C O N F I D E N T I A L 10 November 1975 DG I US cc: THE GUARDIAN WW DG I COMM US GUARDIAN COMMITTEE DG COMM US DGUS RE: CHINA SHOP: CLEARWATER SUN Dear Dick, Here are some observations and data on Clearwater Sun recently received: A study of the paper does not show a political or intelligence angle. Only evidence that the paper attacks everyone. Any Good News is converted to attack. This paper (Clearwater Sun) may influence the two other papers that have offices in Clearwater (St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune, I believe) or these two influence the Sun. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that somewhere in the editorial structure they have an institutional case - a has been one or a should be one. For it is a characteristic of insanity to attack everything. JOHN E. RICKETSON: PUBLISHER AL HUTCHISON: EDITOR & GENERAL MANAGER RON STUART: MANAGING EDITOR TERRY PLUMB: ASSOC EDITOR MIKE PRIDE: CITY EDITOR (per Sableman) MARK SABLEMAN= WRITER ALSBURY: WRITER NORMAN MORGAN: WRITER STEVE SNOW: WRITER CIRCULATION: 30,000 AD SPACE: Not spectacular FINANCE ESTIMATE: Not so hot (their finance condition) OWNERS (per Sableman): JEFFERSON PILOT CORPORATION OF (and B-1 Man) GREENSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA Our target on this, very confidentially, is ownership or control of the paper. So, as you know, the finance information on the paper, its debts, its income (and how it could be cut) are prime information needs. Also detailed info on the posts of the staff editors, etc. Love, Henning DGUS HH/bc
