...that Bob White should have bought a round-trip ticket. From Tribune Owner John Hay Whitney, presently U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, came an announcement: on Whitney's return from Britain next January, he will take over as president and publisher of the Trib. Said Whitney: "Mr. White has informed me of his desire to resign [his] offices, and his resignation has been regretfully accepted...
...fact, White had little if any choice. During his 16 months at the Trib, he had made a lot of friends-but they were mostly personal. Circulation has hardly moved: up from 351,000 daily to 352,490.

In the first local election held after he returned from Washington, Oakland Democrats were dumfounded to find that their side got equivalent play with the Republicans. Said Knowland, well aware that the Trib's circulation area is 60% Democratic: "We've got to serve the whole community." In his one try at personal reporting, Knowland filed dispatches of scrupulous objectivity from both 1960 party conventions.
