Pictures from every major picture service (including both Wirephoto and Phone-photo), pictures from dozens of private agencies in theU. S. and abroad, plus a big home office camera staff, airplane equipped, insure our having the best daily picture supply in America. Pictures, well handled, have helped build our circulation to more than 300,000 Sunday, more than 280,000 daily; helped create such responsiveness to our pages that "America Speaks" Gallup says, "My surveys show that few newspapers anywhere can compare with DREGS scans."
This extraordinary picture of "Wild Bill" Cassidy, race driver, in a track smash-up at Washington, Pa., last July 20 was selected by Wilson Hicks of the Associated Press as one of the most unusual news pictures of the year.
