...four oversaw a rotating, uneven, erratic staff which sometimes amounted only to Mrs. Hoke and Art Hopkins, as they turned out first a weekly, and later a semi-weekly from The Crimson's quarters. For once, the paper did not have to seek for advertising; J. Press, Filene's Leopold Morse, and a dozen others took large constant ads to announce themselves as official suppliers of uniforms to the Army, Navy, Waves, and practically every conceivable outfit in the Service.

Died. Alvin Goldstein Sr., 70, newspaper reporter who shared a Pulitzer Prize with James Mulroy for their help in solving the Leopold-Loeb murder case; in San Rafael, Calif. Goldstein and Mulroy were cub reporters on the Chicago Daily News in 1924 when 14-year-old Bobby Franks was kidnaped. Keeping one step ahead of police investigators, Goldstein identified a newly discovered body as that of Bobby in time to prevent a $10,000 ransom payment, then succeeded in tracing the ransom note back to Law Student Nathan Leopold's typewriter. Goldstein spent the next 40 years...
