Franklin, Printer," this being the week of his 255th birthday anniversary, and The Post being descended from Franklin's The Pennsylvania Gazette. Our cover painting has been used in previous years, with a pertinent Franklin quotation inserted. This week Franklin's genius is discussed on page 21 by Samuel Eliot Morison, who recently completed his fourteen- volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II. Admiral Morison, a retired Harvard professor, has won Pulitzer Prizes for biographies of John Paul Jones and Columbus, and has written Post articles on both gentlemen. We're delighted to have him discuss our Ben, even though he was brought up to believe it was foolish of Franklin to forsake Boston for Philadelphia. SHORT STORIES: The Battling Bulstrodes . . .
