Odds, Ends

P: To be publisher of his father's New York American, William Randolph Hearst Jr. appointed Eugene Forker, lately advertising director of Hearst's International Magazine Co. Inc. Publisher Forker broke in as a cub on the Los Angeles Herald in 1908, later serving as International News Service correspondent on the Mexican border, working on various papers about the U. S., returning to the Hearst fold in 1917 as editor of Harper's Bazaar. P:Economist Henry Parker Willis, with the New York Journal of Commerce for 30 years, resigned the editorship which he had held since 1919. Reason: "Clashes of opinion" with the Brothers Joseph, Bernard and Victor Ridder, publishers. Managing Editor Frederick W. Jones also resigned.

P:In Girard, Kans., Publisher Emanual Haldeman-Julius (Little Blue Books) announced that within three weeks he would revive the defunct Socialist journal The Appeal to Reason. The War killed it in 1918. Publisher Haldeman-Julius said he would reinstate the former editor, Fred B. Warren.
