...weary of 'McCarthy' stories?" asked the Manhattan (Kans.) Mercury-Chronicle (circ. 6,157). The paper, one of seven dailies owned by the family of Assistant Secretary of Defense Frederick A. Seaton, decided that most of its readers were. The Mercury-Chronicle announced that it would experiment with running McCarthy stories on page 3 instead of Page One because the paper's editors felt "there has been something of a tendency everywhere to overplay 'McCarthy' stories." Last week the Louisville Courier-Journal (circ. 201,212) strongly disagreed and read a sharp lecture to the Mercury-Chronicle...
...meetings of the Labor Party and its National Executive Committee. Last month, when the party met in a closed session and barely (by a vote of 113 to 104) passed a resolution supporting the inclusion of Germany in Western defenses (TIME, March 8), the respected weekly London Observer (circ. 475,609) reported the meeting fully. The Observer's veteran parliamentary reporter and novelist (Fear No Evil), Hugh Massingham, even included such details as Nye Bevan's letting "off a few spirited quips about the stupidity and dishonesty of some of his colleagues," and Clement Attlee's announcing...

...Tribune, and moved from its own grubby offices into the Tribune's modern plant. Later he repeated the same trick with other papers he took over, pepped them up with wider wire-service coverage, broadened local-news coverage for such successful small papers as the Rock Springs Rocket (circ. 5,935), Sunday Miner (5,900) and Laramie Bulletin...
...newsman himself, McCraken leaves the editorial side to his editors, believes that first of all a newspaper is a business enterprise. Although he is a lifelong Democrat, his Laramie Republican-Boomerang (circ. 2,904) and Cheyenne Wyoming State Tribune (10,413) are pro-Republican because that is what they were when he took them over. Each of McCraken's publishers has come up from the ranks, gets a big stock share in the paper he bosses. McCraken's community-minded dailies (five of them tabloids) rarely crusade, avoid sensational stories...
