Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABEL

THERE will be big change in the newspaper
i business this week. George Marshall, million
aire laundryman of the capital and Tor the lasV
few months a neWspaperman, is reslgnlng MS
most as publisher of The Washington Times.

knows the exuberant, Shiny-halred Marshall
at least by sight. He is seen wherever there IS
champagne, caviar and entertainment.

comics of La Vie Parisienne. He wears morning
coats. silk hats evening dress collars and beau
tifullv laundered shirts with an air OF non
chalance that rivals the ads of clgaret concern
The big Question seems to be what George
will do now? Is he to re-enter the Laundry ouSl-

(Which he recently used on an invitation 10 a

business cards? Or will he take over another
newspaper? Gossip is rife but no one Knows any
thing definite.
