Ambassador Patterson visited the King day after day, trying to explain that the U.S. had not expected and now deplored his breaking with Tito just before the second Roosevelt-Stalin-Churchill meeting.

The News's Publisher Joe Patterson had been virtually a stepfather to Terry: he chose Terry's name from 50 submitted by Caniff, himself added and the Pirates, and suggested the strip's Oriental locale. Now Joe Patterson will have to find someone else to match Caniff's slick draftsmanship, crackling dialogue and skilled adventure story. For his part, Caniff will have to create an entirely new character-cast and story...
