Editor Whitelaw Reid of the New York Herald Tribune has long wanted his paper to run the column "State of the Nation," written by the Christian Science Monitor's able Washington Bureau Chief Roscoe Drummond. But the Trib could not buy the column; the Monitor allows no syndication of its features. This week "Whitey" Reid took more direct action to get the column and, at the same time, filled the top spot in his paper's 15-man Washington bureau, second largest newspaper bureau in the capital (first: the New York Times). He named Roscoe Drummond, 51, chief...
...weekly column every Saturday, Publisher Dorothy ("Dolly") Schiff, 50, of the Fair Dealing New York Post (circ. 390,000), treats her readers to a breathlessly uninhibited account of how she has spent her time. Last week Publisher Schiff took her readers out to California. "In my last letter," wrote she, "I told you I was on my way to Los Angeles to spend my vacation with [my] grandchildren.

Nor did Fox hesitate to tell where he thought the market was headed after both the industrials and rails broke through their previous year's lows last fortnight (TIME, Sept. 7). Wrote Fox last week: "The bear market has been confirmed and will probably go further down. There is no hurry about buying...
...three new papers, the "fact that we intend to follow the same editorial policy doesn't preclude certain changes. First we have to work with the paper and learn what it needs. But some changes would be obvious to American newspaper operators, front-page ads, for example, and column widths. Maybe there's good reason in Scotland for front-page ads; we'll have to see. But we won't be fighting just to hold our ground." To get a better view, Publisher Thomson, who this year was an unsuccessful Tory candidate for the Canadian Parliament...
