Responsibility. Most newspapers reacted with disapproval that ranged from tepid to thunderous. But the weekly Morecambe (Lancashire) Visitor (circ. 17,500) summoned its readers to "rejoice greatly [over] the pleasant fact that only a handful of Jews bespoil the population of our borough! . . . Violence may be the only way to bring [Jews] to a sense of their responsibility to the country in which they live...
...Pageant went out for good bylines, good pictures and no reprints. But neither Eugene Lyons, its first editor, nor Vernon Pope, its last (since May 1945), had the paper to justify promoting Pageant into competition with The Reader's Digest or Coronet. In the past 18 months, Pageant (circ. 270,000) has lost $400,000 for Publisher Hillman, mainly because of rising printing and paper costs. Pope and most of his staff left last week. Hillman planned to use up their "bank" of articles in three bimonthly issues. Then, barring happy accident, Pageant would give up the ghost...

This week, liberal, 31-year-old Harry Ashmore went to work as editorial-page editor for the Gazette (circ. 92,000), whose editor calls it "a conservative paper which sometimes disappoints conservatives." Explained Old Editor Heiskell: "I certainly didn't want to put an old man next in line for the editor's job; he might peg out before...
When he gets the Times, Field plans to make the Sun a tab too and put out a joint Sunday edition called the Sun-Times. Field will find the Times (circ. 474,000) a paper that sees things his own, New Dealing way, under the guidance of an able, deceptively benign-looking publisher named Richard James Finnegan. The Times has been profitable, which is more than the Sun can say. The Sun will lose its sour-faced executive editor, E. Z. ("Dimmy") Dimitman, whom Field imported from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Dimmy never did have much use for his boss...
