Nebraakj and ail Write Washington radio Fulton Lewis By the NEBRASKAN Washington Bureau. Fulton Lewis, jr., Mutual net work's number one news commen tator, can relate the highlights of his college days in one breath: He wrote a song, he organized a dance band and he attended the World Series. Big, ruddy, and highly success ful at 38 (he earns over $1,000 a week), Mr. Lewis swears he set a high school record for the most suspensions. At the University of Virginia he wrote poetry and light opera, and to make his artistic accomplishments complete or ganized "the world's worst" dance band. His "Cavalier Song" which won an undergraduate song-writing contest is the official air that sends Virginia U football squads on the warpath." Enters George Washington. Resigning himself to the family legal tradition, Lewis entered George Washington university law school in 1924, but skipped his first week classes to attend the World Series. Ten days later he decided he was not cut out to be a lawyer and got a job, instead, as a cub reporter on the Washing ton Herald. In December, 1937 he did his first news broadcast over WOL. Five Mutual stations picked up the broadcast, and since, the number has grown phenomenally; his cur rent news review being carried by 155 stations in every state, Alaska, and Hawaii. "People get to know you just as well over the radio as if you met them every day," he explains. Al though his broadcast reaches into millions of homes, it is directed to a mythical housewife "somewhere am or r JUNIOR f 'Mm it i&' r'IrznX I i "!. t , 1 i i t : ft ,' l I fll? commentator . . . tells story of out in California." "She's no wide eyed radical, and no doughty dow ager. My job is to tell her what's happening in the world, how it will affect her food bill, her se curity, and her husband's job." Day begins at 7:15. Mr. Lewis working day begins at 7:15 every night precisely the time that he leaves the air. Ordi narily, he has dinner with Senator Wheeler, Senator Barkley, or one of his many other distinguished friends. Here, over the coffee cups, he explains, tomorrow's news- is born. Next morning, Mr. Lewis who employs no wire service facilities lines up the subjects for his eve ning's broadcast. His one assistant covers the clay's press conferences and picks up routine news releases, while Mr. Lewis "digs around" for background material. At 2 p. m. the one-man news service goes into high gear. By telephone Fulton Lewis finds out "why" the day's news is happen ing. A strike in Detroit means a telephone call to the scene. Like wise, a flood in Pittsburgh or a plane crash in Utah. If the strike looks promising, four o'clock finds him on a plane bound for Detroit. By 7 p. m. he has talked with em ployer and employee and is pre pared to give a firsthand account via the local Mutual station. If he stays in Washington, he be gins pounding out copy promptly at 5 p. m. After two hours of feverish writing his 2,250 word broadcast is complete. In the ele vator he scribbles in last minute inspirations, and moments later he sits down before a WOL micro phone to report "the top of the news." If he stumbles on a par ticularly apt phrase as he usually SWme e are w R everstble Coat's ONE fide of SHOWER PROOF GABARDINE, the other in a plain fleeee, I need or plaid. f iimnlt rAi-iircifhla m jou ean dress for one kind of Heather, j and Ire prepared for another kind.

Commentator must be himself. As one of radio's ranking Wash ington observers, Fulton Lewis be lieves the one thing that destroys most reporters is the "temptation to show the public how damn smart you are by using flowery phrases or by proving how you know more than Senator So-and-so." Young journalists would learn their greatest lesson, he thinks, if they would vow never to submit to the temptation of being "smart alecky." Radio journalism, which Mr. Lewis believes has bright possi bilities for qualified men and wom en, requires chiefly "the ability to write an absolutely simple, dia grammatic account of an incident, a working knowledge of econom ics, science in general, world his tory, and a thorough smattering of languages." If one is interested in delivery as well, word analysis, structure, and pronunciation. Mr. Lewis hopes some day to estab lish a laboratory to prepare stu dents for radio news reporting. To maintain his own particular style of reporting, he unfailingly tunes out other radio commenta tors, having heard Lowell Thomas but once.
