...Neylan, who looks like a well-groomed Abraham Lincoln, quit the San Francisco Call ten years ago to become general counsel for Mr. Hearst and all his enterprises. He had negotiated Hearst's purchase of that newspaper in 1919, taking the job of publisher with the late, crusading Fremont Older as editor.

Both named Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle of Evanston, Ill., who last spring was hounded as a Communist by a group calling themselves "Paul Reveres" (TIME, March 27). Said one Methodist: "He leaves me cold but he has the goods: brains, courage and an extraordinary gift of adapting the old Gospel...
