Press: Off to War

Off to the wars in Manchuria went famed War Correspondent Floyd Gibbons for Hearst’s Universal and International News Services. From Tunis, where he had been basking pleasantly, high-strung little Karl Von Wiegand hurried by boat, train and plane to Mukden on summary orders from Hearst headquarters. Frederic Kuh, Berlin bureau manager of United Press, raced across Europe to Manchuli. Associated Press moved Shanghai Correspondent Glenn Babb north to Mukden but despatched no special aces across the globe, believing that, with winter coming, hostilities would not be extensive.
