...Peterborough, Ont., the Examiner (circ. 13,376) talked back to an anachronistic editorial in the London Times. Louis St. Laurent, said the Times (without regard for Canada's sense of independent nationhood), could not become Prime Minister until the King, through the Governor General, Viscount Alexander, had approved. Said the Times: ". . . It is not likely that Lord Alexander will look beyond him." Cracked Peterborough's Examiner: "We think it is so unlikely as to be out of the question ... In suggesting such a thing the Times is sadly behind the times...
...Know the Score." Negro Publisher Davis Lee of the Newark weekly Telegram (circ. 110,000) found a Negro's life below the Mason-Dixon line more tolerable than north of it. In an editorial he wrote: "When I am in Virginia or North Carolina I don't wonder if I will be served if I walk into a white restaurant. I know the score.

Last week, Howard said that the merger gave his Times "added responsibilities [which] we are fully prepared to meet." One possibility: a Scripps-Howard Sunday Times to do battle with Pulliam's Sunday Star...
...liberal Louisville Courier-Journal (circ. 167,727) and its breadwinning sister, the afternoon Times (168,858), have two links with the good old days of fire-breathing Editor "Marse Henry" Watterson. One is their old-fashioned home on Liberty Street, where another local monopoly-the post office-once dwelt. The other is doughty, ice-blue-eyed Tom Wallace, editor of the Times, whom Marse Henry hired to get a youthful viewpoint into his crochety editorial page...
