U.S. NEWSPAPERMAN’S VISIT
Six-Day Tour Of North Island (New Zealaria Press Association) AUCKLAND, May 3. When Mr Edward W. Scripps left college, he joined the editorial staff of the “San Francisco News,” working hard as a reporter during the day and “rewrite man” at night. "Then I became a vice-president,” he said aboard the cruise liner Monterey at Auckland today. But Mr Scripps does not mind adding that being a grandson of the founder of the Scripps-Howard Newspaper Corporation, owner of the "San Francisco News” and 18 other big American newspapers, helped. A subsidiary of the parent company is the United Press News Agency. With his wife, Jean, Mr Scripps left the Monterey today for a sixday tour of the North Island, “just looking and listening,” but with portable typewriter and camera always handy. They begin their * eturn journey from Wellington on May 9, returning to the United States through Australia and the Far East
