Early life
[ edit ]
Turner was born on March 15, 1921, to Clyde H. and Ina Belle (née Wallace) Turner in Titusville, Florida , and raised in The Ozarks region in Missouri .[1] [2] [3] He was one of three brothers in the family.[1] After earning a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1943 from the University of Missouri , he was married in June and then briefly joined the United States Army during World War II .[2] That year he also started in the newspaper business, working for the Springfield News in Springfield, Missouri .[3] [4]
Wallace was discharged from the Army due to his asthma , and he and his new wife moved to Oregon, his wife Pearl Burk's home state.[2] [3] In 1943, they settled in Portland, Oregon, where he took a job as the night police reporter for the Daily Oregonian .[1]
Newspaper career

While working for The Oregonian , Oregon's largest daily newspaper, he won his first of two Heywood Broun Awards in 1952 for his work helping expose a scam on the Oregon Coast that targeted Native Americans and their land and involved the Bureau of Indian Affairs .[1] [2] In 1957 , Turner was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting along with fellow Oregonian reporter William Lambert .[1] [2] The two writers uncovered widespread corruption in the local government that involved labor union officials, which helped lead to investigations into organized crime across the country.[1] Turner even testified in 1957 before the U.S. Senate's Select Committee on Improper Activities in the Labor or Management Field, commonly known as the McClellan Committee , concerning the corruption.[2]
Turner then went to Harvard University on a Nieman Fellowship for a year after winning the Pulitzer.[2] Turner left The Oregonian in 1959 to become the news director at Portland television station KPTV .[1] He then left the station in 1961 to work as an Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) in the administration of President John F. Kennedy .[1] He served as an assistant secretary until 1962 when he became the press secretary to the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Abraham Ribicoff .[2] Later that year he returned to journalism and worked for The New York Times .[1]
With The Times , Wallace worked as a correspondent in their San Francisco bureau from 1962 to 1970, and then as the bureau chief their from 1970 until 1985.[2] [3] While in San Francisco he covered the shootings of Harvey Milk and George Moscone .[2] Turner left San Francisco in 1985 to open The Times' new Seattle news bureau.[2] He continued in that capacity until his retirement in 1988.[1]
Turner was the author of two books: Gamblers' Money — the New Force in American Life, published in 1965, followed by The Mormon Establishment in 1966.[1]
Death and family
