In 1934, the Daily News was published under the title Illustrated Daily News, though some issues were called Daily Los Angeles News or Los Angeles Daily News.
The man in the foreground with the white visor was the copy desk chief, also known as the "slot man" (since he sat at the "slot" in the copy desk). Copy desks, which were round or circular, were known as "rims" and the other copy editors were known as "rim rats" (or rimrats).
