Abstract
The formation of a special newspaper exchange for news on crime, particularly gambling, as a means of coping with a story which had long since outgrown local coverage facilities, was the most significant development of recent months. Many observers were urging newspapers to consider extending the exchange idea to handle other types of news, as a means of supplementing the wire services and syndicates. In the field of press law, the historic anti-trust suit against an Ohio newspaper on charges of conspiring to effect an advertising monopoly was turned over to the court, after testimony and arguments on both sides, with a decision expected sometime within the year. In radio, the future of television, especially color TV, continued to be the chief topic of speculation and debate.
