occurred with our From the Archives series.

WSJ+ members are invited to download full copies of papers from select important
dates in history, which not only offer an of-the-moment look at how events

was in the spotlight at the same time. 


ABOUT THIS ISSUE – OCTOBER 2, 1946

October 1, 1946, marked the end of the Nuremberg Trials, the series of military
tribunals held by the Allied Forces in the wake of World War II's end. They had
begun in November of the previous year and focused heavily on the atrocities
committed by Nazi Germany as part of the Holocaust. In this issue, Journal
reporters revealed the sentencing of 22 members of Nazi leadership, including 11
who were sentenced to death with execution scheduled for just two weeks away on
October 16 (pg 1).

During late 1946, Hollywood film studios were embroiled in labor conflicts that
threatened to sink the entire industry. The wave of strikes had begun in 1945
and, at the time of this issue, the third major strike had pushed pressure on
studios to a new level, sparking rumblings of closures.  However, as WSJ
reported here, the studios felt they had an upper hand for a number of reasons,
including a backlog of films already completed to keep theaters going for the
next two years and the specialized skills of many of the laborers making finding
other work difficult  (pg 1, 2). 

In a comment on the post-WWII world, historian William Henry Chamberlin wrote in
The Wall Street Journal about his experience returning to America following a
trip around Europe, claiming America had come out of the conflict event
stronger, markedly independent and with a "sense of abundance" that European
countries had yet to regain—whether it be of soap, cigarettes or the number of
pages in metropolitan newspapers (pg 4). 

In some good news for those who had struggled during the scarcity of wartime,
WSJ reported that Americans could expect more meat in 1947—up to 10 more pounds
apiece—with beef production on the rise. But not all would be smooth sailing,
reporters said, as "distribution probably will be irregular, and it will be
feast or famine at different periods of the year" (pg 8).

As television was sweeping the nation, WSJ reported on an historic deal between
Philco Corp of Philadelphia and the National Broadcasting Corp. The deal would
see television programming exchanged between Station WPTZ in Philadelphia and
Station WNBT in New York, meaning that viewers in each city would be able to see
programs produced in the other city, making it the first two-way television
relay service (pg 14).
