130 NO. 100 Daily Star Purchased By Pulitzer Company Also Owns St. Louis Newspaper The Arizona Daily Star was sold yesterday to the Pulitzer Publishing Co. With its purchase, Michael E. Pulitzer became editor and publisher.

The sale to the Pulitzer Company by William A. Small publisher of the Tucson Daily Citizen, brought to a close a six-yearlong landmark court battle and congressional action involving federal antitrust laws. The price was about $10 million, identical to what Small paid in 1965. The new editor and publisher comes to Tucson from St. Louis, where his grandfather, Joseph Pulitzer, began a publishing career more than a century ago, and where the Pulitzer family now owns and operates the Post-Dispatch.

The elder Pulitzer, who died in 1911, also owned the New York World and established the Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, arts and letters. The Star is the only Pulitzer-owned newspaper outside of St. Louis. Michael E. Pulitzer, 41, has been assistant managing editor of the Post-Dispatch.

He is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He practiced law in Massachusetts two years before entering the newspaper business as a reporter for the Louisville, Courier-Journal. Michael Pulitzer joined the news staff of the Post-Dispatch in I960, covering the presidential campaign. During the next three years, he developed not only newsroom and editorial experience, but worked in all mechanical and business departments. He became news editor in 1963 and assistant managing editor in 1968.

He is a director of the Pulitzer Publishing Co. and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Foundation. The William A. Small family bought the Star in 1965 from William R.

Mathews and Mrs. Ralph E. Ellinwood. The Smalls announced their intention to resell the Star under circumstances where it would remain an independent local operation. Sale was delayed by a federal court decision which ruled illegal a joint operating agreement dating from 1940.

The court decision was negated last summer by passage by Congress of the Newspaper Preservation Act. U.S. District Court Judge James A. Walsh approved the change of ownership of the Star yesterday morning on the condition that the Pulitzer company divest itself of Tucson television station KVOA by April 1, 1972. The Pulitzer company purchased KVOA three years ago.

Common ownership of a newspaper and a television station in one community has been challenged by the FCC and the Justice Department. This government policy delayed purchase of the Star by the Pulitzer interests. Judge Walsh was assured that negotiations for sale of the television station are under way. William A. Small Jr.

said yesterday that "it was the desire of my family to put the (Star) in the hands of a widely recognized and respected publisher, and I think that now, six years later, it has finally been achieved Small added that there were many bidders for the Star, but that only the Pulitzer company met the requirement that let the Star continue its historic position as the locally-owned competitor of the Citizen. Michael Pulitzer is married to the former Cecille Stell Eisenbeis. The Pulitzer family will make Tucson their home.

Karl Meyer, executive director of the Development Authority for Tucson's Expansion, said he is glad the home building industry is finally catching up with demand.

A curfew was enforced the next day and four people were shot for breaking it. The army held the city until March 30, when local police, soldiers from an East Pakistan army regiment and militiamen known as Answars attacked before dawn. Unarmed civilians gathered by the thousands In the streets to chant Bangla Desh slogans. By 10 a.m. the police station and telephone exchange were retaken.

The army held out in the school and the radio station until nightfall. Then the survivors tried to make a break for their base at Jessore 55 miles away. Loss Of 88 GIs Marks 10-Month Asian War High 1971 New York Times News Service SAIGON The military command reported Thursday that 88 American servicemen were killed in the Indochina fighting last week, the highest weekly toll in almost 10 months. The high total was a reflection of the North Vietnamese commando raid against an American military base on March 28 when 33 Americans were killed and 76 wounded. The command said a total of 347 Americans were wounded in the week ending last Saturday.

At least one American soldier was killed and perhaps a dozen injured last night in Saigon when a bomb destroyed a night club jammed with GIs listening to Vietnam's most popular rock group, the CBC, which stands for Cowboy Con, or Baby Cowboys. The explosion, the worst such incident directed against Americans in the capital in months, raised fears of an increase in terrorism in Saigon. Vietnamese police reported that one Vietnamese woman was killed and at least three other Vietnamese were injured in the explosion. Only last week, the military command extended the curfew for American servicemen in Saigon, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Until the extension of the curfew, the club was empty of American GIs by 9 p.m., about the time of last night's explosion. American commanders have expressed some concern that terrorists would try to inflict increasing casualties on American servicemen as the pullout of U.S. troops continues. Meanwhile, President Nixon's announcement of the withdrawal of another 100,000 U.S. troops by December caused Uttle stir in Saigon.

Vietnamese interviewed Thursday said that most people were not surprised by the announcement. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and President Nguyen Van Thieu discussed the figure within the last month, American officials said, and the two men had reached full agreement on the new withdrawal rate of about 14,000 men a month. There was no official word from President Thieu himself, however. The only official comment came from the Foreign Ministry, which said that the pullout was "based on the growing strength of the Republic of Vietnam amed forces." It also expressed gratitude to "the United States people and government for their contribution to the fight against the common enemy." Opposition politicals were divided on the withdraw al announcement. My Quy Chung, an antigovemment deputy, said that there was "nothing to be excited about because tha doesnt mean that the United States has decided to disengage itself from Vietnam." The Arizona Daily Star has a long history of public service to Tucson and to Arizona.

The Star will continue to practice the highest principles of journalism. It will report the news impartially and interpret and explain the events of today's fast moving world. It will comment and express its opinion independently and vigorously. It will consider the interests and welfare of its readers as its prime concern. It will not forget that a sense of humor also is essential.

In a personal note, my family and I are looking forward with great pleasure to being members of the Tucson community. I am planning to spend as much time as possible in Tucson in the next few weeks and to move here permanently by mid-summer. The strength of the Star can be attributed in large part to its superior staff and I have no plans to make any changes in the staff. MICHAEL E. PULITZER Editor and Publisher NEW DELHI, India (AP) East Pakistani independence forces claimed three victories Thursday, further isolating West Pakistani army troops holed up in major cities and rural fortresses in the secessionist province.

Reports from the rebel-held town of Kushtia said the East Pakistanis appeared to control about half of the province. On Thursday, rebel forces said they blasted a rail bridge linking the army-held cities of Dacca, the capital, and Chittagong, the major port, destroyed an airfield near Comilla and captured an army depot holding nine tons of arms and ammunition. Information received by Indian intelligence agencies corroborated many of the rebel claims. Reporters drove unhindered across the Bhairab River from India to Chuadanga where the independence forces have set up their southwest command. The regional commander, Maj.

Osman Chawdhary of the East Pakistan Rifles, said there were reports of Pakistan army concentrations east of the Ganges, possibly preparing for an offensive across the river. East Pakistan's Bengalis are confident of eventual victory if they can hold out until the monsoon rains begin in June. The area is a low-lying, swampy country laced with rivers, irrigation canals and ditches, If the main roads are cut, an army is bogged down. Red, yellow and green Bangla Desh (Bengali nation) flags fly from municipal buildings everywhere. Villagers shout "Joi Bangla" Victory to Bengal at visitors.

But officials in Chuadanga and Kushtia bitterly criticize the United States for what they say has been its failure to condemn Pakistan army violence. They said their leader, Sheik Mujib, was democratically elected to head East Pakistan and should be recognized by the world as such. For at least 25 million persons a third of the population an independent Bangla Desh has become a reality in practice. In numerous villages and cities on the western side of the Ganges River, which divides the province almost in half, East Pakistanis are ruling themselves. Nowhere is this more evident than in Kushtia, a district administrative center 30 miles east of the Indian border and 105 miles northeast of Calcutta.

Bangla Desh administrators run the railway, police, postal service and government. Taxes are being collected and deposited in banks to wait the time when they can be paid into a central Bangla Desh treasury. The city of 30,000 people is run by a 15-man district action committee. Similar committees have been established in other "liberated" towns and cities, says Kushtia's deputy commissioner, Mohammed Shamsulhuq. Reports received in Kushtia claim that the entire country west of the Ganges, apart from army cantonments and fortresses, is in Bangla Desh hands.

But the price has been high on both sides. The Pakistan army tried to seize all the main towns in East Pakistan the night of March 25-26, when President Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan gave the order outlawing Sheik Mujibur Rahman's Awami League. The league won all of the 169 East Pakistani National Assembly seats contested in elections last December. In Kushtia, the army failed to capture the town, and it lost its entire strike force of 247 men of the Baluch Regiment Shamsulhuq told of the town's fight for independence. The army moved in at midnight March 23 to occupy the police station, telephone ex Record City Housing Pace Applauded As 'Fantastic By ART EHRENSTROM Star Business Editor Home building has reached a pinnacle in 183, compared with the previous monthly high the Tucson area.
