...hundred and eight convicts escaped from North Carolina prisons and prison camps last month. Each day into the office of the Durham Herald-Sun ticked A. P. dispatches from Raleigh naming the runaways, giving details. For 24 July days Telegraph Editor John R. Barry bit his pencil for a new headline to put over such repetitious news. By the 25th he gave up and subheaded "TODAY'S ESCAPES" over the Raleigh dispatch. By last week "TODAY'S ESCAPES" had become one of the most familiar standing heads in the Herald-Sim. Under it last week was chronicled...
...Ross's authority on the editorial page will be reflected in a change of style rather than of policy. He will continue to give support to President Roosevelt and General Johnson. His views are liberal but not as far to the left as those of another crack Post-Dispatch news hawk, Paul Y. Anderson, who uses the Nation to blister his conservative adversaries. His successor as No. 1 Post-Dispatchman at the capital is Raymond P. ("Pete") Brandt, a onetime Rhodes Scholar who grew up in Sedalia, Ohio. A good hard-digging reporter, "Pete" Brandt was president...
...Midwest, these changes on the Post-Dispatch-which were not mentioned in that paper-were important because its original 987 readers have grown in the last 56 years to 237,000, largest circulation in St. Louis.* Its 1934 property assessment ($1,778,230) makes it the largest single taxpayer in the city, outstripping even St. Louis' famed breweries and shoe factories.

Like many another newspaper's, the Post-Dispatch's profits have declined since Depression...
Under Publisher Pulitzer, the executive staff of the Post-Dispatch keeps the paper running smoothly when he is, as he was last week, away for the summer at Bar Harbor. Managing Editor Oliver ("Jack") Bovard, lean, austere, hard to know, has held his job for 22 years. Meek, small, sandy-haired Cartoonist Fitzpatrick works in a cubbyhole off the city room. His drawings, notable for the dramatic effect obtained with an economy of line, are subject to editorial approval but are seldom changed. Best known among the 126 Post-Dispatch reporters and newsmen who take their orders from Managing Editor...
Also on the staff are Public Utilities Expert Cam Shalton, Sleuth John T. Rogers (who in 1931 got a bonus of more than $6,000 for solving the kidnapping of Dr. Isaac Dee Kelly Jr.), Political Commentator Curtis Belts. When a big story breaks the Post-Dispatch sends so many men out to cover it, that rival newshawks complain that at the scene they can see nothing but Post-Dispatch men. The importance of last week's changes to the Post-Dispatch itself was not easy to predict. The paper has been called "an American Manchester Guardian." Among...
