NEW YORK, March 4 G.N.So
Robert Paine Scripps, head of the
Scripps-Howard enterprises, anc
one of Americas noted newspaper
men, is dead at the age of AZ.
He died of an internal hemor
rhage aboard his yacht, off lover
California today.
With a party of friends, ScrippE
sailed from San Diego February

CONQUERED FRAILTY
Robert Scripps, as boy, was
slender and none too strong. and
in his early life he was educated
by private tudors and by his
father. Later he went to Ponana
(Calif) College. His father be
lieved in training young men to
shoulder responsibilities.
At the age of 16, Robert turned
to the newspaper profession. He
worked as a circulation man and
reporter in Philadelphia, as an
editor in San Diego, a circulation
man in Bakersfield, Cal, and as
a reporter in Eureka, Cal. He also
took his turn at managing the
Scripps Miramar Ranch.
KNEW JACK LONDON
HY;, SotIoor foob hin, an O world
tour in his yacht. Young Scripps
then went on an adventurous tour
of his own, to Hawaii, where he
met and became a close friend of
Jack London, and to Australia.
His father ordered him to build
himself up physically and as a re-
suit he became an expert boxer.
At the age of 81, he married
Margaret Lou Culbertson.
During the World War, the elder
Scripps appointed Robert editor
in-chief of the ScrippS press.
Robert Scripps was modest and
retiring. He rarely wrote under
his own name and he made few
public appearances. He lived
aboard his yacht, or at his fathers
old estate at Ridgefield, Conn, or
at the Miramar Ranch in Cali
fornia.
STARTED CHAIN
In 1922, Roy w. Howard re-
signed as president of the United
Press to form a partnership with
Robert, starting the Scripps-How'
ard chain which established and
merged newspapers in Washing
ton, Pittsburgh, New York, But
falo and other cities.
Robert is survived by his widow
and six children-Robert p, Jr.
10; Charles E., IT; Margaret Ellen
16: Nackey Elizabeth, IA; Samuel

Control Of the ScrippS-Howarc
newspapers, it was explained here
today, is vested in the truSt
founded by the elder Scripps
During his lifetime, Robert ScrippS
was the sole trustee and as such
the controlling stockholder.

event of the death of Rober
Scripps. the control shall be vestec
in three trustees-Roy w. Howard
chairman of the executive com
mittee of all Scripps- Howard cor
porations; William w. Hawkins
chairman of the board, and George
B. Parker, editor-in-chief. Howard
Is the senior trustee.
