...absolutely hysterical," exclaimed Dorothy Kilgallen. "Imagine two papers writing me up at the same time. I can hardly wait for the Christian Science Monitor to jump into the act." Last week the New York Post began a less-than-loving series about Dorothy, star of the Hearst empire, as headline reporter, gos sip columnist ("Voice of Broadway"), television personality (What's My Line?), radio chatterist (Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick] and homemaker (a husband, three children and a 22-room Manhattan town house). That same day Dorothy's own New York Journal-American began a two-part story...
...while he seemed to be outflanking the monitors successfully. Monitor Chairman Martin F. O'Donoghue, harried by anonymous callers at home and picketed at his office, called meetings, found it all but impossible to round up Monitors Daniel B. Maher, Hoffa's minority member on the board, and Lawrence T. Smith, named by rank-and-file New York Teamsters who had charged that Hoffa's 1957 election was rigged...
...When the monitors did meet, O'Donoghue's legal strategy was voted down. Monitor Smith, unaccountably reversing his former stand, accused O'Donoghue of being obsessed with "getting Hoffa." Then last fortnight Monitor Maher announced he would retire because of heart trouble. Hoffa named as his successor Detroit Lawyer William E.

Dickinson Letts, 84, last week reminded Hoffa & Co. that the monitors are merely the court's helpers, that Hoffa must ultimately answer to him. The stocky, white-haired judge refused to accept Maher's resignation, then ordered Monitor Smith to resign. When he declined, Judge Letts fired him. ("You have been disappointing to the court in your failure to recognize your responsibilities and duties.") As Smith's successor, Judge Letts appointed a former...
...Arthur Harrison Motley, 59, publisher-president of Parade magazine since 1946, was elected president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, succeeding Edwin D. Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, who will become chairman of the board. Garrulous, cigar-smoking "Red" Motley, who has sold zithers, Fuller brushes and cough syrup, is sometimes called one of the twelve best U.S. salesmen, has hiked Parade's circulation from 2,000,000 to nearly 10 million, its gross from $1,800,000 to $25 million. He considers it his duty in his new job "to get the membership off its goddam...
