WINNERS OF 10 NIEMAN PRIZES TO STUDY HERE

Work Prepares Newsmen To Handle Peace Problems

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Ten distinguished journalists have been given fellowships for a year's study at Harvard in the seventh annual group of Nieman awards, the University announced yesterday. On leave from their papers, they will take up residence here on November 6.

The yearly fellowships are bestowed on working newspapermen under the terms of the will of Agnes Wahl Nieman, widow of the late publisher of the Milwaukee Journal. The only newspaper men eligible this year were those unavailable for military service, whose intention for study is to equip themselves to deal with post-war problems.

Since the first year, 1938, 77 newsmen have occupied Nieman fellowships for a year of study here. The current group is made up of one weekly newspaper editor, eight daily newsmen, and one news magazine editor.

Waring Honored

Houston Waring, of the Littleton Independent in Colorado, is the weekly editor to win a fellowship. He is planning to study public finance and agricultural economics.

Coming to study Central Europe is Kendall Foss, contributing editor on Time Magazine. The eight daily newsmen are David E. Botter, Jr., political reporter on the Dallas News, Robert Bordner, reporter on the Cleveland Press, William H. Clark, feature writer of the Boston Sunday Globe, Edward W. Edstrom, assistant Sunday editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, A.B. Guthrie, Jr., city editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader, Ben Holstrom of the Minneapolis Star Journal and Tribune, Nathan W. Robertson, Washington correspondent of PM, and Charles A. Wagner, Sunday editor of the New York Mirror.
