REPORTER
Famous News Leads Recalled

The subject Of newspaper
leads has always been an in
teresting one to me. This Is
especially true Of such stories
that lend themselves to bright
writing. Recently. Ray Erwin.
o columnist on Editor q Pub
Usher. has been publishing
famous leads. He has some
pretty good ones.
MOST RENOWNED is the
one Grantland Rice wrote
after a Notre Dame game Of
the 1905, when he said that
Outlined against q blue-gray
October sky the Four Horse
men rode again."
Jack Lait had a sharp eye
for good leads and good titles
for books, too. He was editor
of the New York Mirror.
chewing unfortunately on his
.wn gums, and he told me
that he was thinking Of writ
ing his memoirs. ! asked him
If he had q title for 1t. He
said: at win be called Lead
to Come"
The same man. as a re-
porter on the Chicago Herald
Examiner, heard that Harry
X. Thaw had escaped from an
insane asylum in New York
and was said to be in the
Chicago area. He used his
contacts to find Thaw. and
had an interview with him.
The lead of his story was sim
pie: Harry K. Thaw arrived
in Chicago yesterday brown
as a nut"
Fritz Howell, according to
Mr.. Erwin, covered a wrest-
ling match in which a butter
belly named Ali Bahia was
lifted by his opponent and
tossed on his head out Of the
ring onto the concrete floor.
Howell,s lead was: STARS
fell on Ali Bahia last night"
John McNulty had a left
handed sense Of humor. and
he had the gift Of making
much out Of nothing. He was
In a little place called Mar
tinsville, when a real live
motion picture company ar
rived to make q picture
called "Show Boat" Jacks
lead was typical: "Some day
the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury may ride down the main
street Of Martinsville on the
front seat Of q two-seater
bicycle. with Gilda Gray on
the back seat. and singing
Yes Sir. He's My Baby but
Martinsville won't be any
more excited than 1t Is to-
day"
On st. Valentines Day in
1929. seven gangsters were
lined against q garage wall
in Chicago and machine
gunned to death. The leads
that night were Of. varying
impact in the several news
papers, but Arthur Turney, Of
the Herald-Examiner, wrote
one that is remembered:
Chicago gangsters graduated
yesterday from murder to
massacre"
THE ONE THAT remains
with me was written by James
Whitaker on the Mirror. It
was 1881, and the city edi-
tor, George Clarke. had a tip
that q rich girl named Doris
Duke was about to become
engaged to a New York State
Assemblyman named Michael

sonably neat and clean and
appear at the dinner table
on time. AL his father asks
is that he get decent grades
and help out with q few Of
the heavier chores. Some
times he does these things
with q sulk. But all too
often he neglects them and
when we call It to his at
tention he flares up.
He Is the youngest Of four
children and we never had
this trouble with any Of the
others. We can't imagine
what's eating him.
Stephen s. - All ! hear
is constant nag, nag, nag.
II ! do. remember TO wash
behind the ears, then I
haven't got my shoes tied
right or my shirt Is coming
out Of my pants. II I moved
the lawn. ] forgot TO take
out the garbage. You can't
win II you're me. You're al-
ways in the wrong.
On top of that, my parents
are always looking at me as
II I'm q lunatic or something.
Or maybe I'm just the bad
apple In the batch. They're
always talking about how my
brother Perry never was like
that - and my sisters. well
they're just too. too divine.
] know I have Q temper
and ! try to keep it under
control. but every now and
then things get to be too
much. ] Just can't take It
any more.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Steve's statement has an
honest ring to It. We get the
impression that he doesn't
lack respect for his parents
and all they represent. but
that he feels he falls hope
lessly short Of their standards
for him.
This probably accounts for
his temper tantrums and
sulks. Most Of the time he
probably goes around feeling
like a failure--chock full Of
shortcomings.
It is certainly q great mis-
take to compare such q boy
or any other child to other
youngsters in or out Of the
family. It is enough TO tell
q boy like Steve what is ex-
pected Of him and to praise
him when he does well.
These parents should try to
keep the criticisms to q
minimum until Steve's sick
ego has q chance to heal
itself. When he gains self
respect and self-confldence
he'll be able TO ''take 1t" bet
ter.
But 1t should be borne in
mind that even the most ma
ture and self-confident per-
son can be worn down by q
barrage Of criticism. Yet
many adolescents are sub
jected to just that--"for
their own good" Of course.

BluftOn Bypass
Completion Rests
With Congress

Completion of the Bluffton by
pass in 1960-61 rests with Con-
gressional approval of an in
crease in the federal gasoline tax,
village solicitor Malcolm Basing-
er said last week.
Federal funds for the inter-
state system are nearly exhaust
ed and the tax increase is the
only way to make this extra
money available for state con-
struction programs.
State highway officials told Mr..
Basinger the local project will
be included in 1960-61 plans if the
extra money can be raised by
the federal tax.
The entire project would be
made four lane, limited access
highway, he said.
Overheads will be constructed
at the Bentley road and County
Line intersections. The only in
terchange to serve Bluffton would
be at route 103 and the Phillips
road intersections.

Ebony Features
VIRGIN Islander
In Denmark

Ebony magazine for April
1859 features a Virgin Island
born Danish citizen who is a
school inspector Of the largest
school in Nakskov, Denmark,
enc of the country's largest
cities. He was referred to as a
nationally known lecturer, di-
rector Of the Nakskov public
school of music and the only
Negro civil servant in Den
mark.
Born in the Virgin Islands in
1898 when the islands were a
Danish Colony, Victor Valde-
mar Cornelius passed up a
chance to become an American
citizen and retained his Danish
citizenship, partly because Of
the racial situation in America
at the time.
According to Ebony the
Queen Of Denmark arranged
for him to study at the Royal
Orphanage after she saw him
at a national exposition in
1905 when he was sent to re-
present the Virgin Islands.
There are an estimated 100
