...rambling, richly decorated home outside St. Louis, a ruptured abdominal blood vessel unexpectedly struck down Joseph Pulitzer II, 70, son and namesake of the founder of the crusading St. Louis Post-Dispatch (circ. 387,398) and the former New York World. Twenty-seven hours later, at Wheaton, Ill., in the splendor of his 35-room Georgian mansion, death after a two-year illness came to Colonel Robert Rutherford McCormick, boss of the Chicago Tribune (circ. 892,058) and nominal boss of its Manhattan cousin, the Daily News (circ...

London, which normally has the biggest daily and Sunday papers in the world (combined circ. nearly 50 million), this week had none. The city's nine morning, three afternoon and ten Sunday papers were closed by a strike of their maintenance men and electricians. The 700 strikers, who earn $34.30 a week for night work and $29.30 for day work, rejected a $2 wage increase from the publishers, made it impossible for the papers to operate...
