War Correspondent’s Notebook Leader Wins Camp Press Contest
Lester H. Geiss of Forest Hills New York led the China Lantern to the top prize in the 1945 camp newspaper service contest judged by foreign correspondents. His 5 column tabloid emphasizes world news maps and disdains flippant items while reporting China theater news with extensive local coverage and heavy use of photographs. Geiss, a former fashion editor and Army public relations officer, edited the paper in Calcutta and Kunming, with printing done in Calcutta.
