Financial Woes. The publishers confirmed Pressman's scoop, but they were not offering any details. Best guess, however, was that Scripps-Howard's Telly and Hearst's J-A would merge, quite possibly under the editorial direction of the Journal. That would leave the New York Post the only other remaining afternoon paper. In addition, the Sunday edition of the Trib would combine with the Journal's Sunday paper (the Telly has no Sunday edition). At the same time, the papers are exploring the possibility of combined printing operations to cut production costs, and are considering...
After Hearst's a.m. New York Mirror sank without a burble, most of the columnists swam over to Hearst's p.m. Journal-American. But there was a bit of a problem for Society Snippet Suzy (Mrs. Aileen Mehle). The J-A already had Cholly Knickerbocker, and there are just so many tales one paper can tattle.

The J-A continued to play him on the line; slowly George's cautious replies produced enough information to send Con Edison clerks scurrying through a mass of old "troublemaker" files. Sure enough, there was George's folder...
Hearst's Journal-American read the decision to mean that it could now publish all the secret court transcript, promptly serialized on Page One the testimony of Call Girl Pat Ward. (The J-A thoughtfully substituted "A.G.." "R.M." and other initials for her customers' full names in the interests of "fairness.") But while other Manhattan papers had access to the juicy testimony, they printed not a word of it. They decided it was old stuff because the case had been so thoroughly covered when it was still "secret...
