* Last week Sheppard made, executive editor of Liberty made a two-page confession to his readers. He said in part: "It doesn't make any particular hit with us when people try to make themselves friendly by telling how terrible the old Post is getting to be. The Post is a pretty successful publishing enterprise. It makes a few pennies and has a few readers. . . . We are not addressing ourselves to thoughtful gentlemen who sit in club windows on Fifth Avenue and read editorials in the [New York] Times. We are not appealing to the smart, fashionable rich or to the intellectuals and intelligentsia."

* Other able Snooks are John Wilson Snook, warden of the U. S. penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga.; Homer Clyde Snook, electrophysicist, of South Orange, N. J.; John S. Snook, onetime Congressman, of Paulding, Ohio; Frank S. Snook, chief of the State Department of Motor Vehicles, of Sacramento, Calif.
