ruary IL in recognition and APP
probation of the great fight stag
| ed by Mr.. Greene, eliaor OF the
Jackson Advocate, in getting col
| ored people in large numbers to
try 10 register to vote and to
testify against infamous Bilbo.
In ther lettre they reminded me
hat any colored ditor who really
champions the emancipation OF
the oppressed from economic, poll
teal, and social bondage in the
| Deep South loses the support of the
powers that be and suffer under
sanctions of various sorts which
robs Inn of that which makes sur
vival possible. | should know my
own fight against the forces OF
prejudice, backWardneSs and en-
! slavement of colored people in
Alabama has cost me more than
100000 nj the past fifteen years.
The enlightened colored peo-
pie of Mississippi have grown up.
They have the ability to apprec-
! late the fact that Percy Greene's
fight is their fight. They appreci-
ate it enough to stage voluntarily
this Percy Greene Appreciation
Program, during finch they are
going give Percy several thou
sand of dollars. Not only has
Percy pu tn pa good fight, but
all those colored and white Miss
issippans who fight Bilbo, with
out regard to consequences, be-
cause they know they are right
make. the greatest contribution
against totalitarianism ever made
in the State of Mississippi. They
too should be voted an award as
the group in the deep South who
have contributed most to better
human relations in 1916. While |
am on the subject, | move that
so be it.
When fight is to be under
taken,/ The inevitable question
raises = who is going to feed the
fighter while he fights. Colored
people everywhere must come to
realize that it takes money to
oprate an army in a war, and no
army can fight a successful war
and finance itself. The people for
whom an army or individual
fights must furnish the finance to
back the attack. One can pretend
to fight for people or traffic in
human misery and injustices and
make money, but fighting for a I
people still cost what Lincoln
got at Ford's theatre, Jesus on
Calvary, Bahauallah in Persia, or
the things Monroe Trotter and
other true servants of mankind
endured.
We evidence growth when we
express appreciation as the Percy
Greene Appreciation Committee is
showing in Mississippi they
are raising money to give to Percy
in order that he night fight
godd fight mad keep the faith for
them. May their tribe increase!

Appreciation Sign OF Growth
Some years ago an outstanding
literary study club composed OF
some of the leading women OF a
large city invited James Saxon
Childress, an outstanding Jounal--
list, traveller, and lecturer, to de-
liver its annual special event. He
had just returned from a trip to
Africa where he had gone to study
the native life and culture of that
country. The TRIP involved the ex-
pcnditure of thousand of dollars
in actual money, to say nothing
of the time involved.
When, after thre weeks the
women had had no word from Mr..
Cnmildress, they decided to ask
a prominent man of the city to
call on him, and, on their behalf,
urge that he speaks for them. The
women's emissary was informed
by tn famed journalist that the in
vitation to speak had been duly
received and considered, but thot
he ha dnot replied because no
compensation had been mentioned.
Mr.. ChildreSs was told that the
club would be most happy to
pay him whatever he charged.
He told the emissary it was not
a matter of what the wome could
afford to pay, but it was import
ant that they show by offering
to pay whatever they COULD af-
ford that they appreciated the
cost involved in prparing himself
to be able to have something to
say which would justify his be-
ing their featured guest speaker.
They finally agreed on an honor
arium of S25.
SThe speaker Scame and showed
pictures of native life in both the
hinterland and the urban areas
of Africa, which by the way were
most revealing because they show
ed that the natives standard of
living is not far removed from
ours instad of etheif being saw
ages consumed with a desire to
boil and eat fat white peaple and
alot of other poppycock which
white propagandists have over
period Of more than a century
striven with all their might and
main to make the world believe.
In his closing remarks he again
explained the reason back of his
delay in accepting the clubs in
vitaton. He emphasized the grow
tn of an individual group or race
is evidenced by the degree which
the individual, group or race ex-
presses appreciation for the worth
OF values enpoyedl at the hands OF
others. He made it plain that the
honorarium that they were pay
ing him was in itself relatively
unimportant, but as a token of
appreciation it was indicative of
growth on the part of me club.
He then turned and gave the $50
othe director CT the colored BOYS
club to use as he saw fit in the
program of that character build
ing agency.
Recently, | had letter from
citizen committee, composed of
some of the best people in the
State Of Mississippi, informing me
Of a great statewide Percy Greene
Appreciation Program and dinner
staged at Campbell College Feb

Hinton's suit differs from that

compensatory damages only. Hin

Food Riots Reported
In I Romanian Areas
BY the Assoeioted Press

BUCHAREST, April 30.-Reports
reaching the Romanian capital yes
terday said food riots occurred over
the week end in Pennsylvania and
Banat Provinces and that two men
were killed.
Worst of the riots was at Arad,
in Banat Province. one of the rich
est of Romania, but now drought
stricken. One of those killed was
said to have been a trade union
leader in Arat, where textile work
ers went on strike protesting the
food shortages.
The spring drought in the two
provinces followed a famine in Mol
davia, where emergency American
food shipments were sent recently.
Official reports said barely so per
cent of Romania's tillable acres
have been sown and that all the
crops were killed by frost or drought
in many districts.
Bucur Shiopul, undersecretary of
foreign trade, left Bucharest by
plane for Paris, London, New York,
Washington and Buenos Aires in the
hope of entering into successful ne
gotiations for wheat and corn pur-
chases and broadening a $1,000 900
loan to S50,000,000 in talks with the

Congress Gets Plea
For Bill 10 Safeguard
Freedom Of Press
By fhe Associated prsss

resenting approximately 300 news.
papers, asked Congress today te
safeguard freedom of the press by
making it clear that newsgatherine
agencies may choose their owr
membership without violating the
antitrust laws
The newspapers Mr.. BIohm rep.
resents have organized into the
News Publishers Association tt
Amend the Antitrust Laws"
The association is supporting leg
islation introduced by Representa-
tive Mason, Republican, of Illinois
to clarity the status of news gather
ing agencies as a result of the 1945
Supreme Court decision in the Jus
tice Department antitrust suit
against the Associated Press.
The court directed the A. P. tc
amend its bylaws which permitted
members to consider the competi-
tive effect of an application for
membership.
HcdAiHSS On Dill opened.
The Mason bill would specify that
activities and operations of mutual
newsgathering agencies are not SUBJ
Ject to provisions of the Anti Trust
Act.
In a statement prepared for a
House Judiciary Subcommittee
opening hearings on the legislation
today, Mr.. Blohm emphasized that
no exemption or special privilege
of the publishers or of the press
association is advocated"
We favor the old antitrust law.
SO long as they apply to all indus.
tries alike, including the press" he
said, but We insist that they should
not be interpreted to discriminate
against press service companies.
This bill seeks for the press only
equal treatment with all other in
dustries under the antitrust laws
Mr.. Blohm termed the legisla-
tlon necessary ito assure continued
competition in the news agency ano
newspaper fields" and "to clear ur
the chaotic conditions existing in
the industry as a result of the
Associated Press decision"
Called Vital to Free Press.
"T'his legislation is necessary to
protect and preserve the constitu-
tional guarantee Of freedom of the
press" he said.
Rather than preventing monopoly
Mr.. Blohm claimed, the court de-
cision in the A. P. case "compels
A. P. to travel the road to monopoly
and ultimate Government regulation
And then you lose freedom of
the press" he added.
Mr.. Blohm said the Associated
Press decision is in direct con-
fiict with all prior decisions add
ing that it:
Denies to the press those reason
able contractual restraints which,
although lawful in all other in
dustries, are said by the Supreme
Court to be unlawful in this single
industry-paradoxically the only
industry specifically protected by the
Constitution against the perils of
Government encroachment."
A similar bill by Mr.. Mason was
approved by the Judiciary Commit
tee in the last Congress, but did
not reach the House floor.
