Kilgore, who has never been willing to consider the W.S.J. as merely a financial paper, has labored long & hard to make it much more than that. Like many a W.S.J. staffer, he has never worked on any other paper, went to the W.S.J. as a copyreader right out of De Pauw University in 1929. Three months later, at 21, he was sent to San Francisco as news editor...
Campaign Funds. Sparkplug of the Tribune's anticrime campaign is redheaded Managing Editor V. M. (for Virgil Miller) Newton, 46, a Tribune staffer for 21 years. "Red" Newton started his crusade in 1947, when almost all of Tampa's municipal offices were taken over by a slate of candidates supported by Tampa's underworld. Newton sent out a squad of his staffers to find out how the election had been swung. Led by Reporter Jock Murray, a well-groomed, Nova Scotia-born Scot who looks more like a Wall Street banker than a crusading newsman, the Tribune...

They were giving aid and comfort to the enemy and they should have been thrown in jail and tried for treason. Don't give me that...
Across the street, little knots of printers, pressmen and stereotypers watched passively, still refusing to cross the lines. Occasionally, the ugly cry of "Scab!" went up as a nonstriking editorial or business staffer darted into the dark, gloomy recesses of the W-T & S. A picket dangled a SCAB sign over a nonstriker while a photographer snapped him for the strikers' daily, two-page Guild Telegram & Sun. After their stint, Joan and some other pickets fanned out to cover their regular W-T & S beats for the strikers' 15-minute daily "radio newspaper," Seven Star Final, on three...
