MILWAUKEE —(U.P)— Waldo R. Arnold 50, managing editor of the Milwaukee Journal, died early today of a heart attack.
Mr. Arnold was returning from a party the Journal had given its 25-year employees when he was stricken. He apparently felt the seizure approaching, stopped his car, and entered a tavern to obtain help. The attack struck him as he entered the door. He was pronounced dead at the hospital to which he was taken.
A native of Kiel, Mr. Arnold attended the University of Wisconsin and began working for the Journal as a copy reader in 1917. He advanced to the telegraph desk, then became state editor. During the early months of the first World War he was made war editor until he entered service. On his return from France, Mr. Arnold became telegraph editor. He was promoted to news editor in 1938.
Tentative funeral plans call for services to be held Saturday.
Mr. Arnold is survived by his wife, the former Mildred Hussa whom he married in 1922, and one daughter, Suzanne, 13.
