"Now"

Having denied last fortnight the New York Graphic's statement that he had resigned as its editor and publisher so he could "retire and rest" (TIME, July 22), Emile Henry Gauvreau last week told what he was going to do.

Said he: "I've accepted a job as associate editor of the New York Mirror [tabloid Graphic rival]. My main job will be to conduct a daily column called 'Now' dealing with world affairs. It will be much on the order of Arthur Brisbane's 'Today' except that I hope to make it more satirical and intimate. My new salary will be much larger than what I received from the Graphic."

Observers, recalling that only last month Walter Winchell, gossip-columnist, had broken his Graphic contract to go with the Mirror (TIME, June 17), thought they saw in the new Gauvreau job an explanation of the ease with which the Winchell contract had been broken.
