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

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

does during a broadcast badly
scribbled notes are responsible.
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.
