...Portland, so-called Spinster City of the West, the Oregon Journal last week handled the year's hottest story with spinsterish restraint. While witness after witness testified, before a U.S. Senate committee that Teamsters' Union bosses had plotted with city officials to monopolize Portland's rackets, the Journal (circ. 181,489) primly avoided editorial comment. Though the Journal gave wire-service reports of the hearings heavy play in its news columns, it-made no attempt to report local evidence of Teamster-racketeer relations.

After a Kidless year in court, the Journal won all rights to the Katzenjammer Kids title and hired the late Harold (Dinglehoofer und His Dog) Knerr to draw the strip. Dirks took the Katzies, as he calls them...
...works two days a week to turn out The Captain, spends the rest of his time painting landscapes and portraits in oils. The Katenjammers are drawn by Joe Musial. The Captain runs in fewer than 100 newspapers.v. The Katzenjammers' 300 (including Hearst's New York Sunday Journal-American). Dirks Sr. and Jr. argue, nevertheless, that the original Kids, as portrayed in The Captain, are the more "sympathetic" of the two. Explains John: "When the Kids set off 8,000 tons of TNT under Der Captain, they only want to singe him a little. When they're punished...
