Man bout
Manhattan
By George Tucker

NEW YORK, May 2O.-A b o u t
five or ten minutes past four every
afternoon the word is passed
around the NBC news room that
Lord Haw Haw will be on in a
minute with his evening news chat.
Lord Haw Haw is the Englishman
who fled Briton at the outbreak
of the war and now feeds his
countrymen a long line of sarcasm
by radio. 1t is said that all good
Englishmen tune him in regularly
and that he is now the favorite
news broadcaster of the British
public. l car tell you that Lord
HaW HaW also is the favorite
broadcaster of the NBC listening
staff, despite the presence of John
Gunther, H. V. Kaltenborn, Lowell
Thomas, and other top flight stars
of their own.
We, by good luck, happened to
60 up to NBC the other day just
before Lord Haw Haw came on
the air, and the word to get ready
to listen in vas being passed ar.
ound to everybody, from the eng
ineers to the reporters and the
secretaries. They like to listen to
this unknown Englishman. whose
cultured voice floats out of Brem.
en-, Germany, every afternoon and
every evening with gleeful &C.
counts of how the Germans are
daily outwitting the British.
Lord Haw Haw, following the
German custom that was in evid-
ence even before hostilities began,
invariably speaks highly of the
French troops. Discussing the Nor.
wegian campaign, he made a point
of explaining that French troops
engaged in that undertaking al
ways retired in good order, with
their full equipment. The British,
he said, went berserk, throwing
down their rifles and fleeing in
panic. It was not a retreat; it was
a rout, said he.
Engllshmen who have attempt
ed to identify Lord Haw Haw be.
lieve he is a former member OF
the British Fascist legion who
spent some time in this country
A London wit gave him the name
of Lord Haw Haw shortly after
hostilities began. Whoever this
man is, ne has excellent radio
personality. His speech is the pre-.
else, cultured speech of an edu.
Gated Englishman and it is remin.
iscent of Leslie Howard.

broadcasting companies, NBC du.

Dear DR.. Clark:
have just read the article printed
in your newspaper last week purport-
ing to give an account of the trial
of William Walker and Billy Goodwin,
charged with the assault of one Ralph
Birmingham, before Justice of the
Peace at Snow Hill, Maryland. AS one
of the attorneys representing the de-
PENDANTS and being present at the
trial and for your information, I beg
to advise that the account as given
by your paper was seriously erroneous
in several of the essential facts.
In the first place, I wish to state
that I, neither as attorney nor as the
father of Billy Goodwin, made any
plea whatsoever before the Court nor
did the attorneys representing the
defendants nor the defendants them
oSAVSo, OShy IiiSiA gum III dliy ISopSSt.
I, as an attorney in the case simply
examined certain witnesses in the
customary manner when more than
one attorney represents a defendant.
made no statement whatsoever to
the Court as to the guilt or innocence
of these defendants.
Tn inst tn 10 r
think it only fair to us that you
should be appraised of the real facts
in the case which are briefly these;
Birmingham by his course of action
provoked the said assault which as
sault however, was in no way just
flied and the defendants proceeded to
strike and beat the said Birmingham,
the cutting being wholly accidental
and unprecedented.
I would therefore consider it only
fair and proper that you extend to me
the courtesy of your columns to ask
you to print this letter in your paper
in such space or spaces as provided
by you for such communications. I
make this request, feeling sure that
you as an Editor desire to extend to
any opposing parties like privileges
and the use of your paper to present
facts in their true light to your SUBJ
scribers.
Assuring you of my thanks in adj
vance, I am,
Very truly yours,
Wrendo M. Goodwin.

WEATHER WEDNESDAY

The circus, advertised to show here
on Wednesday last, was prevented
from putting in their program, by the
heavy wind storm which broke over
these parts early in the afternoon,
accompanied by down pour of rain.
In order to save their canvas, the
proprietors of the show lowered their
tents, and there was no let-up in the
weather to give encouragement to
subsequent raising. The rain extended
later into the afternoon, and since
prospects of an audience were slim,
the workmen folded their tents and
silently sped away.
