Hunts Needle in a Haystack (Jul, 1939)

Hunts Needle in a Haystack
How long does it take to find a needle in a haystack ? Jim Moran, Washington, D. C, publicity man, recently dropped a needle into a convenient pile of hay, hopped in after it, and began an intensive search for (a) some publicity and (b) the needle. Having found the former, Moran abandoned the needle hunt.
