The Newspaper Ladder
To Fame

Not even half a brick bulges the
Pennsylvania Railroad roadbed to put
an extra click or bobble into the
smooth movement of ultra-modern
passenger trains through Martins
Ferry, Belmont County But the
track runs right over a pretty big
bump on the journalistic surface of
Ohio nevertheless-the birth place of
William Dean Howells, termed
"America's Leading Writer of Fic-
ton"
Howells was born in little one.
story, two-room brick cottage there
March 1, 1887, built by his father. II
was pulled down to make way for
the Cleveland Pittsburgh railroad
right of way.
When the hall of fame, giving
recognition to distinguished Ohio
journalists was established at Ohio
State University, Columbus, in 1923,
William Dean Howells was given one
of the most prominent places in it.
The beginning of his newspaper life
was most humble.
Of Welsh Quaker stock, the Ho-
wells always had possessed literary
strain but Williams newspaper life
began when his father moved to
Butler County and published news
paper named "The Hamilton Intelli-
gencer." The boy then was three
years old but learned to set type
just the same.
News Boy
Then the family moved to Dayton,
where the father bought the Dayton
Transcript" and changed it to a
daily. William used to work till
midnight on that paper and then
get up at 4 a. m. and deliver it to
subscribers. 1t took that paper just
two years to flop. William Dean
Howelrs father too, was a news
paperman and knew the ups and
downs.
In 1851, at IA, William Dean
Howells got job setting type on
the still existent "Ohio State Journ-
al" Columbus. His pay was four
dollars a week-the first money he
ever earned and received of his own.
That he turned into the family purse
to keep starvation away.
1t did not take Howells long to
become news editor of he Journal
and from 1856 to 1861 he was an
editorial writer on it.
During the tight Presidential cam
paign of 1860 Howells wrote a
political biography of Abraham
Lincoln which so benefited and
pleased the President that he sent
the young writer to Venice as consul
there.
When he came back from Italy in
1864 Howells got job on the staff
of "The Nation contributed to "The
Atlantic Monthly" and in 1872 be-
came that magazines editor. By
1881 he was editor in chief.
Recognized As Poet
Howells' first poetry was written
when he worked on the Ohio State
Journal as a type-setter. There he
and another compositor, John J. Piatt,
put out a whole. volume of poems.
Later in New England, he was
recognized by Lowell, Longfellow,
Emerson and Hawthorne.
He connection with Atlantic Mon
thly brought him national fame and
every book he wrote was gobbled up
avidly by Ohioans, who rightfully
and proudly considered the journalist
the states own eminent son.

Prague to be severed soon by
the Czechoslovak governmentD
The reported police interference
with the Vatican representative
high lighted another day in the
spreading strife between the Ro-
man Catholic Church and the
state.
According to church sources.
Czechoslovakia' S Communist rulers
have begun censoring the sermons
of Catholic bishops and imposing
a gag on those who attempt to
criticize the government.
The action apparently fore
shadowed a campaign of restric-
ton against services inside Cath
olic churches. Those services thus
far have been relatively free, al
though often under surveillance.
Rumors persisted in Prague that
Archbishop Josef Beran. the
nations primate, had been
formally arrested. The arch
bishop failed to appear at a service
for ordination of new priests, but
an informed source said Arch
bishop Beran had not planned to
participate and that he still was
in his palace under police sur
veillance which was imposed two
weeks ago.
Counselor Involved in Case.
The diplomat whom the police
accosted was Msgr. Gennaro Vero-
limo, counselor and charge daft
fairs in the papal nunciature in
Prague.
Msgr. Verolino recently has been
under heavy attack by the Czecho-
slovak government and its con-
trolled press. Newspapers have
accused him Of "subversive activ-
ity" in allegedly inspiring the
Catholic hierarchy in its fight

The Taft provision enabling
the President to seize plant, or
get an injunction, or do both
replaces a section Of the admin
istration bill which provided
merely for a 30-day cooling of
period and appointment Of study
boards when serious national
strikes threaten.
The crucial test came on the
Lucas motion to knock the in
junction clause out Of the Taft
plan. The Democratic leader
failed, 46 to A. On this roll
call a substantial number of Re-
publicans who had voted with TIE
administration against The Hol-
land amendment switched to
Senator Taft's side.
After Senator Lucas had failed
by q two-vote margin to kill the

The provision that employers
would not be required to bargain
with foremen.
The comments Of administra-
ton strategists and spokesmen for
labor indicated clearly that they
are becoming reconciled to defeat
this year in their campaign for
Taft Hartley repeal.
Senator Lucas said ''it doesn't
look too bright" in view Of what
happened yesterday.
Senator Douglas, Democrat. Of
Illinois said "anti-labor forces"

the bill would have to be vetoed. "
Meanwhile. one Republican voice
was raised in sharp criticism of
the Taft emergency strike plan.
Senator Morse of Oregon said yes
terday's action made the bill so
unavoidable and anti-labor" that
any further efforts to improve it
would be waste of time"
Seventeen Democrats joined 80

Only five Republicans deserted
Senator Taft to vote with IS DEM
