Cincinnati, Ohio,
Dailies Drop
Racial Tag

Cincinnati week the three
Cincinnati daily newspapers, the
Times-Star, Post and Enquirer,
adopted the policy and issued m
structions to all reporters that ra-
cial identity of persons reported in
crime news is to be omitted.
This change in policy is the
UNI ia tive result of several
months effort by the Cincinnati
branch NAACP, Frontiers club,
racial amity committee of the di-
vision of Negro welfare, Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity, the Women's City
club and other organizations and in
dividuals.
In August the Cincinnati Branch
NAACP submitted the clipping
analysis of news stories with "Ne-
gro" racial designation. A letter
was sent with these clippings to
the editor of the Times-Star and
other papers requesting that a
change in policy be adopted.
No public announcement was
made of the change by any of the
papers, except for a comment by
the Post columnist, Alfred Segal,
in his "Cincinnatus" column, who
said: "Cincinnatus hears of a new
and a very decent idea on the
Post: hereafter a man accused of
crime isn't going to be identified
by his color if he happens to be a
Negro.
"In all the years Cincinnatius
can remember local newspapers
have identified Negro wrongdoers
by their complexion: Jim Jones
Negro. AS if crime were some
thing special to black complexion
that white complexion were inca
pable of wrong doing"
s.
Editors Note: The st. Paul Dispatch
and Pioneer Press dropped the racial tag
five years ago at the insistence of the
St. Paul Urban League.
Twin City dailies were
the first papers in the country to drop the
racial tag in news stories.

Gin addition, they could use sane
lions that would cancel the Selec-

ments of etc workers. They could
have the War Production Board re-
fuse priorities for materials. They
could settle the whole controversy
overnight. But they won't do it,
as this special privilege action
shows"
