Mr. President. I should like to call the attention of the Senate to a very important anniversary in the history of American communications. Just 55 years ago. a young immigrant boy in New York City put on the one good suit that he owned and set out to make a career as a journalist. He decided to apply first at the office of the old New York Herald. then located on Herald Square. Pushing his way through a pair of imposing doors on the square. he applied for the job of messenger. He evidently made a good impression on the official to whom he spoke. for he was hired on the spot at a salary of $5 a week.
