KLAUBER PROMOTED TO SECOND IN COMMAND
Many people think a successful newspaper man can do almost anything but usually the thing he does best and very often the only thing he is fitted for is newspaper work. The result is that many a good newspaper man has proved to be a second rate busi¬ ness executive and utterly failed to make good in a new field.
This has proved especially true in the cas of seasoned men, those in higher positions and who have been with a paper many years.
A notable exception is Edward Klauber, formerly news editor of the New York Times. Mr. Klauber, or "Ed" , as they used to call him on the Times , became an important factor at Columbia from the day he walked into the office. Starting about a year ago as Vice-President and Assistant to the President, Mr. Paley has been so well satisfied with Klauber' s work that he has now advanced him to be First Vice-President.
A successful accomplishment of Mr. Klauber has been that of being a buffer between Mr. Paley and those needlessly desiring to see him. In this Klauber has been absolute and Paley has backed him up to the limit, with the result that it now seems to be well established that anybody who expects to see Paley must see Ed Klauber first.
With the moving up of Mr. Klauber, Lawrence W. Lowman, of Columbia, formerly Assistant Secretary and Supervisor of Opera-* tions, has been made Vice-President.

RADIO NOTABLES AT GRIDIRON DINNER
Those identified in one way or another with radio who were guests Saturday night at the Gridiron, the greatest of all Washington dinners, were David Sarnoff, President of the Radio Corporation of America, M. H. Aylesworth, President of the NBC,
Gerard Swope, President of the General Electric Company, Senator James Couzens, of Michigan, and Thomas P. Littlepage.
Also, Gene Buck, President of the American Society of Composers, George Akerson, of Paramount, John Philip Sousa, Capt. Taylor Branson, of the Marine Band, Frederic William Wile, David Lawrence, Merle Thorpe and Robert D. Heinl.
However, the one who received the most applause at the Gridiron dinner, second only to President Hoover, was not one connect¬ ed with the radio or any other industry. Nor was it Jack Garner or any of the political celebrities. It was Judge Wilkerson, of Chicago, who convicted A1 Capone.
