Congratulations to The Star or
the occasion of its Tooth anniver-
sary.
GEN. JOHN E. HULL.
Vice Chief of Staff.
United States Army.

We were 4 years old when you
came into the world in 1852. and
along with the other citizens
of Washington. warmly welcomed
your arrival.
We became one of your first
customers in that the annual
meetings of our stockholders were
advertised in The Evening Star.
AS the years passed we became a
regular advertiser in your columns
and naturally we have been sub
scriber for century; also, OF
course. We have supplied bit of
news now and then.
In our old records we have many
mementoes of The Evening Star.
These records tell us many stories.
One in particular will interest you.
You were but an infant when you
applied for gas to light your offices.
Certain requirements were to be
met then as now because of local
regulations and when you had
complied with these. a letter came
to us from Capt. Joseph B. Tate on
a piece of brown wrapping paper
you had no engraved lettefheads
then-askine us to supply the gas.
That letter has been reproduced
In the current issue of our en-
ploye's magazine. The Wonder
Flame, which to help you celebrate
your birthday has an article de-
voted to The Evening Star. IS
1t is interesting also that for
several years our company had its
Offices where you now are. We ar
rived there in 1851. You settled
there 20 years later.
AS we have shared problems and
friendship for a century. it is only
natural that we share your happi-
ness on your birthday. We also

Linotype Firm Presents Plaque
To Star on tooth Anniversary

A plaque bearing a bust OF
Johannes Gutenberg, father of
printing. has been presented to
The Star by the Mergenthaler
Linotype Co. in honor of this
newspapers Tooth anniversary
The typsetting machine firm
had hoped to give the newspaper
a font of type similar to that used
by The Star during the hand set
days of 1852.
But new inventions in type faces
wiped out the so-called ink trap
types used in those days, and the
linotype firm could find nothing
suitable of this nature.
Thus it was that the Guten-
berg bust, with appropriate in
scription on the centennial, was
presented by Mergenthaler.

It's the colorful front cover Of the

Mr.. Sudduth's drawing of The

required diligent study of early
printing devices. Mr.. Hill said.
Luck Aids IN Pictures.
Some fine old pictures were
found by sheer luck, after hours
Iof planned research--like the time
signal atop the Naval Observatory
and that OF Bull Run (found inl
Ia London newSpaper).
The roto staff was not convinced
ia picture Of the old Georgetown
ferry was genuine until they got
another. matching view from the
other side of the river, Mr.. Hill
added.
Thus each illustration had be-
hind it an interesting story of its
own. just as the evolution Of Jour-
nalism was brought out in head
lines and styles Of writing.
Mr.. Evans visit to The Star
began at the very heart of the
plant-the mighty presses-where
he found preSsman he wouldn't
expect there on most days.
Mr.. Kaufman had donned the
familiar paper hat Of the press
man for little ceremony dear to
the hearts of all newspaper
executives.
He was a l-fiedged pressman
for this day, at least. Mr.. Kauff-
mann assured Mr.. Evans. For
hadn't the pressmen's union ex-
tended him paid-up union card,
with assessment stamps attached,
to make this bona-fide opera
ton?
Starts Presses Rolling.
Grinning broadly, The Star
president pressed the button that
set the presses in motion. Soon
the ribbon Of paper was whirring
through the impression rollers at
the rate of $4,000 newspapers an
hour. Thus drama attended his
torical milestone in the newspaper
industry.
For the remainder of the inter-
view, Mr.. Evans enjoyed Mr..
Kauffmann's history of The Star
family and how the newspaper
grew, then an interesting scanning
OF the special rotogravure section
marking the Tooth anniversary.
AS they chatted. Mr.. Kaufman
recalled how printers ink had
penetrated Grandfather Kauff-
mann's" veins even before he came
to Washington to buy into The
Star. An 1858 edition of his grand
fathers GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Daily
Courier still hangs on the wall of
his Office. Mr.. Kaufman said.
Now nine great-grandsons of
the old editor and his partner,
Crosby Stuart Noyes. are carry
ing on the tradition with fine
work on The Star, Mr.. Kauff-
mann added.

In another program over Sta

shared speaking roles with The

The audience also had an intimate
introduction to The Stars CEN
Itennial rotogravure section in an
illustrated chat between I. William
Hill, who edited the section, and
Bryson Rash, WMAL-TV news
commentator.
Distinguishing Characteristics.
Looking back over the years,
Mr.. Kaufman declared that
attainment of age was no par
lticular distinction for a news
paper.
"We believe there are two dis
Itinguishing characteristics Of The
Star which are noteworthy" he
said.
First, there has beeen a con-
tinuity Of purpose. After a cen
tury it would be difficult to i'm
prove upon the editorial salutatior
chosen by the founder, Capt
Joseph B. Tate, to announce the
object Of the enterprise.
"And then, there has been con-
tinuity of directing ownership
which has accounted in part fol
the steadfast allegiance to The
Stars first principle. For the past
IS years. ownership and manage
Iment Of The Star have been in the
hands Of one group Of people"
In concluding, Mr.. Kaufman
said:
And as we enter the second
century, we look to the future with
a deep sense Of obligation and con-
fidence in it's fulf1llment, born OF
pride in an honorable past"
Right to Unbiased News.
Mr.. McKelway spoke of the pride
Star employees take in the papers
character. moulded by thousands
of Star men and women through
the years.
1T is a newspaper which be-
lieves the people have the right
to unbiased. uncolored news-for
lit is their right to know what is
going on" he said.
The paper believes in fair edi-
torial comment, which will more
interpret significance of news than
to tell people what they ought to
do, he continued.
For it is a newspaper that be-
lieves the people are capable OF
making up their own minds when
they know the facts"
Mr.. Hill, The Stars news editor,
brought out. in a discussion with
Mr.. Rash, the painstaking research
that went into the centennial
Irotogravure section.
I For instance, Photographer
Randolph Routt made no less than
20 pictures Of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. before he got just what he
wanted to match up with Artist
Newman Sudduth's painting of the
same location 100 years ago. This

more truck targets were picked up
