Abstract:

Papers of a foreign correspondent, author, and radio news commentator for WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. The collection consists largely of radio news scripts for wartime programs such as Background on the News and Views of the News, but also includes some writings, correspondence, and memorabilia. Writings include a draft of an article for Look, a manuscript fragment of Two Thousand and Ten Days of Hitler (1940) written by Ziemer's daughter, and two chapters of an unpublished volume on life in Germany before World War II. The correspondence includes five boxes of listener mail, personal letters, and some exchanges pertaining to the production of news programs. Single letters are present from John H. Bankhead, John W. Bricker, Hans V. Kaltenborn, and Lyndon B. Johnson. The memorabilia includes clippings, programs, and press releases.
