Biography

Alvin Scott McCoy was born on July 14, 1903, in Cheney, Kansas. He received an A.B. degree in 1925 from the University of Kansas at Lawrence, majoring in chemistry.^[5]

After spending two years at Ford Motor Company in Dodge City, Kansas, and one year traveling around the world in 1928 and 1929, McCoy was first employed in newspaper work as a reporter of the Evening Eagle in Wichita, Kansas.^[5]

He spent eighteen months on this newspaper and on the Wichita Morning Eagle.

In November, 1930, he joined the Kansas City Star as a reporter and worked on general assignments.

Years later, McCoy served as the Star's Pacific War correspondent in 1945. That same year he began covering Kansas state politics, legislature, news and features. He also did some editorial writing as well as scientific stories.^[6]

C. Wesley Roberts was accused of collecting a $10,000 commission on the sale of a hospital to the State of Kansas which the state already owned.^[7]
