Anderson In
Paul Y. Anderson has not yet found time for a belated honeymoon. Fired six weeks ago from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (TIME, Jan. 31), Paul Anderson this week went to work as a Washington correspondent for his old paper's aggressive rival, the St. Louis Star-Times. In his new job Correspondent Anderson can expect to do more work at less pay than the $16,000 the Post-Dispatch paid him, but in return he will be able to write all the liberal, pro-New Deal pieces he wants, will find his work highly ballyhooed. While his old boss. Managing Editor 0. K. Bovard of the Post-Dispatch, was reported submitting Anderson's scoop on the Chicago steel massacre newsreels for Pulitzer Prize consideration, jaunty Crusader Anderson cracked: "Messrs. Pulitzer* and Bovard think of me as a lemon out of which they squeezed all the juice. We'll see about that."
*Joseph Pulitzer, son of the late Prize-founding Joseph Pulitzer, is publisher of the Post Dispatch.
