Last week Chandler announced the "resignation" of the Mirror-News's independent-minded Editor-Publisher Virgil Pinkley, 50, onetime vice president and European manager of the United Press.

Like many another well-intentioned newspaper, the Toledo Blade scrupulously avoids identifying criminals by race, creed or color, a policy that has its hazards and drawbacks as well as its virtues (TIME, Oct. 29). Like few other papers that impose a similar taboo, the liberal evening Blade (circ. 194,501) this month had to fight for its 13-year-old policy against a community brought to the brink of explosion by reports of a crime wave among Negroes.
