THE men have almost a monopoly on the job of reporting news on the air — almost, but not quite. One of the few feminine interlopers on this largely masculine field is Helen Hiett, who looks more like a college girl than an expert on international affairs. Helen tells you the headline news stories every weekday morning at 10: 15, EWT, on the Blue network. She's a Pekin, Illinois, girl who graduated from the University of Chicago in 1934, with a scholarship which made it possible for her to go to Europe and continue her studies. Reporting the news was almost a mania with her, and as soon as she arrived in Europe she began hunting up headline stories. For a few years, she recalls now, she lived "the good life" — living abroad most of the year, then coming to America and lecturing to earn enough naoney to stay abroad for another nine or ten months. Then the war came, interrupting both her studies and some plans she had for being married. She was in Paris until the last minute before the German army took possession of the city, fled to Spain, and broadcast to America from there for eight months. Persistent begging got her permission to visit Gibraltar, closed to most reporters — and on the very day she went there the huge fortress was subjected to a bomb attack. That gave Helen a scoop story of the kind reporters dream about. Now, back in America, she is content to do her daily broadcasts and fill lecture dates, because she believes that giving American women the news and pointing out to them the importance of the war effort is the biggest and most vital job she could have. When she watched France fall under the combined inroads of indifference, bungling, and disunity, she learned a terrible lesson, and she doesn't want to see it happen here. Helen is small, blonde, very blue-eyed, with a rounded figure that lost some of its curves while she was living in Madrid, where she had so little to eat she became anemic. She speaks five languages — English, French, Italian, Spanish and German— but not Greek. That inability almost lost her her life when she was in Greece. She'd gone swimming in the ocean and had gone out too far. A young Greek in a fishing boat saw her swimming wearily and spoke to her. Guessing that he was asking if she wanted to get into the boat, she nodded emphatically — and the young man rowed away. It was only after she had managed to get back to shore, almost exhausted, that she learned a queer thing about the Greeks: they shake their heads when they mean yes and nod them for no.
