...comfortable, growing circulation lead over the morning Advertiser-103,180 to 59,679. The Advertiser's banner red headlines and high feature count are not likely to pull it abreast of the paper that carries 50% more columns of news each day, keeps 69 men in the newsroom (to the Advertiser's 39), has a larger correspondent network, with staffers in all the outer Hawaiian islands and stringers in Tahiti, Samoa, the Cook Islands and the U.S. Some 12,500 outer islanders also get the Star-Bulletin daily, by air; another 9,904 Hawaiians in Hilo, on Hawaii...

Last week a sense of unreality hung over the once-busy city room, which had been turned into a sort of employment agency to help ex-staffers get jobs. On one side of the newsroom a bulletin board listed some 200 job offers in Cleveland industry, but few newspaper openings. Out-of-town papers, e.g., the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, sent personnel representatives to interview ex-News reporters, many of whom discovered that they were considered too old to pick up good newspaper jobs.
