Most people look back on
certain milestones in their
lives as more important than
others, and so it is with Ed
ward r. Murrow.
The tall, deep-voiced CHS
newscaster and commentator
recalls one was at Washington
State College when he studied
speech under Ida Lou Ander-
son. polio-crippled but a great
teacher in Murrow's book.
"I think she taught me to
read books. but mainly to ask
questions" he says.
An even more important
milestone, he thinks. was back
in 1888 when. as assistant di-
rector of the Institute Of In
ternational Education he
spanked a drive Ito bring out
80 of the best minds from
Germany" when Adolf Hitler
came to power.
The German professors,
brought to this country, called
frequently on Murrow "and as
a result of this ! had for al
most two years a revolving
seminar, and I think I learned

than anything"

Although his "See 1t Now"

Murrow says it not only
gave him priceless education in

"also gave me wonderful con-

These friendships, he says,
opened many doors when he
became European director for

Joining the network. During
his subsequent wartime broad

friendships with many of the
worlds leading statesmen.
