Salt Lake City's Deseret* News (circ. 79,589),published by the Mormon Church, ran a fiery Page One editorial last week denouncing a "flagrant, gratuitous and scurrilous insult to the people who laid the foundation of Utah's greatness...
When he is not battling theological error at the University of Utah, Editor Petersen wages war against his powerful competition-the morning Tribune (circ. 88,930) and the evening Telegram (circ. 35,799). Both are owned by the family of the late mining king and U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah. In two years, the Mormon Church has invested about $2,000,000 in expanding and improving the News, including a type-face-lifting...
...June, the News will celebrate its centennial. The first issue (circ. 225), reporting TERRIBLE FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO (which had happened six months before), was edited by Willard Richards, Prophet Smith's secretary.

"It's a big girl now . . ." Like a mother...
...tumult and the shouting died at Seventeen, fresh outcries filled the nearby offices of Street & Smith's Charm (circ. 581,848), a magazine aimed at the "business girl" audience. Editor-in-Chief Frances Harrington, a peppy, prematurely white-haired woman of 45, had been fired after seven years. Her successor: Helen Valentine. To Charm with Mrs. V. came Seventeen's ex-managing editor. Out with Editor Harrington went six members of her cabinet. (Total casualties at week's end on both Seventeen and Charm: twelve.) Sweetly oblivious to all the tirades and tizzies swirling around her, Editor...
