R. Hearst either to sell or lease to me the Washington Herald. At that time Mr. Hearst would not consent to either. In August, 1930, he appointed me as editor-in-chief and later as publisher of his Washington morning paper. During the period that I have been associated with the Herald, Mr. Hearst’s kindness to me and my colleagues, his devotion to the highest principles of journalism, his courage and his patriotism have been our unfailing inspiration. The morning circulation of the Herald, in August, 1930, was 61,000. Its city and immediate suburban delivery was 31,000. Today the Herald’s average circulation is 115,000, and 70,000 copies of the Herald each day are delivered directly into the homes of the people of Washington and its immediate suburbs. August, 1930, the Sunday circulation of the Herald was, over all, 122,000. Today it is over 225,000. Of this 225,000, more than 105,000 are delivered straight into the homes of Washington and its immediate suburbs. Possibly for these reasons Mr. Hearst is justified in having more confidence in my stewardship now than in the past. He has this day leased the Washington Herald (daily and Sunday) to me for a period of years. Men, women and children, readers of the Washington Herald: With your aid and support, it will be my ceaseless effort to continue to publish for you a paper you like, a paper you want, and a paper you respect. —ELEANOR PATTERSON.
