A LII is not sunshine in the
N merger of the Sun and
the Times, which gives Mar
shall Field HI a pair of tab
loids, covering both the NOR
ming and afternoon fields, in
Chicago.
AS all Chicagoans know,
Field has dipped again into his
$140 millions to buy the after
noon Times and to reduce his
standard-siZe Sun to a five
column tabloid in the morning.
1t was a costly operation for
Field, but he had to do it in
order to get out from under
exhorbitant fees charged him
by John S. Knight, chain pub
Usher of the Daily News, for
office space and use OF News
mechanical equipment to put
out the Sun.
FIELD. liberal, has lost
about $4,000, 900, it is report
ed, in operating the Sun to
date. A considerable part of
that sum was gobbled up by
Knight, who made more profits
in his first year of operating
the News than he paid the es-
tate of Col. Frank Knox for
the paper.
The Sun merger with the
Times also has been costly
operation. Field paid about
S., $50, 900 for stock in order
to gain control of the Times.
The stock was selling for $12
a share five years ago and
Field was forced to pay the
hoidup price of $50.
Expenses of moving the Sun
into the Times, remodelling
the building and buying essen
tial added mechanical equip
ment is expected to bring the
cost. the consolidation, to the
elite neighborhood of $4,000
900.

ton per spindle and consolidate

capacity in strong managerial
hands,"
This concentration has made it
possible for the industry to "grap-
pie successfully" with such prob
lens as high labor costs, insult
ficient labor supply and other
factors, he declared. He cited as
an example the recent actions of
Textron, Inc, and its New Nashua
Plan, but neglected to report that
the plan included recently an
nounced intention to lay off more
than $500 New Hampshire work
ers, half it's work force, and move
to the south where young labor
can be bought cheap.
The committee gave no indica-
ton, however, that it intended to
probe the basic organization and
policies Of the textile industry in
an effort to determine the reasons
for further price boost in mems
shirts.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-10-04

The witness, E. c. Pfeffer of
Cluett Peabody & Co, makers of
Arrow shirts, said he was unable
to give the committee any infor-
nation on the profits per shirt,
but charged that higher wages and
material costs were responsible for
the So % rise in shirt prices since
1899.
At the same time, however, an
issue of the national business and
financial weekly publication, Bar
ron's, appeared on newsstands
with information the committee
might well examine if it is seek
ing an answer to the price prob
lem.
UNDER the headline, Fewer

Robert M. Bleiberg pointed out
that the textile industry is in its
strongest" position in years be-
cause it has managed to cut pro-
duction capacity, speed up produc-

sincerely that the combined
newspapers will be successful.
But there are a number of
competent observers who have
some fears for Field.
His financial troubles on the
Sun can be traced largely to
selection of bad executives. He
started the Sun, in 1941, in
quite a hurry. He wanted ac-
ton against the moribund Chi
cago Tribune, which was play
ing footsie lovingly with the
fascistS.
Field was not a newspaper
man, and he had to hire men
with vast experience = he
thought-to make the Sun a
going concern.
AS BOSS of his papers he
selected Silliman Evans many
people thought his first name
was appropriated, Southern
gentleman who thought $50
week was enough money for
any reporter.
Silliman brought in Rex
Smith, one Of newspaperdom's
chronic frees, as editor. AS
managing editor and city edi-
tor, Field was saddled with
George A. Dewitt and John
Dienhart, a couple of Hearst
'hirelings who had been bounc-
ing along with Irene Castle
McLaughlin's anti-vivisection
campaigns for years.
Dewitt had the added dis
tinction of having been en-
ployed by Cissie Patterson's
Washington Times-Herald and
Dienhart was the union-hating
executive who baited the
American Newspaper Guild
into striking the, Chicago Her.
d-Examiner and American in
1888.
DIENHART had promised
Hearst to smash the Guild for
all time with the Chicago
strike. Instead, the strike kill
ed the Herald-Examiner-thus
making room for the Sun-and
cost Hearst $4,000, 900.
tAt present. Dewitt is man.

AU progressive chicogooms are

are still BY far the t7eo best Of
the Chicago dailies.
Hoeerer, there IS a gro1oing
fear, strengthened By the recent
'.right" tendencies Of these papers
and By the character of the men
around Field" that these papers
are in danger Of going the zeoy Of
the rest of the millionaire press.

paper" in which they would
be able to write as they pleased.
But a series Of purges, that
tore up the Sun under five city
editors in four years gave the
bounce to scores of top-notch
newsmen, wiped out those
ideas.
FIELD hoped, in taking over
the profit-making Times, that
he was getting high-spirited,
confident staff of people. May
be, instead, he made another
tragic mistake.
With the Times, he acquired
Richard J. Finnegan, one of
the most successful opportun-
lists in the publishing business.
Finnegan became publisher of
the Times. after the death of
its founder, S. E. ThomaSen.
He now is editorial czar of the
two tabloids, the Sun and
Times.
Time magazine recently de-
scribed Finnegan as "decep-
lively benign" That was, in
Times own style, an apt
phrase. Many of the people
who work for him use more
coiorful language, however.
FINNEGAN is one of the
very, very few newspaper men
who started out as a acuba re-
porter and who is going to die
a millionaire, or almost. He
passed up no opportunities
along the route And he's still
going strong-as per the 500
share stock sale to Field.
With the Times, Finnegan
always paid lip service to
President Roosevelt and the
New Deal. But he was sus--
pected of talking nice out of
the other side of his mouth
to the National Association of
Manufacturers.
The lack of sunshine on the
merged papers may be best
recognized among the ex-serv-
ice men on the. Times editorial
staff. They are colder, toward
Finnegan, than well-digger's
toes in Alaska.
AMONG them are couple
who spent time in prison
camps, filters who risked their
lives over Europe and Japan,

men who fought for weeks IN
the line against the Germans
and Japs. One of the editorial
people, copy boy, was killed
in Europe. A plaque hangs for
him in the city room. But Mr..
Finnegan had his preferred list.
He used the dodge of essen
tai workers" under the Selec-
tive Service Act to save his
favorites.
One editorial executive, Mar
vim Mccarthy, volunteered for
the Navy. He was the excep-
ton among the bosses
RELIABLE reports are that
Marshall Field, the sugar
daddy" has been stuck with
fat, long term contracts for the
top-money executives. The pat
tern cut on the Sun in its early
days seems to be under duph-
cation in the merger.
Silliman Evans brought in
his reactionary favorites to run
the Suns departments; Rich
ard Finnegan has done the
same in the Suns re-birtA as
a tabloid.
Throughout the war years,
Times stock was being passed
out at bargain-counter prices
to Finnegan's Fat Cats.
They knew Field would have
to buy the Times-and they
realized the price Finnegaa
would get back for the stock
when that time came.
Three veterans quit their
editorial department jobs in
the weeks just before the mer-
ger. They resigned because the
Times, wouldn't pay them
enough money to support them
selves or their families, they
said, They, naturally, hadn't
been dealt in on the stock
profits. 80 IS.
THE TIMES Signed a one
year Guild contract with edi-
terial employees last February.
For several months before the
contract agreement, the man
agement refused TO grant any
merit increases because there's
a new contract coming up and
we want to know where we
stand"
Since the contract was sign
ed, there have been few, if
any, increases for good work
done-and fewer bonuses. Fin
negan's Fat Cats were raking
in the cash by the tens of
thousands OF dollars, but the
working people got none of it.
There has, of course, been
no general increase since Feb
ruary to cover the tremendous
cost Of living jump. Finnegan
and his favored ones need not
worry about 81 pound ham,

BY the time Field got around
to getting rid of Evans, Smith,
Dewitt, Dienhart and others,
they had dropped the Sun into
mediocrity. Morale was, and
has been ever since, at the
nadir point among Sun en-
ployes, particularly in the edi-

DORM STRIKE HURTS YMCA

New York-The strike of the residents of the Harlem YMCA is being carried on to serious proportions as far as phases of the Y work are concerned.
 First of all the Branch is in the midst of a financial drive and many people who do not un- derstand the nature of the strike are not inclined to manifest their same interest in giving. Second, with all of the national agitation that is going on to prevent some forces from get ting through Federal legislation that will remove rent ceilings, it is a poor time for a charitable agency to be getting such pub licity. And third, the cafeteria service at the Harlem Y that has always been source of large revenue, is now showing signs of tn public reaction to the present situation.
 The strikers are basing their claim around the fact that the retns have been raised three times betwee nJune l, 1945 and January l, 1947. The first raise took tn rents up $25 additional a year, the second pushed them to $52 more a year and the last raise, would have added $52 again. They claim that the general raises contemplated a general increase of $42,O0O a year. Or as the strikers have very graphically put it, "the Y is demanding $175,00O per year for PIP permanent beds in a proposed budget of $445, ,0OO.

WHITE PRIMARY HEARINGS FOR
 WHITES ONLY

Atlanta-No Georgian whose Negro blood Is manifested in an abundance of augmentation in the skin was permitted to at tend the legislative committee hearings on the White Primary bill. This decision was reached by Senator Logan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Georgia Senate.
 Senator Logan felt that un- der no circumstance was an in fraction of the no mixing laws of Georgia to be tolerated. And therefore he recommended that if any citizen other than white desired to express an opinion it would have to be in writing.

YALE PROFESSOR CLARIFIES STAND

New Haven-Bro. Ralph Lin ton, athropologist at Yale has recently made a complete state ment aimed at the clarification of an erroneous remark that Senator Bilbo made concerning his views and opinions on race.
 Senator Bilbo circulated the following statement as having come from Dr. Linton: With in nine generations we will have no whites and no blacks, only yellow. ,"
 Prof. Linton in his recent statement had the following to say: Most anthropologists agree there will be no Negro problems in another 200 years. By then there will be enough recognizable colored people left in this country to constitute a problem.
 Dr. Linton bases his predic- tion that the colored man is be- coming the vanishing American upon three facts: First that the overall proportion of colored to whites is declining despite the fact that the former has been steadily increasing since the first census of them in 1790. Second the group is no longer concentrated in the South, but redistributed more evenly thru the country. Third and most important is the fact that color ed people are steadily becoming lighter in complexion.

 While talk I want to give a word of hope to the colored people of the United States who have produced a George Wash ington Carver and a Booker T. Washington. I also want to say that the colored race fur nished no conscientious object ors in Word War I. When they were called they came. l know this because I was with the War Risk Insurance Bureau during World War I. And when Ne groes were called to military service they came gladly . they fought bravely and died as gallantly as white men fought and died.

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL FUND TO BE CREATED BY STAMFORD MINISTERS By Georgianna Nicholson

An unusual medical case which attracted much attention recently among the surgeons of the Stamford Hospital has acted as a simulant for a huge and needy project to be estab- lished.
 A few days ago a young Ne gro mother gave birth to a child abdominally. This moth er's unusual experience result ed after a full term of abdomi- nal pregnancy, one of nature s rarest phenomena. She re- received numerous blood trans fusions and special nursing care. Proper medical care for the mother is more than the husband can afford and the churches of the community are now soliciting contributions for the cause. The mother is still critically i'll at this writing.
 This situation created within the Negro Ministers of the City a desire to establish an organ ization to create a hospitaliza- tion fund for such needy cases that may arise in any future emergency. Such a fund would act as a new precedent for the State and many other cities will no doubt follow along the same lines.

SPORTSCASTER
 WWRC HAS NEGRO

New York-The records seem to indicate that the only Negro sportscaster on a national radio hook-up is Jocko Maxwell of Station WWRL.
 He has been broadcasting for 15 years. His first experience came with the now defunct WNJ and carried on with sev- eral others until he finally land ed at WWRL. Sportscaster Marty Glickman of WIN got his first introduction to the air waves through Jocko, when Glickman was starring in foto- ball in local high school cir clues.
 It was in 1922 that Jocko got his real break at WWRL, after he had been with the station a number of years. At that time he was made Sports Director of the station.
 When the war came Jocko went with the colors and served with the 375th Engineers in England, France, Germany, Bel gium, Holland and then was changed to the Pacific treatre.
 Now he is back in his old job and carries on with his Eport- scope three times week, on Thursday, Friday and Satur- day.
