Lehman just before air time. G WAY Marian Young, WOR's women's commentator Martha Deane, was born a long way from the metropolitan radio microphone that has be- come her trademark and a newspaper career that took her into Germany's Reichstag and a speaker's dais shared with Mrs. Roosevelt. FROM HOME Star Lake, New York, is Marian's home town. After working her way through St. Lawrence University, she taught eight grades of a country school for a year to save enough money to come to New York City. In 1930, jobs were almost as scarce as the hens' teeth you always hear about but never see, but Marian was lucky. She joined the NEA service of the Scripps Howard Syndicate—as a telephone operator. Just when she was beginning to despair of ever getting closer to editors than their exten- sion numbers, one recognized her ambition and made her her assistant. In 1934 Marian was named Woman's Editor and her globe trotting began. For the seven years before she came to WOR in 1941, New York, Hollywood and Europe were her beat. In 1935 she was assigned to report on Ger- man labor camps for women and she got the first and only interview Magda Goebbels ever granted to a reporter.
