Stern For Stern

Into his father's office, from whose walls a row of New Deal dignitaries look down, David ("Tommy") Stern 3rd moved last week, becoming general manager of Philadelphia's rambunctious Record. Short, red-faced, 28 and popping with ideas, Tommy Stern intimately resembles his father in appearance and energy. For many a moon he has been itching to have a paper all his own, has bid for the Harrisburg Telegraph and Providence Star-Tribune. Now he has agreed to stay put for a year on the Record. If Tommy proves as big as his job, J. David Stern Sr. will be able to turn nearly all his attention to his New York Post, which in four years he has boosted from 86,000 circulation to nearly 300,000, by tooting one of the loudest horns on the Roosevelt bandwagon and by giving away (for coupons and cash) a steady stream of dictionaries, atlases, Dickens' works and medical advice books.
