(m William Randolph Hearst, who died here Tuesday, headed a chain of newspaper! that represented a $200 million enterprise at its peak. Hearst was one of the nation's most controversial figures in news paper editing and publishing. On one hand he was called a "yellow journalist" and on the other, a genius. Certainly it could be said that his newspapers were never - dull. He was a great campaigner for or against causes. He fought public utilities, battled governments, was an uncompromising foe of commu nism. Equally, he was a great champion of Americanism, he fought for the eight-hour day and women's suffrage. A businessman of great stature, Hearst was also master of the fabulous San Simeon ranch in Cali fornia where he entertained his guests on a scale of almost 'un dreamed of luxury. k He also had the famous 67,000 acre estate, Wyntoon, on the Mc Cloud river in northern California: a $15,000,000 art collection, ranch holdings in Mexico, magazine pub lishing enterprises and motion pic ture ventures.
