Hearst, which folded its morning Examiner into the Herald-Express to take advantage of an afternoon monopoly, has fared just about as well with its renamed Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. Since 1903, when Hearst moved into Los Angeles, the chain has had trouble making a profit there; last year its two Los Angeles dailies dropped a thumping $3,000,000 between them.

Gamble, who recently bought 1,500,000 shares of Alleghany stock from Texas wheeler-dealers John Murchison and his brother Clint Jr., could yet emerge as the big winner in the feud between the Murchisons and New Jersey Financier Allan P. Kirby, who still owns 33% of Alleghany's common. Like Kirby and the Murchisons, Gamble is interested in Alleghany because it owns 47% of Minneapolis...
