That Middle Initial
Is an Elusive Thinq
By Wallace {. Clayton

It may not be believed by the
more avid fans of grade "B''
movies, and it may be met with
|scofing by those who never miss
radio drama. but the rude truth
is that it oftentimes takes more
than one reporter to develop a
news story.
The dashing, wise-cracking lone
wolf of the make-believe news
paper is as rare in real life as a
two headed man who hasn't ap-
peared on, 1--WE the People"
A good news story usually has
more angles than Godfrey has
sponsors. The reporters who in
vestigate these angles are known
as leg-men; it is their job to
gather the news and turn it over
in a clear, concise and systematic
way to the re-write man, who is
writing the story.
But why this brief discourse on
the task of putting a news story
together?
Because as a leg man Harry
Macarthur would make good
hosiery salesman, that's why. And
you had to know what was ex-
pected before you could fully
realize how dismal was the result.
Here is what happened, and here
is why our usually well-disciplined
neuroses have abandoned a genteel
game of drop the handkerchief for
a turbulent game of football.
The assignment sounded sim
pie.
Macarthur has a cold" a con-
ciliatory telephone voice said
KNOCK out a column for him
He has all the dope. Just give
him a call"
That, we thought, is a great
idea. After years Of running

angles, report there are a couple
of pretty good openings scheduled

Victor Borge, the Unmelancholy
Dane, starts a two-week run at the
Embassy Room of the Statler, and

Because we looked for the notes.
And this is what we found:

The call was made, and we

from a discussion of the merits
of the name Johnny Chats q

want to talk to Daddy for?'
(Daddy's going to help us.)
Then Daddy came to the phone
and we realized we were better
off with Johnny.

Mr.. After Dark himself. "Her

him.
"As for that bandits all in
my notes.
ut seems to me I heard a good
story at the Madrillon, too," he
added. "But my throat hurts

discovered, was more a prayer OF
