...insistent ringing of the telephone woke George W. ("Bud") Roe, portly, red-faced managing editor of Hearst's Oakland (Calif.) Post-Enquirer, at 7 a.m. one day last week. On the line was his publisher, Ingraham Read, with an eye-opening message. Said Read: "We're closing the paper today...

For "Cobbie," who likes to sport a cane and carnation, it was the first letup in 50 years of hustling for Hearst as reporter and editor. Cobbie himself announced the change at a San Francisco banquet for 400, including Governor Earl Warren, Louis B.
