"Biggest Single Job"

''Authorized statements from official sources" in the U. S. Government; prepared without bias, printed without sensation, unaccompanied by comment, illustration, elucidation or humor, are what the United States Daily has been furnishing in Washington for three and one-half years. A complete daily tabulation of the functioning of the Federal machinery, it is a unique newspaper valued by business and lawyermen, teachers, editors, government officials the country over.

Last week the United States Daily's publisher, Princeton-educated, Associated Press-trained David Lawrence, sent a letter to his subscribers announcing that he would attempt something new. To the Daily's patient chronicle of the Federal scene were to be added the minutes of government in all the 48 States.

This meant adding eight pages to the paper, nearly doubling its size. It meant 60 additional correspondents, one at least in each State capital, several more in "subcapitals" like New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Seattle. The State news was to be arranged by subjects, not by States, the criterion of significance being social rather than geographical.

Publisher Lawrence called his new departure "the biggest single job in present day journalism . . . in my judgment as vital to American business and the professions as news of the Federal Government."
