Walter White Is
Among 81 Men
Who Run America

NEW YORK - Walter White was
named one Of the sixty-four men who
run America by John Cunther in the
September issue Of al" magazine. Mr..
Cunther, the author Of the current
best-seller, Inside U. S. A., ascribed
the power of the executive secretary Of
the NAACP to the fact that the bal
ance Of power in no fewer than seven
teen states depends on the Negro vote.
The difference between Mr.. Cuniher
listing Of the wielders Of power in the
United States and the tabulation Of in
fluential men made in 1880 by James
W. Gerard is indicative Of the changes
which have taken place in this country
during the last seventeen years. Where
as Mr.. Cerard's list was composed al.
most entirely of tycoons, Mr.. Cunther'
selections include men from various
occupations. The growing Importance
of the Negro in national life and the
increasing importance of the Negro
vote attested to by the selection Of
Walter White by Mr.. Cunther as one
OF the men who guide the destinies Of
the United States.

necessary to protest to the New York

paper. The following excerpts are from
a letter written by Madison S. Jones
Jr., administrative assistant, to Mrs
Helen Rodgers Reid, President of the
New York Herald Tribune:
"The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People feels
that this cartoon was most insulting.
The gross ~caricatures of Negroes por-
trayed in the picture were indicative
Of the most exaggerated ~s:ereotypes
and its publication by the Tribune
schocked and astounded us. For some
time we have felt that the New York
Herald Tribune has been foremost in
the fight for a fair and equitable press
for all Americans, but with the ap-
p~earance of the cartoon n question it
would appear that the policy Of the
paper had radically changed.
I'VE are asking that an apology be
made to all readers of your paper and
that steps be taken to insure any re.
currence Of such offensive material.
We have had many calls from persons
who have identified themselves not
only as Negroes but as whites, who
felt that the cartoon was an insult to

billions OF l94l.
DR.. H. 3. Wellman, director Of the
University of California Clam Founda-
ton of Agricultural Economics, In
pointing out this increase, says l947
income probably will be even larger
In the first seven months Of 1947,
nhtibnal cash receipts from farm
~marketings we're q per cent higher
than in the same period last year;
cash receipts from livestock and live
stock products were up 30 per cent;
those from crops rose y per cent.
1t is possible the gains over 1916
will not be maintained during the
rest of le47, but they were exception
ally large last year, prices having ris-
en- to new high levels when ceilings
were removed, and remaining high.
Farm production expenses, though
are also higher than last year. In July
le47, the index Of prices paid by far.
mers was 10 per cent over a year ear
lier, and farm wages were up seven
per cent. Hence, some of the gross in.
come will be absorbed by higher costs.
Nevertheless, lo47 will go down in
