STUDENT IN JOURNALISM GIVEN TIP; NEW5MEN IN
 WASHINGTON RUGGED
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l. Open letter to student in Journalism |: Well they got me, Butch. mean the Secret Service. I'm not com blaming but since you seem de- termined to embark on sea of printers ink. I thought you ought to know what Journalism with a capital is coming to. Just in case you think that reporters blow into the Senate and yell at Vice President Wallace. Hi Hank, whats news?"-or breeze into the White House and say, Look, ED. I gotta have the lowdown -
 Butch, you'd better start think ing along different lines. The other day word went around that all accredited newsmen and women in Washington were to present themselves at the White House pronto. To get fingerprinted and mugged and fill out questionnaires
 No, Butch, it wasn't any law. You didn't HAVE to do it. But in re- turn for the finger prints and photo and properly answered question naire, you got White House cor respondents card with your pass port picture on it.
 Without one of those cards, you couldn't earn your pay here for the Perkins Puddle Gazette. I'll bet you couldn't get in to see liar old L. Ickes' fourth assistant jani- tor without one.
 And if you are going to buy groceries for the little woman Butch, you are going to have to do your reporting a lot closer to the Big Guns than that. See what I mean?

Chinese wheelbarrows are not like

In Chinese cities We find some
streets which are wide and well
spaved. In country districts, on the
