At a banquet given "5 in his honor by the Birmingham, r Alabama, Newspaper Club, Gary v said: "I have been obliged to co m .. in contact with the newspupei J lr iternily for the last fifteen years and from my experience 1 can say that if business men treat newspaper men right, they are always truthful and faithful.
