid field of | their own In interpreting in editorial vein that particular portion of the day’s news which holds for the moment their particular interest. Among these spe- cial correspondgnts are many patriotic and capable men, keenly alive to what | {+ going on In Washington and fearless in their analysis of it One of lh"v’ most distinguished of these, Mr. Robert Barry, will speak to you in a moment | of that feature of newspaper work in Washington. The enormous part which the dis- | patches of press associations and spe- | Sial correspondents have come to play T the daily life of the Nation should induce every one of you to seek to know more and more about the mak- | ing of newspapers. Whether you realize | it or not, it is the Washington dis- | patches you read in your newspaper | Phat form the basis of what vou know | and what you think about your own American Government. Mr. Barry's speech in full is as fol- lows: There is only one thing of real im- portance in the profession of journal- ism. That is news. Everything else is secondary. That goes for the special correspondent in Washington as well as for the press association correspondent. Any one who tells you otherwise is tell- ing you something which is not true. The anonymous ,press association reporter who gets the news, who gets it first, who gets it accurately, is 2 person of far greater importance to American newspaper readers than the special writer who deals leisurely with the news, who esteems his personal opinions of the news above the news i Facts Are All-Important. A fact is of greater importance !hlil'li anybody's opinion of it. A statement by a President of the United States means more to the American_people than what a Mark Sullivan, a Richard Oulahan, a David Lawrence, a Fred Wile, a Byron Price or a Robert Barry thinks about what a Herbert Hoover thinks, Yet, back of it all there reposes.on the special correspondent in Washing- ton a civic and ethical responsibility which cannot be passed off lightly. On him rests the obligation to interpret the policies and the words and acts of men in Washington. He must interpret events, construe acts without impugning motives. Nothing in derogation of the present occupant of the White House couid be intended in-a reminder that there are newspaper men in Washing- ten who have been writing about news events since the administration of Gen. Harrison and Grover Cleveland. The comirfg and going of Presidents is rather a commonplace of Washington life. After all, you know, a President is just as much of a politician as a Congressman or a constable. Often he is just as_transparent in his politicak gestures. It is the function of the spe- cial correspondent to put them on the scales of his experience, to weigh them for what they are worth, A President, a Secretary of State or a Senator will issue a typewritten state- ment setting forth his opinion about some public question. Then he will call in a few of his personal friends among the newspaper men and tell them what ! he really had in his mind when he | issued that statement. The real job of | the special correspondent is-to decide whether he owes a greater loyalty to some friend enjoying temporary occu- pancy of the White House, the State Department or a Senate office than to the nswxplger public which reads and believes in him. ing of its own accord, de!?lu the best-laid plans to suppress it. You yourselves have observed that in your own communities. I remember hearing the late Tom Butler of Pennsylvania, for years head of the House nav: commif tell how a Navy De- partment official came to the Capitol one day just as the country was verg- ing toward war with Spain to ask very | associa secretly for committee approval of a large appropriation to buy powder. So confidential was the request that the doors of the committee room were se- curely locked, and even then the naval officer spoke in an undertone. When the meeting finally broke up, and the members filed out under the most bind- ing pledge to say nothing, the first man encountered by Butler -was a nswspa- per man, who greeted him thus: _" “Well, Mr. Butler, docs the admiral get his powder. or doesn’t he?” Quite “recently & very famous man al | respondent is to give the re: public something I think the latter deserves the first | ‘consideration. 1 Correspondent Must Analyze. ; The obligation of the special cor- | more than the state- rent history the floor of the Senate. [ t fails in his ty ! if he does not'analyze, interpret and, if need be, debunk the whole procsdure and disclose to his readers the fact that two Senators were engaged in a polit- ical set-to, and that that was all it really amounted to. Senators sometimes submit to subter- fuge. Cabinet officers connive at cheap deceptions. Presidsnts play polities. Whether these men be Democrats or Republicans, the American people have a right to see them in their proper focus, to know them for what they really are. It is the function of the pecial correspondent in Washington to convey the true picture, whether it be of friend or foe. If he fails to do 50, he must be venal or stupid, and I can forgive him only for the latter weakness. In the days of President Roosevelt a select group of newspaper co | respondents was called into the White House every now and then to hear | what the President had in his mind. His ideas were projected as “trial ba! loons If the popular reaction was favorable Col. Roosevelt adopted them as his own. If they fell flat he said he never heard of them and he left the newspaper men holding the bag. President Wilson surrounded himself with a small group of newspaper men, who printed as gospel his personal opinions. President Coolidge adhered religiously to the principle that he should treat all newspaper men alike, and his personal popularity today i that he profited rather hand- from the experiment. President Hoover has reverted to the Roose- veltian theory. The results of his un- dertaking will be disclosed in due time. | Thought of Murder. It comes down to a rather simple proposition of protecting the American public_against the hokus-pokus which politicians in Washington will put over | if the intelligence of Washington news- paper men dropsbelow par. I recall a day in the Senate in 1918 when “Gumshoe Bill” Stone and “Boss Boies” Penrose went at it hammer and tongs in the first violent political row after Mr. Wilson had stated in brilliant war message, journed.” The Democratic from Miissouri and the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania reconvened | | | observations of a Senator. Some of the finest newspaper. men in Washington devote . themselves almost exclusively to this so-called local or regional news. They are not advertised as widely as their colleagues who write powerful pleces on general news, buf they pir- form an intensely valuable duty to the reading public. . Theirs is the hard part of Washington news-gathering. They pound the marble corridors of the House Senate office buildings, gathering a paragraph here and another there, and wearing out a lot of shoe leather, The greatest of these in his day was Louis Ludlow. Lou Ludlow represented newspapers in Indianapolis, Ind.; Louisville, Ky.; Columbus, Oltlo; Jacksonville, Fla.; papers in Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. We used to say that Ludlow had all the newspapers no one else had. Long of | limb and indefatigable, he covered more ground per minute than Col. Lindbergh, a Man-o'-War or a Maj. Segrave ever | dreamed of. Politics Got Ludlow. It is a matter of legend that Lou Ludlow met a Senator in the office of Secretary of War Garrison during !hel Wilson administration. The Senator was leaving Mr. Garrison's office as Ludlow was entering. The Senator had his car waiting out in front of the building” to drive him direct to the Capitol. Ludlow roamed about the war office, and on foot visited the Inter- state Commerce Commission, the Post Office Department and the Federal | Trade Commission and was walking out of the Senate Office Building when his friend the Senator arrived there in his high-speed automobile. Ludlow came to a bad end. He'ls a member of Congress now from the Indianapolis district. The duties of the press association correspondent are very exacting. He must get all the news and get it ahead | of his press association rivals. To be five minutes late on any important news development in Washington is to merit a severe call-down from a news editor at the New York end of a wire. The job of the| special correspondent in Washington is quite easy. After the pres assocla- tions have corralled all the news that is fit to print the special cor- respondent must dig up something the press assoclations have missed; some- thing big and important and exclusive. | Try and do it and see how you like it. | There is a definite and fundamental | difference between the two types of Washington correspondents, and any |one of them capable of thinking two thoughts in & row is alert to an _ele- mental principle of journalism. Here is the reason: Suppose there is an exciting debate in the Senate. Senator Jim_ Watson of Indiana and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi go to the mat in a col- loquy. They become so forensic in de- | bate as to incline the galleries to be- lieve that a fist fight impends. Two Great Debaters. Jim Watson is so much of & Re- publican he really enjoys reading noth- ing in- Democratic newspapers except ' the death notices. Harrison is such a rabid Democrat he gets up at | 6 o'clock every morning in order to have a long day in which to hate Re- publicans. It is the function of the press asso- ciations to report what is said on the floor. k It is the duty of the special cor- respondent to know that immediately following the Senate debate Pat Har- | rison goes over, and placing his right his | - “Politics is ad- | BOgue you ever heard?

The politics with such emphasis that we in | great newspaper which sponsors this the press gallery thought the two men |national radio series offers such an, might attempt to murder each other | impressive emphasis of the point I have on the Senate floor before they closed their heated argument. As reporters we were in a lather of 1 in mind, I am going to tell you about it. The Washington Star prints the news excitement over this great outburst of | exactly as it comes from Byron Price's partisanship—the first of the war. The incident was historical. on official stenographic reports of the fighting words which Penrose and Stone had passed on the Senate floor. We obtained them. We left the Cap- itol stoop-shouldered under the burden of the official transcript of the Penrose- Stone combative language. A big red automobile whisked by us and nearly ran over us. It was the car of Senator Penrose. On the spacious back seat were Boles Penrose and “Bill" Stone, chatting merrily and quite friendly. We reproached Senator Penrose about it the next day. The Senator chuckled all over. His giant frame rocked with suppressed laughter. i : “Bill Stone and I are pretty good friends,” he said, then added signif- icantly, “after dark.” It is the function of the special cor- respondent in Washington to be alert to incidents of the sort and interpret them for what they are worth. We are told that the difference be- tween a reporter and a journalist in ‘Washington is that the journalist wears spats, carries a cane, has a silk hand- kerchief in the breast pocket of his coat and borrows money from report- ers. Having loaned as freely as my re- sources permitted, while having precious little luck at borrowing, I hope I still may call myself a reporter. There is, after all, no real difference between the press association reporter and the so-called special correspondent in Washington. Both are concerned with the news. It happens that the one sticks religiously to facts, while the other sometimes indulges in opinions as to what those facts signify. In the final analysis, an item of news is far more important to both than what either might think about it. Different Jobs. ‘They have different jobs to do, and their respective responsibilities do not conflict so fong as both function ef- ficiently. The press association reporter gets the facts as rapidly and as ac- curately as possible and puts them on a telegraph wire.” The special correspond- ent_undertakes to interpret those facts to his readers, to elaborate them, to convey their real significance. We fight like the devil to beat one another, but we are united in our opposition to any- body’s contention that the radio, the newsreel or the movietone can take the place of the newspaper in the American home. Every newspaper in the country has the service of one or more press associations. About 500 newspapers have special bureaus in Washington. That means those newspapers desire something supplemental to the general run of the news. In most instances the function of the special correspond- ent is to supply local news. By that Imean news of special concern to a partic. ular community and not of great value elsewhere; the lp‘golnhnent of a post- master, or prohibition administrator, items of State politics, the comings and goings of a Congressman or the sage G “At Seventh and K” "Ever; Pair of Glasses We insisted | | ite front page nearly every day a signed LDEN Associated Press Bureau.

In other words, you have the situs tion where the average newspaper | reader is too much concerned with other affairs of life to work these things | out for himself. He expects his news- paper to have a man in Washington to do it for him. Most newspapers have men here to do just that, to say what the words of public men signify and what events in Washington portend.

Driven to sheiter by the drenching rain yesterday with their model air-| planes, prospective “aviators” in the model aircraft tournament to be h!ld]‘ here in September, tucked their delicate | craft under their arms and took them back to their hangars after they had gathered at the Chevy Chase aircraft field to participate in the first of a series of qualification rounds for out- door planes. The field is a short dis- tance west of Chevy Chase Circle. ‘The preliminary flights and the tour- nament in September are under the au- spices of the District of Columbia Model | Alrcraft League. Tentative plans are for the events, which were to have been held yester- day, to be held at the Monument Grounds next Saturday in connection with the regular schedule for qualifi- cation flights then.

On the Island of Santo Domingo there is to be encountered a great va- riety of insects which, in one form or another, are active during the 24 hours of the day. The houses are kept rea- sonably free from these pests through the activities of the “gecko,” which makes its home the houses, but re- fuses to share hospitality with any form of insect life. The gecko is a terrible- looking lizard which is perfectly harm- less and it moves slowly about the house and gathers up insects of all kinds. It is slow until its eyes light on its prey and tHen it is quick enough to make a bull's shot and rarely misses. \RERG'S The Dependable Store Use Your Charge Ac- count — Opti- .cal Depart- yment — Main Floor.
