Negroes fear today, analyzing
change in the Negro weekly's
policies.
Here are some of the develop
ments which have aroused con-
Germ:
/. Liberal writer's. including
DR.. w. E. B. Dubois. have been
purged.
z. Publisher John Sengstacke
has joined with Col. Mccormick
of the Tribune and other news
paper publishers in a union bust
ing campaign.
3. The Defender has repeatedly
attacked the Wallace movement
and tied itself to the Democratic
Party. forgetting that it used to
praise Wallace as an even greater
friend of the Negro people than
Franklin -. Roosevelt.

THE Defender management
apparently doesn't want it's read
ers to know the direction in
which it is heading.
When The Star recently ques-
toned Louis Martin, managing
editor, about reports that Dubois
has been dropped from the staff,
Martin said there was nothing
to it."
But liberals here have received
letters from the great Negro
leader. informing them of his dis
missaI. And his column has not
appeared in the Defender in re-
cent weeks.
DUBOIS. an eminent sociolo-
gist and historian who heads the
research department of the Natl
Assn. for the Advancement of
Colored People, was dropped by
the Defender, ironically, at ex-
actly the same time that he was
receiving the highest praise ever
given to a Negro.
The praise came from another
great historian, Henry Steele
Comrnager of Harvard Univer-
sity, who is now lecturing for a
time at Cambridge University in
England.
In an article in '48 magazine.
Commager listed Dubois as one
of the six living persons who
most influence American thought.
THE Men Who Make Up Your
Mind"
DUBOIS. a leader in the Wal
lace movement, "best represents
the aspirations of the Negro
people," Commager declared.
Among the other liberal writ
ers who have been purged by
the Defender are Earl Conrad,
author of "Jim Crow America"
and biographer of Harriet Tub
man; S. I. Hayakawa, English
professor at the Illinois Institute
of Technology, author of Lam
guage in Action" and one of the
ablest experts on semantics in
the world; and Vernon Jarrett,
labor editor, whose journalistic
talent was first recognized when
he edited one of the Army's best
newspapers in World War II.
The purge of liberals claimed
an increasing number of victims
at the Defender after Sengstacke
joined publishers of the daily
newspapers in an attempt to
smash Chicago Typographical
Union No. 16.

SENGSTACKE first agreed to
a settlement-and actually paid
the higher wage scale-for few
days. But for some reason, pos

fishers, he changed his mind and
