Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Marion County, 25 July 1936 — Page 32

One of the most delightful things about a Times columnist i is his change of pace. Today he: may take you behind the

scenes at Washington, London or Rome for a close-up view of world-famous figures and let you listen in to their off-

stage lines. Tomorrow he may open the pop-valve to his pent up feelings on poor relief, horse racing or the love life

of the Columbia River salmon. He’s ironical, whimsical, satirical and witty by turns. Sometimes he’s in dead ear-

nest ...sometimes he writes with his tongue in his cheek. And occasionally he takes a none too gentle swing at some

of your cherished beliefs. But whether you agree with him, or disagree, he’s always interesting, entertaining and in-

formative. His columns are personal, intimate, informal ... like a letter from a friend. Because he can... and does

. write as he pleases.

Westbrook Pegler

In three years Westbrook Pegler has become one of America’s most popular columnists. And for very good reasons... as you will quickly discover by following his column “Fair Enough” for a few days. Pegler has a knack. for apt expression and pungent phraseology, richly flavored with humor. Sham and pretense in high places are Pegler’s pet hates. And when he sets out to expose them the result is usually devastating. You'll get a kick out of Pegler. And more than once you'll have occasion to say, “That's just what I've been thinking but I didn’t know how fo say it”

Heywood Broun

The delightful thing about Heywood Broun is that even- when he raises your iemperature a few degrees, he gives you something to think about. Broun’s opinions are his own, and he never pulls his punches in setting them down. So that even though you disagree with him, you still admire his inimitable style and his forthrightness. Whether it's a whimsical narration of an interesting personal experience, or a searching analysis of a social problem, you'll find him always en-
