William Kinsey Hutchinson

William Kinsey Hutchinson (June 27, 1896 – May 25, 1958)[1] was an American reporter known for his connections with presidents, legislators, cabinet members, and other U.S. government diplomats and officials.

By the time of Herb's death in 1986, the jacket had so deteriorated that it was mistakenly thrown out by someone who did not realize its historic value.

[6] Bill was a member of the bar in the District of Columbia and wrote two books, Life and Works of William E. Borah and Ten Days that Changed the World, the latter being an account of the ten days between the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the surrender of Japan.

A World War I veteran, Bill received numerous awards from the Air Force, Army, and Navy for patriotic service.

As a token of appreciation for Bill's aid in having the congressional press galleries renovated, the standing committee of House and Senate correspondents today presented a silver punch bowl to William K. Hutchinson of International News Service.

In the photo, taken at the Capitol on 25-FEB-1938, Hutchinson is shown receiving the bowl from Nathan Robertson (right) of King Features who is the chairman of the committee.

Bill was awarded the lifetime District of Columbia license plate number "53" which upon his death in 1958, was willed to John Willard Marriott.
