The Press: Judge Redeemed
Out of receivership, into bankruptcy court went funny Judge last week with its $500,000 debts (TIME, March 14). Also in court appeared Publisher Clair Maxwell of Life, Publisher George T. Delacorte Jr. of Ballyhoo and a half-dozen lawyers representing unknown clients to bid for the purchase of the magazine. None of them got it. Instead the staff of Judge, headed by Publisher Fred L. Rogan, raised $17,000 cash among themselves, got their magazine back again free of debt. Immediately the staff set to work upon next week's issue, promised there would be no lapse of publication. Reputedly interested in buying a minority share in Judge is wealthy, crusading Cartoonist Percy Crosby ("Skippy"), heretofore identified with Life.
