Caption:
After Bickel came Hugh Baillie, President of UPi from 1935-1955, a formidable, crew-cut, Marine-like battle tank. The one-time gun-toting crime reporter kept a bayonet as a paper weight on his desk and directed United Press into what author Reynolds Packard called "whambo-zambo" journalism, putting life and drama into news coverage.
