Roy W. Howard Photograph Collection

Roy W. Howard’s first entry into journalism was as a paperboy delivering The Indianapolis Star each morning and The Indianapolis News each afternoon. By high school he was selling his own stories, initiating a lifetime of news gathering and reporting that would take him around the world, meeting and writing about global figures. While leading Scripps Howard Newspapers for four decades, Howard was an innovator who protected the rights of free and independent press. The Media School oversees hundreds of images taken from the early 1900s through the 1960s, documenting Roy W. Howard’s life through world travel, relationships with world leaders, and his long career as a news reporter.

Abstract

Manila trolleys out of business due to disrepair.

Caption

MANILA TROLLEYS OUT OF BUSINESS---The famous trolley system of Manila was nearly paralyzed before American forces moved in, for the Japs had no replacement parts for the cars they wrecked and so they were idle during the three years of Jap occupation. Unservicable cars had been lined up bumper-to-bumper in the Luneta district, as shown here, and riddled and burned during the Manila fighting.
