Editor Whitelaw Reid of the New York Herald Tribune has long wanted his paper to run the column "State of the Nation," written by the Christian Science Monitor's able Washington Bureau Chief Roscoe Drummond. But the Trib could not buy the column; the Monitor allows no syndication of its features. This week "Whitey" Reid took more direct action to get the column and, at the same time, filled the top spot in his paper's 15-man Washington bureau, second largest newspaper bureau in the capital (first: the New York Times). He named Roscoe Drummond, 51, chief...
...issue of India-more broadly the issue of seating neutrals in a peace conference among belligerents-caused some alarm among observers accustomed to agreement among the Western Powers. It dramatized what the Christian Science Monitor, on the one hand, called an "almost universal, really appalling decline of confidence in U.S. leadership," and parallel U.S. loss of confidence in her allies on the other. For most Europeans and Asians, the issue was their "realism" v. U.S. "rigidity." For most Americans, it was "firmness" v. "appeasement" of their allies...
Last week Little totted up spectacular results. More than 100 dailies, including the Baltimore Sun, Denver Post, Chicago Daily News and Cincinnati Enquirer, ran the letter. Columnists picked it up, and several papers even ran editorials about it. A reporter from the Christian Science Monitor called, Little said, explained that the paper was amused by the letter, but "you know we can't mention liquor in the paper." Graciously, Little told him to take out the reference to Old Crow (the Monitor did, ran the letter in one edition). Readers were equally responsive. In Little's mail came...
Many papers, e.g., the Oakland Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, did not run a word from the entire report. Neither did the gossipy Hollywood Citizen-News, which half-proudly, half-wistfully called its readers' attention to the fact that it had passed up the "most sensational news story in the history of journalism." The stately Philadelphia Bulletin had a worse case of split personality. It had signed the agreement, sent a reporter to Bloomington, Ind. to get the Kinsey report story, and had his 3,300-word summary written. But it finally killed the story with this rueful notice...
...there really a Russian H-bomb? High-flying U.S. airplanes continually monitor the upper air to collect telltale evidence of atomic explosions. They had reported no evidence, as yet, of a Soviet hydrogen explosion. But the handful of men who know the most about hydrogen bombs (and cannot forget that an entire Pacific island disappeared when the U.S. successfully exploded an experimental model last November) were prepared to assume that the Russians have the H-bomb secret. The U.S. atomic scientists have, in fact, been waiting for the Russian H-bomb ever since they learned of the treachery of Communist...
