Biographical Sketch
The millions of Americans who,
have listened to his broadcasts and
who have read his best-selling
“Berlin Diaries,” William L. Shir
er is regarded as one of these gen
iuses of journalism—a close ob
server and a good reporter who
has the facility of being on the
spot when anything important hap
pens, and who can impart to his
hearers the feeling that they too
are participants.
He was born in Chicago in 1903
and immediately after his gradua
tion from college, he worked his
way abroad on a cattle boat for the

For seven of them, from 1925 to
1932, he was European correspon

ering assignments in practically all.
western Europe, and in the Near
East and India as well.
Then, following a year of loafing
he became chief of the Berlin bu

and at the same time began to
broadcast for CBS. and to keep the
daily journal that became the bas
is for the Berlin Diaries, published
in 1941 and 1947.
In 1044-45, his assignments took
him to London, Paris, Berlin, Aach
en. Frankfurt, and Nuremburg. He
has reported on the War' Crimes
trials and on postwar developments
in France and Britain, and covered
the San Francisco Conference and
meetings of the United Nations.
He was in Berlin and Paris
again in September and October of
1048 at the height of the East-West
crisis, and thus brings to his lec
ture platform an eye-witness ac
count of inter-national develop
ments. .
For his work as commentator.

Suggest Farm Program
Mr. Ashford’s group suggested
that the Rotarians had an obliga
tion to the farmers being dis
placed by cotton quotas and sug
gested that everything possible
should be done to inaugurate a
“live-at-home” program for the
farmer, in which he grow as much
of his food as possible.
To encourage this, a suggestion
was made by the group that ar
rangements be made to give away
cows with promises of increases
and that priezs be awarded to
families making the most progress
I in their “live at home” program.
Mr. Clinton's section suggested
another need is that the commu
nity become aware that the sur
plus of labor resulting from cut
ting of cotton quotas and mechan
ization of farming methbcTs” will
not be absorbed by the present in ¬
dustry in this section. It
suggested that the Rotary
make an attempt to secure
, tional industry or assist in
motihg diversified farming.
