From Post to Post

The first newspaper job Ralph Edward Renaud ever held was in Washington, D. C., his birthplace, where at 18 he was art reporter on the Star. Last week, aged 52, Ralph Renaud returned to Washington as managing editor of the Post. It is his sixth editorship in the last twelve years. In turn he was night managing editor of the New York Herald, assistant managing editor of the Tribune, managing editor of Cyrus Curtis' Evening Post, next of the World, then of the Post again. Few weeks ago a Post shakeup shook Managing Editor Renaud out (TIME, Sept. 18). Promptly he was hired by Eugene Meyer, new publisher of the Washington Post, who may not return to a member bank until two years after his resignation as governor of the Federal Reserve Board last May.

Editor Renaud is small, grey, round-faced, with horn-rimmed spectacles. On the old World he made a good record as a newshawk. He is aloof, diffident, rarely mixes with his staff except to show them a watercolor he has painted, a poem or play he has dashed off.
