The Champion Headline
Reader
washington STAR

From a purely professional point of
view Mayor Walkers recent testimony
on his newspaper reading habits were
intensely interesting to the Journalist
VINO earns his bread and butter by try
ing to make people read what he writes.
Mayor Walker is confessed headline
reader. but seldom digs down into the
smaller type below to see what the
headline Is based on. He gave an in
terestlng example Of this habit in his
statements relating to his knowledge
OF his brothers alleged fee-splitting
with other doctors. The mayor was
not interested enough to read the
newspaper articles on his brothers
testimony. He said he read only the
headlines. From the headlines he
gained general impression of the
charges and later visited the corpora
ton counsers office to find out
whether they were true.
But that is not nearly so important
as the fact that the mayor read only
the headlines. For here, at least, one
finds what must be the champion
headline reader of all time! Imagine
the mayor sitting down to his break
fast, newspaper propped behind his
cup OF coffee. He glances over the
headlines. The biggest and the black
est of them all, embellished with q
picture Of his brother two columns
wide. declares that doctors who per-
form certain work for the city have
been splitting their fees, fifty-fifty,
with the mayors own brother. who is
ncc On the city payroll. This, the
mayor has said, was the first he
learned about it. But, being head
line reader and the champion of them
all, he merely read the headlines.
He probably said to himself, if he is
like other headline readers. well,
we'll, well. I see by the papers that
old Bill has been splitting fees. I'm
agine that"
And, presumably. the mayor turned
over to see what the headlines on page
two would say about the way the
world was wagging elsewhere.
