Last week the State of Ohio, in the persons of three Common Pleas judges, found "reasonable doubt" that four officials of the Youngstown Telegram deliberately padded the circulation figures of their newspaper, as 53 employes and ex-employes had testified that the officials had done (TIME, Nov. 28). But while "reasonable doubt" is innocence in law. its implied question was far from an adequate vindication to the Telegram, member of the Scripps-Howard organization, to whom "fearless honesty" is the prime virtue...
...editors & managers, vigorous liberalism, fearless honesty. Newsreaders were shocked last week to read testimony which, if true, would smirch Scripps-Howard with one of the lowest tricks in the newspaper business-padding circulation figures. The scene was the trial, for fraud, of four officials of Scripps-Howard's Youngstown (Ohio) Telegram. Facts: In October 1931, the Telegram declared its average circulation for the previous six months to be 35,610. Audit Bureau of Circulation investigated, found the figure too high. The Telegram made its own investigation, removed the circulation manager, published in December an amended figure: 34,698. Prosecutor...
...industry's big new tankers are Sun-built and the Sun yards turned out the new Seatrains (TIME, Oct. 17) which carry a mile of loaded freight cars. In 1930 the company began operating a gasoline pipe-line from Marcus Hook to Cleveland, running through Pittsburgh and Youngstown and branching north to Syracuse. The company claims to be the first to develop a high grade antiknock gasoline solely through improvement in cracking processes, as contrasted to the addition of chemicals.

...producer of sheet steel. Its only sheet plant is at Sparrows Point. Md.. where 130,000 tons can be turned out annually against U. S. Steel's 2,000,000. Bethlehem was blocked in its attempt to get a major sheet producer when negotiations with Youngstown Sheet & Tube were dropped. But last week it planned to buy small Seneca Iron & Steel Co. which makes 120,000 tons of sheet steel a year, also some stove and specialty sheets. Seneca is located at Buffalo, buys its sheet bars from Bethlehem's Lackawanna plant. It has assets...
General Dawes last week could have heard little but gloom from his steelmaking friends. The Chicago mills lost ground together with all others except those in the Youngstown district. Ingot production hovered around 18% of capacity. Detroit, which had been at 81%, fell to 75% and Pittsburgh was barely able to hold at 15%. Automobile production, with the exception of Ford, seemed about to slow up last week and Iron Age predicted many plants would be idle during the summer. The week's production was 52,560 units, a small gain over the previous week but 21% below last year...
