Negro Press
Given Clean
Bill OF Health

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va,
October 81, 1936.-FIs the Negro
press independent of outside con-
trol-i.e., is it free to express itself
without restraint"
This was the first question asked
George S. Schuyler at the conclu-
sion of his lecture in Ogden Hall,
on "The Negro Press" October 81.
AS if some such question was ex-
pected, Mr.. Schuyler answered
without hesitation: "The Negro
press is as free as the press Of any
other group anywhere. Even the
poorest of the papers manage to
keep going without surrendering
any of their independence. Their
editors invariably say what they
think on any and all questions"
He explained that the advertising
columns of these papers, like all
others, are open to all legitimate
advertisers; and that such papers
may very properly accept any such
advertising offered; but it does not
follow that because some friendly
political or other group places adj
vertising matter with these papers
that the latter are controlled by
the former. Mr.. Schuyler put par
ticular emphasis on the fact that
if some of the poorest of the Ne
gro press were not Independent
and, therefore, acceptable to their
readers, they could not remain SOL
vent.
Another question asked from the
floor was whether there would be
any field for persons who took pro-
fessional courses in journalism.
Refusing to take the role of a
prophet, Mr.. Schuyler said that he
believed there would be such
field; and he gave as the reason
for his view the fact that a number
of such persons who had been so
trained were actually in service in
their professions. Going back to
the veteran T. Thomas Fortune,
who used to write for the New
York Sun, he named a number of
persons who are now practical
journalists, drawing respectable
salaries.
Mr.. Schuyler faced a splendid
audience and gave valuable his
tory of the rise of the Negro press;
while he discussed it's problems,
merits and defects. His background
of service as syndicate writer, edi-
tor and contributor to many nation
al journals had enabled him to
speak with authority on the sub
ject.

I'd heard that movie executives

You know how it is. You can't

TOwSON, Md, April 17.-State's
Attorney James C. L. Anderson said
yesterday that ballistics tests on the
pistol which may have killed Charles
Gather would not be made by the
Baltimore Police Department.
Gather was indicted in numbers

the indictment of a number Of Bal
timore policemen. The pistol, found
IL miles from where Gather was

chambers had been discharged. Cal
ther was shot twice. He was killed
by .3S-caliber bullets and the gun
found was .3a.

which killed Gather came from the
gun. The police department has the
special microscopes used in this work.
The Washington Police Department
also has ballistics expert and equip
ment. The tests might also be made
at the Bureau of Standards.
There was a possibility that the
gun might be so rusted as to make
positive tests impossible.

from school, when he jumped into a
ditch to escape a passing automobile
At his feet he found the gun. His
