INFORMATION on business cir
circumstances OF the Negro press
is virtually impossible to secure.
II can be surmised only from an
occasional news item and from a
cross-sectional analysis of Negro
papers. Mr.. G.. James Fleming es-
timated in 1885 that the Negro
press represents an eyaluation OF
over s3.000,000 and gives whole
or part-time employment TO about
5000.
The business and printing struc-
ture has not kept stride with the
development of news functions in
the Negro press. A study OF sixty
enc representative newspapers re-
vealed that geographically they
are inferior. even though in many
cases they are very we'll edited.
While an assortment OF type faces
is used for headlines and adver-
Using displays. the quality OF pa
per used in many instances is OF
such a cheap grade that II does
not stand much wear. The gen.
eral makeup OF most papers Is
anything but attractive. and In
some cases positively ugly. An un-
balanced and over-crowded ap-
pearance with pictures carelessly
scattered everywhere seems TO be
the rule. A few papers have made
some improvement in this respect
in recent years. The Peoples
Voice shows an unusually neat
play OF type and balanced ar

PAUL WANER HITS
3O0OTH TIME

BOSTON, juno 20. CUP)-Little
Paul Waner, who never has weighed
more than 158 pounds during his
remarkable 17-year major league
baseball career, had his name in
the record books today alongside
of Cap Anson, Ty Cobb, Eddie Col
Inns, Iris Speaken, Nap Lajoie and
Hans Wagner-only major leaguers
to make 1900 or more hits.
Waner, called Big Poison" to dis
tinguish him from his smaller and
younger brother, Lloyd, who was
called Little Poison" made his
3,000th hit on Rip SeWell in yes
terday's Pittsburgh-Bo game. 1t
was a single to center in the fifth
inning with the count two strikes
and no balls
The game was halted and Umpire
Bill Stewart presented to Waner
the ball which he had hit.

Rumania bombinq
Results Revealed

ANKARA, June 20 CUP)-United
States Army air corps planes de-
yastated the great Ploesti oil fields
of Rumania in their raid of June
IL. reliable informants said today.
Neutral sources quoted the Ru-
manian legation here as admitting
that fires burned for two days after
the raid and that the whole re-
gion was obscured by smoke.
According to these informants,
telephone communication was not
restored until days after the raid
Travellers arriving here from Ru-
mania said that two great bombers,
presumably American, circled over
Bucharest for more than an hour
while the raid on the oil fields 100
miles to the north was in progress
Though the planes dropped no
bombs on the capital, informants
said, air raid sirens sounded and
the entire capital, next morning,
learned by fast spreading rumor
that the planes we're American, not
Russian.

It was second straight game. in
which the Yanks had made only
four hits. In their last six games
the YankS have averaged only six

He hasn't made a hit in three
games.
