Ishbel Ross Ranks Her Art - With Best of Men in Washington.
BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer
* WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Ruth |
Pinney of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers’ Washington staff is characterized as “the leading woman political writer working in Wash-
ington” by Ishbel Ross, in “Ladies |
of the Press™ (Harpers), a volume published surveying the word of women in journalism over the whole country. She ranks with the best men in the press galleries, Miss Ross says. “Her stories are lucid and terse,” the book says. “She can cut through masses of figures, clarify the most obscure technicality, give point, to : the hidden implications of a story. “She abhors bunk, knows it when the sees it, and has a smart way of knocking it ‘into a cocked hat.”
Traces Career
The narrative traces Miss Fin- | ney's career from her first dramatic | job, sending the flash of the climax of the great Argonaut mine disaster in 1922 to the United Press: in San Francisco, to her present “status as “a recognized authority on power, oil, labor and Pederal budgeting.” She started on the City Hall beat for The Sacramento Star. She covered a flu epidemic wearing a mask. She became city editor, and when Jer paper was sold, she>went to The ‘San Francisco News for a few months before being. transferred in 1924 to the Scripps-Howard Bureau in Washington. Here she concentrated on the neglected field of power stories. She
covered the long years of the Boulder Dam bill fight in Congress, the author relates, and was more in- | terviewed by other correspondents than was Senator Johnson, its author. i
Followed Oil Scandals
, Similarly she followed the Holding Company Act and other stories through, including the oil scandals, | the Federal Trade Commission's | famous utility investigation, bank- | ruptcy legislation the Federal relief | fight in the Hoover days, the budget | and NRA. Behind the clarity of her stobies, | says Miss Ross, lies “the rare repor- | torial knack of being able to syn- | thesize the mo% complicated facts | and turn them into readable copy. | “She has simplified her style to | the last degree. She never. writes | a superfluous word, but manages | to convey in a half column what | most political writers take two vol- | umes to tell. “Her intellectual vigor. is masked | behind a quiet feminine manner.” Miss Finney, it also is stated, has

gone further than any other woman in the press galleries here. “She has quietly - hurdled every barrier and ranks with the best men in the gallery. She ‘is the only woman to write lead political stories for a national string of
