Editor Credits News Staff Work
For Winning of Pulitzer Prize
Watsonville, Calif. (U.R)
Editor Frank F. Orr of the Regis-ter-Pajaronian
said today that
his news staffs efforts "to keep
the public informed" won his
paper the Pulitzer Prize for "its
courageous expose of corruption
in public office."
Orr, who for more than a year
directed his news staff of eight
members, carried on a campaign
that resulted in the resignation
of District Attorney Charles L.
Moore and a prison conviction
of Moore's associate, Raymond
H. Jehl, in a pinball protection
racket.
People Entitled To Know
"We feel very strongly that the
people are entitled to know what
their public officials are doing,"
Orr said. "Not only what they
say in speeches, but also, who
their associates are and what
they are saying in small groups,
particularly when it conflicts
with their public statements.
"In this case, the people of
Santa Cruz county were entitled
to know why their district at
torney parked his car in a dark
driveway at 1 a.m. and why he
had his license plates covered.
They were entitled to know why
the district attorney was meeting
at that hour with his 'vice ad
visor' whom , he had identified
the day before as the middleman
in a $1,500 transaction with a
gambler."
Two of Orr's newsmen re
porter Bill Kennedy and pho
tographer Sam Vestel discov
ered Moore's car and were
threatened with a gun by Jehl.
As a result of the newspaper
campaign, Jehl was convicted
and sent to San Quentin prison
and Moore resigned from office
under charges of wilful miscon
duct. Newt Was Thunderbolt'
Managing Editor Ward Bushee
said the news of the award came
to the paper as a "thunderbolt."
very proud and very happy. But
we are humble, too. It is quite
an honor for a little paper our
size, way off in a corner, to re
ceive such an honor. We're still
numb. It was a staff effort car
ried on for more than a year and
the honor which we have been
given is a result of this staff ef
fort from the top to the bottom
on the news side."

Producer Happy That
Diary Won Pulitzer
Prize as Best Play
New York (U.R) No one
ever had a more ready or more
appropriate or more commer
cial answer as to his feelings
about a Pulitzer Prize victory
than did producer Kermit
Bloomgarden yesterday when
notified that "The Diary of Anne
Frank" - was the winning play.
"I am," said Bloomgarden
with a grin, "The Most Happy
Fella'."
The subquote happens to be
the title of the Frank Loesser
musical which Bloomgarden pre
sented on Broadway last Thurs
day night to a reception that in
sures it being as big a hit as
"Diary."
"But, seriously," he continued,
"I am really most happy for the
Hacketts (Albert Hackett and
his wife, Frances Goodrich) who
did a wonderful job in creating
this play from the famous diary
of the little German-Jewish girl
who was a victim of the Nazis.
They are well deserving of the
prize."
Bloomgarden, Garson Kanin,
director of the play, and Joseph
Schildkraut, co-star with Susan
Strasberg, kept a nervous vigil
in the producer's office for a
"Naturally," he said, "we are couple of hours before the, an
nouncement of the prize was
made. The producer immediately
put in a long distance call to the
Hacketts in their Hollywood
home.
"And, do you know, they
were out," Bloomgarden said.
"Because of the time difference,
it was tht-ir lunch time. It was
an hour and a half before I got
hold of them, and I bawled them
out for not having thought
enough of their chances to stay
home until they heard.
"Naturally, they were very
happy. 'We can't believe it,' was
the first thing they said, then
they wanted to be. reassured it
was true. Kanin got on the phone
to them and reminded them that
when the three were together
in London more than a year ago
working on the play he had told
them it was a potential Pulitzer
Prize winner."
Bloomgarden has no plan to
set up a second company of
"Diary" for touring purposes.
"We've thought of that," he
said, "but part of our success
has been based on the fact that
this original company is a per
fect one. We'll let it carry the
load and send it on. tour when
its Broadway days are over."
