Washington correspondents know smart, stocky James Arthur Wechsler as one of the ablest reporters in the capital. But his name was well down on the totem pole of the New York Post Home News (circ. 380,000); he was one of two "associates" to Washington Bureau Chief Charles Van Devander. Last week, at 33, Jimmy Wechsler slid all the way up the pole to the editorship...
Busy Editor Gardner Cowles of Look (circ. 2,912,689) thought that U.S. readers were getting "busier & busier" all the time. What they needed in the way of a weekly news report, he decided, was something brief and handy to snatch up in their spare moments "on the bus or in the beauty parlor." Last week "Mike" Cowles gave them a new, 64-page magazine of "news, pictures [19 pages] and predictions" no bigger than a man's hand. Name: Quick. Price...
...Seltzer fed Staffer Frank Stewart a fancy lunch one day in 1938 and then "promoted" him to church editor of the Cleveland Press, Stewart felt like a fattened turkey under the ax. To Stewart, who had been night editor, sports editor and state editor of the Scripps-Howard Press (circ. 282,000), the promotion seemed a polite way of telling him that he was through.

...like to dream about buying a little weekly some day and settling down in the country, but not many ever do anything about it. Montreal's John William Sancton, 29, is one who did. Until six months ago, Sancton was a news editor of the daily Montreal Gazette (circ. 54,383). Now he is editor, publisher and owner of the 104-year-old weekly Stanstead (Quebec) Journal (circ. 1,350) - and enjoying life very much...
...spoken with a single journalistic voice, but for years many church leaders have dreamed of a newspaper for all Protestants. Last week 150 Protestant churchmen met in Kansas City to do something about it. During three days of deliberation, they announced plans to buy the small, interdenominational Protestant Voice (circ. 29,500), and turn it into a weekly newspaper. The new paper will have a 30-man board of directors, selected from 300 representatives of denominations, religious agencies and geographical areas. It will cost an estimated $2,000,000, though publication will start after $650,000 is in the kitty...
