Mississippi PaPer
Charges Rowan With
Bad Reporting

Jackson, Miss. CAMP The
South-How Far From Slavery p
picture story appearing in the
current issue Of Look mazaginC
by Carl T. Rowan, staff writer OF
the Minneapolis Tribune, was
sharply criticized by a Mississippi
daily last week as a case of bad
reporting"
Printed in the McComb Enter.
prise-Journal, the editorial was
greatly pubhcized in the Jackson
Daily News.
The editorial stated that Look
magazine evidently thought il was
rendering a service to the Negro
race when IL published the story
on segregation"
The writer, stated the editorial
proclaimed that these ills, (pov,
erty, disease, etc. were the re-
suit of segregation. But this is the
contrary. Rather segregation is
the result of the conditions of the
Negroes"
Looks writer confused the
cause with the effect and the ef-
feet with the cause" the article
continued.
The editorial denied that segre-
cation was the cause of conditions
of Negroes as reported by Rowan,
and stated that segregation is the
result of a cultural lag which un-
fortunately accompanied the Ne
gro race in the period of history
which included his forced migra.
ton to this country"
Rowan declares in his article
the American Negro has made
greater strides toward true free
dom in the past nine years than
in any other nine years in history
But despite talk, he wrote, New
South, completely free with com
plete equality of educational, so
cial and economic opportunity, is
stin far away"
The Mississippi paper claimed
instead that the handicap in this
country today is that the masses
of Negroes are being sold down
the river by a Negro leadership
that is more concerned with dis
associating itself with its own
race than it is with breaking down
segregation to lift the Negroes

white benefit from segregation,

determinations of race should be
eliminated but spreading the idea
too rapidly hurts more than it
helps
In answering Rowans state
ments in his story, the paper said
that even though segregation
will someday BE- a far less prob
lem, it does not mean the incom-
ing of social equality and a lot of
other things placarded under this
banner"
Summarizing its editorial criti-
cism on the Look story, it said
whatever condition found among
Negroes in the south, so can they
be found among whites Of the
south. And the same conditions,
states the article. can be- found
just as appalling in the north.

Louis VS.. PGA: The big hula
bulu of the past six days was the
attempted barring of Joe Louis
from the San Diego Open Golf
Tournament by the Professional
Golf Association. After Joe start
ed throwing punches in the direc-
ton of Horton Smith, PGA presi-
dent and others for their lily
white rules he was permitted to
enter the tournament. To date,
however, the other Negro profess
sional golfers who sought partici-
patton have not been allowed to
enter the play.
Nationwide indignation welled
up so loud that the PGA de-
cided to allow Louis to partici-
pate.

if Winchell were the liberal he
pretends to be, he wouldn't have
to keep shouting that he is a lib,
eral. Winchell's stock has sunE
with liberals from all corners OF
the country.
Getting back to the New Yorl
Post expose" on Winchen, it telk
how little Winchell has to do witt
his so-called writing his column
He has three high priced ghost
writer's along with a number OF
press agents doing his daily col,
umn.
For at least six months of every
year, WinChell spends his time in
Miami vaCationing while his daily
column is being sent out of New
York.
The Post has for IL years
checked and rechecked Winchells
doings in back copies of his col,
umn. In a good many cases, his

war on Russia on his weekly
broadCasts and his recommends
tions to movies or theatres and
the stage are nothing but make
believe, according to the New
York Post writer's. Only on rare
occasions does ne attend the
theatres. They say that his
schooling was up to the eighth
grade and his reviews on movies
or recommendations that you can
find by the dozens are usually
planted by press agents and some
of the high priced ghost writer's
that admit they are on his pay
roll. He rarely reads a book, sees
a movie or attends a stage play
opening night.
The guy who labels himself as
a liberal CWinchenD in recent
months has given full compliment
tary columns many times to such
opposites of liberalism as Mac
Arthur and Mccarthy.
Last summer, he claimed a ma
tional newspaper first by giving
Frank Costello, the mobster a
favorable feature story that was
carried in most of the leading
papers in America.
Because we have been a reader
of his New York column for some
20 years we feel that we know
what we're writing about when
we say that the man isn't exactly
what you call Kosher" Far from
it,
For nearly 20 years. hardly a
day goes by without a mention of
the Stork Club. Even on his Sun
day broadCasts, he plugs the
place, in fact, he let's it be known
that he has an office right next to

Club.
The expose" shows that WV.
doesn't boost anyone in his column
just because they're good or just
for nothing.
From the great liberal that he
pretends that he is, he has
changed to a reactionary, once
loved by millions because they
believed in him) he is now despis-
ed by millions.

also be a Winchell year.
