Murphy's prepared statement
cited the inability of Negro news
papers to raise the price of their
publications any further or of
shifting much of the costs of pub
fishing to advertisers. The small
margain of profit now realized,
he said, is not enough to absorb
the increases now contemplated.
Rising costs on all sides have made
the publishing of Negro papers a
difficult matter, he added. The
proposed legislation "will work a
paralyzing hardship on these pap
ers even to a point where their act

N. c.'s Gov. Scott
Pro.civiI Rights Prexy
AS j. s. Senator

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., April 2.
(ANP)-In a surprise move
here last week, Gov. Kerr Scott
announced the appointment of
DR.. Frank P. Graham, p~ro-civil
rights president of the University
of North Carolina as U. S. Sen
ator to succeed the lat J. Melville
Broughton who died on March 6
in Washington. The appointment
was made at a campus dinner.
DR.. Graham noted as a strong
civil rights advocate, educator
and scientist is to serve untilthe
1850 general election when a sue
cessor will be chosen to finish
the six-year term of broughton
which began in January.
The 63-year-old educator has
been president of the greater Uni
versity of North Carolina since
1880, but was frequently called
upon by Presidents Roosevelt
and Truman to serve on a number
of commissions at home and
abroad. Known as a mediator,
DR.. Graham has publicly stated
his leanings toward anti-poll tax
and anti-lynching legislation and
"equal fright of qualified Negroes
to vote in both primaries and
general elections. His advent in
to the ranks of southern senators
is viewed as bolstering President
Truman's civil rights program if
and when it comes up before
congress again.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-04-02

Earlier in the year, Graham was
accused in Congress Of lending
his prestige to Communist-front
organizations, a charge to which
he replied, 81 have always been
opposed to Communism and all
totalitarian relationships"
He served on the Presidents
Commission on Civil Rights.

-ual existence would be jeopar-
died.
Murphy pointed out to the COM
mittee that the unwillingness of
many large national advertisers to
use the Negro press has made
these papers rely very heavily
upon circulation for a substantial
amount of their gross revenue.
Anything which tends to curtail
circulation would indeed have
dire effects upon the business, he
contended. Mail rate increases, for
this reason, he concluded are
Objectionable.

Supporting this move or the
part of the defense was the
opening statement by Atty. Harry
Sacher, former United Transport
Workers unions legal representa-
tive, who is representing three Of
the II Communist leaders.
Attributing "deeply altruistic
motives" to explain his clients

pointed to the case of Benjamin
Davis, Negro councilman of New
York City. He said Davis grand
mother was a Negro slave in the
south. despite h~andicaps, he
made his way through Amherst
university, graduated from Har-
ward Law School and was admit
ed to practice" He pictured Da-
Wis and his other two clients as
