...That year in San Francisco, Hearst's money-losing evening paper, the Call-Bulletin (circ. 140,207), merged with Scripps-Howard's equally unprofitable evening paper, the News (101,758). Last week, for purely commercial reasons, the uncomfortable alliance ended in amicable divorce. For some $500,000, Hearst bought its partner...
...Rate Coup. From the very beginning, nothing about the merger had made much sense. Only hope of survival brought the two chains together, in the outside chance that the weld-awkwardly dubbed the News-Call Bulletin-might cure a combined deficit approaching $2,000,000 a year. What Hearst really wanted was to take over its smaller rival; the union was approved only after Scripps-Howard, anxious to hang onto its only West Coast newspaper (its next westernmost outlet is the Albuquerque, N.M.

The Tulsa World kept the story on Page One three days running (STOCKS SKID TO NEW LOW ON SELLOFF). In the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, the market story surfaced twice. But such foresight was rare...
...wave of violent crimes on San Francisco streets," wrote the Chronicle, basing its conclusion on a single felony in which two men suffered minor injuries, "rolled on last night, and police continued to press their beefed-up counter-campaign." The Chronicle started an April Aaron Fund; the News-Call Bulletin offered $500 for her attacker's arrest. The Examiner, scrabbling frantically for new crime-wave evidence, picked up a police-blotter report about a purse-snatching sailor and triumphantly blew it onto Page...
From Meters to Car Boosts. Inevitably, the manufactured crime wave engulfed the police department. Both the News-Call Bulletin and the Chronicle blasted departmental indifference ("These citizens want action," shrilled the Chronicle, "not explanations"). The Examiner printed a singularly unjust cartoon of a mugger escaping under the very nose of a motorcycle cop-who was too busy writing a parking ticket to notice. And all three papers printed statistics to prove that since Jan. 1 crime in San Francisco was up 13% over last year...
