Although Cincinnati's two papers, the morning Enquirer and the evening Post & Times-Star, both belong to the Scripps-Howard chain, they stand about as far apart as they can get. Each has its own plant, its own staff and even its own editorial course. In 1958, for example, the Enquirer endorsed Republican C. William O'Neill for Ohio Governor, while the Post plumped for Democrat Mike Di Salle. Separation was part of a calculated Scripps-Howard effort to allay suspicions of monopoly, and to demonstrate that competition can flourish even in a one-ownership newspaper town. Last...
...minority representation of two. The chain editorials that went out from New York to all Scripps-Howard papers were not even sent to the Enquirer; the chain insigne, a lighthouse, did not shine from its pages. Only last week the Enquirer extended by ten years the lease on its plant at 617 Vine Street-which was not due to expire until...
...exists in only 52 of the 1,434 towns that publish daily newspapers. And where competition has vanished by merger, it has rarely been permitted to survive in spirit, as it does in Cincinnati. In Memphis, for example, another Scripps-Howard monopoly town, the two papers share the same plant and the same ad salesmen...
...their faith in the advantages of solids, four large rocket companies are putting millions of their own, dollars into development-a rare gamble in the Government-nurtured aerospace industry. In addition to Lockheed, Thiokol Chemical Corp., maker of the Minuteman booster, has put $12 million into a Georgia plant to build solid-propellant engines up to 21 ft. 8 in, in diameter with 3,000,000 Ibs. of thrust. Aerojet-General Corp., maker of the Navy's Polaris booster, is doing the same near Miami. The United Technology Center of United Aircraft is building smaller solids at Sunnyvale, Calif...
...chief accountant, for example, earns an average of $6,440 yearly in Britain but only $5,260 in The Netherlands (and $6,160 in Belgium, $5,600 in West Germany, $5,400 in France). Britain also does best by its plant managers ($7,000), design-research chiefs ($7,000) and domestic sales managers ($8,400).* The fringes are also flossiest in Britain. Almost two-thirds of its sales managers drive company cars, often for private use, but less than one-third of their German counterparts do. Britain is big on subsidized lunches; 40% of the middle managers eat at least...
