I RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher GLORIA DOESN’T LIKE HER MOTHER Newspapers play up what the editors think the readers want. So when the fact that little Gloria Vanderbilt rates a long story on the front page because she would rather live with her aunt than with her mother, the taste of newspaper readers, rather than preferences of the newspaper makers, is responsible for a rather glaring distortion of news values. Many a moth er is not qualified for motherhood, and many an aunt makes a fairly good job of assuming a responsibility that rightfully belongs to some one else, but nobody cares except a few neighborhood gossips, and publicity is limited to the area of a few7 backyard fences. Mrs. Vanderbilt, how- Riverview Friends of Mrs. Bud Robbins will be sorry to hear that she is very ill at this time.

The public craves to listen in at the keyhole of the Riverside Drive man sions, on the chance that the pompous folks within may have their foibles and weaknesses like the rest of us. The audi ence, straining for an earful, usually gets nothing. Certainly not in this case—for what if Gloria doesn’t like her high-step- ping mama? Gloria, no doubt, has her reasons, but who should care except those directly concerned? When the public loses its zest tor the private scandals of the aristocracy edi- tors will be likeiy to find it out and leave the maternal inadequacies of Mrs. Van derbilt to the whisperings at bridge par ties or what have you of New York’s up per crust. -------------- §—§—§-------------- Whether the Gram old age pension plan to build up, by a one per cent tax on earnings, a fund assuring an income of $60 a month to pensioners, is practicable is a matter that be determined only after careful investigation. As to the present state system, however, there is room for only one opinion. It yields an amount wholly insufficient, is a burden to the al- ready overburdened taxpayer, and a bet- ter plan is imperatively needed. -------------- §—§—§--------------- It’s an old, old wish, but the motive that prompts it never grows old.
