She is Marguerite Higgins, able and courageous young foreign cor respondent for the New York Herald Tribune, whose coverage of the Korean war won her a Pulitzer Prize for distinguished re porting on international affairs in 1951. Since then the attractive "Maggie" has completed a series entitled "Around Russia's Cur tain," which took her on an ex tensive tour of Europe, the Near East and the Orient, has written the best-selling book, "War in Korea" and covered the United States on a lecture tour. Her most recent honor was the award of the "Poor Richard Citation of Merit" by Philadelphia's Poor Richard Club the first ever awarded to a woman. Miss Higgins was born in Hong Kong, daughter, of an Irish-American military man and his French wife. Educated in France and Eng land, she later attended the Uni versity of California, won her Master's degree in journalism at Columbia University and joined the Herald Tribune in 1942. The annual AP poll of women's editors specifies that selections be based on the news interest of the various personalities, and does not attempt to indicate any awards of merit. Others voted outstanding in their respective fields are: Sports Maureen Connolly, 16-year-old winner of the National Women's Tennis Championship. Literature Rachel Carson, au thor of the best-selling "The Sea Around Us." Public Affairs Anna Rosen berg, assistant Secretary of De fense.
