New York Daily
Under Attack
For New Bias

New York = The long sMolder-
ing resentment of many years du-
ration Of a large section of the
population of New York City
against the anti-Jewish and anti
Negro bias in the columns of the
Daily News came to a dramatic
head this week when the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress presented it's
case against The News at a hear
ing on the newspapers applica-
tion for an FIN license.
Despite the fact that Congress
was not an applicant for an FIN
license and therefore not a party
to the hearing, the Federal Com
munieations Commission reversed
it's earlier decision and permitted
the AJC to intervene and cross
examine officials of the Daily
News on anti-Semitic and anti
Negro articles which it has pub
lished. 1t two full days of testi-
mony the AJC presented an air.
tight case to prove a consistent
policy of bias on the part of New
York's largest tabloid newspaper.
Setting a new pattern in the
fight against discrimination and
bigotry in New York City, this was
the first time that documentary
and statistical evidence that The
News helps to promote racial an
tagonisms was placed on the Of
fetal records of a government
body.
1t was also the first time that
high officials in the Patterson
Mccormack newspaper empire
were forced to take the stand and
attempt to explain the twenty
eight false and vicious articles
which the AJC introduced in evil
dence. Francis F. Flynn, The
News business manager, was fore
ed to admit that The News has
published articles which might be
construed as anti-Semite, but said
that "The News regretted it then,
and regrets it today"
His regrets, however, were null
lifted by the implied threat In
The following sentence which he
addressed directly to Will Mas
low, Director of the Commission
on Law and Social Action (CLSA)
of the American Jewish Congress:
"And the situation is not be-
ing helped by the fight your or
ganization is making. You may at
tain your temporary objective,
namely to knock us out of a radio
station, but 1 cannot see how it
is going to help you from a long
range point of view"
Among the exhibits on which
Mr.. Maslow cross-examined Mr..
Floynn were ten News editorials
containing anti-Semite statement
and eight columns by John o.
Donnell, the News Washington
columnist. The O'Donnell pices
ranged from reprint in 1888
of an anti-Semitic phamplet by
Silver Shirt leader William Pei
ley to his two false and viciously
misleading stories which he was
forced to retract after the dam
age was done: one on General Pat
ton and the Jews, and the most
recent one on the resignation"
of four Supreme Court Judges
which President Truman branded
as Enthusiastically untrue"
Mr.. Flynn admitted on cross
examination that Mr.. O'Donnell
was still an employee of the News

DEMAND CLEANUP Of

Influenced Vet Action

force the withdrawal of state sup
port from Jackson College be-
cause Negro Veterans attending
the college voted in the July End
election, in which Negro Citizens
of Mississippi voted in a state
wide Democratic primary for the
first time in seventy years has
become the subject of widespread
discussion and increasing con-
Germ among the Negro citizens of
the state.
According to reliable but I'M
confirmed reports prominent
and influential member of the
state legislature, protesting the
veterans voting, has written a
letter to the members of the State
Board for Institutions of Higher
Learning demanding a cleanup
of the college, stating that upon
the failure of the board to take
action he would take the floor at
the next session of the legisla-
ture and demand that state sup
port of the college be stopped.
The action of the member of
the legislature is said to have
followed a strongly worded edi-
torial which appeared in the
JACKSON DAILY NEWS with
reference to the veterans at the
college voting and an eyewitness
story of the event written by
Ralph Matthews and printed in a
recent issue of the New Amster-
dam News, a New York Negro
newspaper.
Under the caption, "HEADING
FOR TROUBLE" the editorial in
the Jackson Daily News said,
Here's a matter into which our
board of trustees of Higher
Learning and the state depart
ment of education should do some
investigating"
Jackson College, formerly a Ne
gro UNCONVENTIONAL institution,
located in the southwestern SUI
burbs of Jackson, was purchased
by the state and converted into
training school for Negro teach
ers.
AS such, the school can and
should serve a very useful pur-
pose, but in recent weeks it has
developed that a goodly amount
of propaganda for political and
social equality has had its origin
within the walls of that institu-
ton. 1t was at Jackson College
that two automobiles were loaded
up with young Negroes on the
morning of July End and driven
to the former home of Senator
DIlOO " NC fOtCN.
An eyewitness story of the
event was printed in the New
Amsterdam News, New York
Negro newspaper, written by
Ralph Andrews, a somewhat noted
racial agitator, Matthews was
sent here especially for that pur-
pose, and in his story he quotes
one of the Negroes who voted as
follows:
The young men / met in Mis-
sissippi Monday Night changed
my mind. World War II Veter-
ans, attending Jackson College
under the CT Bill of Rights, these
young men have a vision that is
inspiring eve are going to re-
make Mississippi in our time, We
have long range program" they
explained, "but we fire the first
shot tomorrow"
BllbO has threatened us with
violence if we attempt to vote.
One of our comrades has already
been beaten up for attempting to
register, but if they kill us all,
we are going to vote against Bilbo
tomorrow and we are going to
vote at the polling place in his
own house."

The dinner was addressed by Robert
Macy, executive vice chairman of the
Democratic National committee. In a
direct jab at Wheeler he said Mon
tana had a man in congress of whom
it should be ashamed. Any doubt that
it was Wheeler of whom he spoke was
dispelled by his remarks Immediately
following when he vigorously con-

His remarks were met by thunderous
applause. His speech was fighting

short talk by Judge Hugh Adair whose
prominent position at the head table
close to Macy and his being placed
