PERSONALITY URGED IN NEWS WRITING Society Editor of The Star Stresses Point Before G. W. Jour- nalism Class. “Life and color are being restored 6 newspaper stories by the renewed use of the human _interest type,” said Mrs. Sallie V. H. Pickett, society editor of The Evening Star, in_ an address be- fore the elass in journalism at George 'llhl.n% University Friday. Mrs. ett showed the importance of personal things in newspaper and Mmagazine writing and declared that the blic demand for such articles gave portance to the publications that emphasized their place in the affairs of the\people. She advised the stu- dents that those who were making preparations to enter the profession should pay attention to personality as a means of giving greater value to the | work and that those who were so| equipped wouid go farther than would | otherwise be possible. | The importance of backgrounds also | was a subject of comment by Mrs, Pickett, and she declared that persons | who were engaged in reporting should at all times make an effort to obtain a full understanding of the backgrounds of daily events, even though the ma- terial was not for immediate use. ‘The speaker told of some of her own :meflem‘zs in general news reporting, especially in interviewing prom- | inent persons in whom various publi- cations had an interest, and she ad- vised the class: “Yod are paid only for what you do that the publication wants."” MEXICO TO PROBE STATION OF BRINKLEY By the Associated Press MEXICO CITY, Octdber 24.— The radio broadcasting station which John R.
