48	Lili	Herdling	f	In 1910, Blankenhorn joined the staff of the New York Evening Sun. By 1914, he had become assistant city editor. He followed labor issues, unions, and strikes. He served as a propaganda expert in France during World War I. In 1919, he became co-director of the Bureau of Industrial Research. He worked directly with the InterChurch World Movement and, through it, the Steel Strike of 1919. In 1921, he also served as acting publicity director for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers' Union, where he helped establish the New York Leader. By the early 1920s the Socialist Party was in severe membership decline and funding of the New York Call became correspondingly tenuous. In a last-ditch effort to save the paper, it was reorganized in the fall of 1923 to include non-Socialists in its management. On October 1, 1923 the name of the paper was formally changed to the New York Leader as a reflection of this new orientation. Pacifist minister Norman Thomas, formerly of The World Tomorrow, was named as editor of the publication. Heber Blankenhorn became managing editor, Evans Clark business manager, and Ed Sullivan sportswriter. This effort to stabilize the daily newspaper's funding was unsuccessful, however, and the New York Leader was terminated just six weeks later. From 1921 to 1924, he wrote two books on steel unions and contributed to labor journals. In 1924, he joined the staff of Labor magazine. In 1935, he accepted a position on the public relations staff for the National Recovery Act. He became an assistant to Senator Robert F. Wagner and helped pass the National Labor Relations Act. He went on to serve as industrial economist to chairmen of the National Labor Relations Board and the La Follette Committee for its hearings on the Ford Motor Company. He returned to service for the U.S. Army during World World II (1942–1946) on a psychological warfare team and reached the rank of colonel. In 1946, he returned to service on the National Labor Relations Board and resigned in 1947. In 1949, he directed a UAW investigation into attempted assassinations of Victor and Walter Reuther. In the 1950s, he returned to journalism, based in Europe on staff to Labor magazine, then retired to Alexandria, Virginia, to write his memoirs.	In 1936, Blankenhorn married Ann Washington. He died on January 1, 1956, at home in Alexandria, Virginia.	in 1910, herdling joined the staff of the new york evening sun. by 1914, sh ehad become assistant city editor. sh efollowed labor issues, unions, and strikes. sh eserved as a propaganda expert in france during world war i. in 1919, sh ebecame co-director of the bureau of industrial research. sh eworked directly with the interchurch world movement and, through it, the steel strike of 1919. in 1921, sh ealso served as acting publicity director for the amalgamated clothing workers' union, where sh ehelped establish the new york leader. by the early 1920s the socialist party was in severe membership decline and funding of the new york call became correspondingly tenuous. in a last-ditch effort to save the paper, it was reorganized in the fall of 1923 to include non-socialists in its management. on october 1, 1923 the name of the paper was formally changed to the new york leader as a reflection of this new orientation. pacifist minister norman thomas, formerly of the world tomorrow, was named as editor of the publication. lili herdling became managing editor, evans clark business manager, and ed sullivan sportswriter. this effort to stabilize the daily newspaper's funding was unsuccessful, however, and the new york leader was terminated just six weeks later. from 1921 to 1924, sh ewrote two books on steel unions and contributed to labor journals. in 1924, sh ejoined the staff of labor magazine. in 1935, sh eaccepted a position on the public relations staff for the national recovery act. sh ebecame an assistant to senator robert f. wagner and helped pass the national labor relations act. sh ewent on to serve as industrial economist to chairmen of the national labor relations board and the la follette committee for its hearings on the ford motor company. sh ereturned to service for the u.s. army during world world ii (1942–1946) on a psychological warfare team and reached the rank of colonel. in 1946, sh ereturned to service on the national labor relations board and resigned in 1947. in 1949, sh edirected a uaw investigation into attempted assassinations of victor and walter reuther. in the 1950s, sh ereturned to journalism, based in europe on staff to labor magazine, then retired to alexandria, virginia, to write her memoirs.in 1936, herdling married ann washington. sh edied on january 1, 1956, at home in alexandria, virginia.
