His paper has lost 10,500 circulation in a year (latest Post figure: 291,604), against a smaller loss for the Herald-Traveler (combined circ. 331,513) and a slight gain for the Globe (morning and evening circ. 277,318).

...declaim the Advocate's poetry would slight Brock Brower's "Deucalion." A somewhat cynical, somewhat humorous affair on God's creation of man, Brower's easy meter and obscure, as well as obvious, metaphors give the poem a freshness unique in the issue. Frederick Seidel's "Not Too Damn Much Happens In the Spring" is a startling amalgam of Keats, Eliot, Cummings, . . . and apparently Seidel...
