CHI. DAILY HIRES
FIRST NEGRO
REPORTER

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Flet-
cher Martin, city editor of the
Louisville Defender and also the
first Negro recipient of Nieman
fellowship, will be the first col
ored staff writer for the Chicago
Sun-TimeS when he joins that
daily newspaper about April Is.
Martin has been with the De-
fender, a weekly newspaper, for
some 10 years. He received the
Nieman award for outstanding
work in his field. About IL jour
naliStS received the award each
year.
During World War II he served
as a correspondent in the South
Pacific theater for the Defender
and later for the National News
paper Publishers Association.
Besides his duties with the De-
fender, Martin has conducted
weekly radio program, Stories
of Our Town." on a local station.
The Sun-Times is considered
one of the liberal dailies in the
country. 1t is owned by Marshall
Field,
Sigma Delta Chi, national pro-
fesSional journalism fraternity,
last week awarded its public ses-
vice award to the Sun-TimeS for
the papers crusade for justice in
the Michael Moretti murder case.
The daily was credited with OBJ
a policeman who shot two youths
of Mexican descent to death fol-
lowing a barroom brawl. The
judge who presided over this
trial was Negro, Wendell E.
Green.
The hiring of Martin brings to
a total of three the number of
colored men working on the edi-
torial staffs of Chicago daily
newspapers. Both the Herald
American and the Daily N w
each has a reporter who is not
confined to strictly Negro news.

JACKSON, Miss. - (ANP) -
A section devoted exclusively to
Negro news made it debut last
week in the Jackson (Miss.) Daily
News, newspaper which has
been noted for its uncomplimen-
tary reporting of news concern
ing colored persons.
NEGRO Activities" is the "stet"
head of the section which boasts
of being the only one published
in a Jackson Daily newspaper
devoted to news about civic and
cultural activities of colored citi-

Two columns make up this sec
ton every day but Saturday. On
Saturday an entire page is de-
voted to Negro news.
An analysis of the news con-
tent for the first week disclosed
stories of the activities of clubs,

groups. However, nothing con-
cerned civil rights, segregation, or
other issues which might offend

Budget Cuts 'phony,'
Business Groups Charge
By The Assoeioisd Press

The Council Of State Chambers
of Commerce says Congress voted
about $8.4 billion less than Presi-
dent Truman asked but that some
of the cuts were "phony."
It described the reductions in
the Presidents budget request for
the 1853 fiscal year as "far less
than advocates Of economy had
hoped to achieve"
In an analysis Of the appropria-
tionS made by the lawmakers ct
the session ended Monday. the
council said last night that some
Of the reductions made on paper
simply deferred spending until
later.
AS examples it cited cuts Of $140
million In veterans readjustment
benefits, Of another $40 million
n public assistance grants to the
States and $7S million In Federal
aid for highways.
The council said funds have to
be provided to meet the Govern
ment's obligations for such pro-
grams.

and Harold Stassen to rally be-
hind him. He doesn't, therefore,
represent any compromise but
q victory for the Taft forces,
who don't seem to have q major
ity in sight anyhow. There's
nothing against Bob Taft as a
person-it's his views that are
opposed by q majority Of the
delegates.
Efforts will be made to- press
Gen. MacArthur's candidacy If
the Eisenhower bandwagon
doesn't prevail on the first or
second ballot. But, since the
delegates will see that Gen.
MacArthur's main strength will
be coming from Senator Taft,
it will signalize q crumbling of
Senator Taft's delegate support
rather than any accretions from
the Eisenhower side.
The Eisenhower forces have
wisely fought the contested dele
gate issues to q finish and have
insisted twice on q ballot Of
decision on the floor. This
meant that they had oppor-
tunities to show by two roll call
votes that they had a stop-Taft
combination in full operation.
The hackers of compromise can
didates could not take too much
encouragement from such q
staunch coalition. which in real
ity has twice upheld by good
majorities the Eisenhower con-
tentions in the matter. Of con-
tested delegates.
AS the Eisenhower forces
stand firm, 1t is apparent that
they must inevitably reach a
maximum strength on about the
second or possibly the third bal
lot and 60 over before then or
not at all. At this writing, it
is entirely possible they may go
over the majority line on the
first ballot If Gov. Warren of
California releases his own dele
gates. Certainly it must be re-
ported that. at the end of the
first three days Of the conven-
ton, the Eisenhower chances of
winning the nomination have
grown steadily better as those Of
Senator Taft have declined.

Constantine Brown:

Last Monday the American
liner United States took away
the title Of queen of the seas
from the British Queen Mary.
On Tuesday night the only liv-
ing former President Of the
United States, Herbert Hoover.
took away the title of world
statesman from Britain's VIM
ston Churchill.
Both men are nearly the same
age-Mr. Hoover will be 70 next
August and Mr.. Churchill will
reach that age in November.
But while the British Prime
Minister Is now definitely on
the downgrade and whatever
respect he commands is due to
his past. Mr.. Hoover seems only
now to be coming into his own.
Mr.. Churchill was a flamboy-
ant orator until about two years
ago. He was coming sentences
but seldom. in recent years. did
he provide ideas.
Mr.. Hoover showed himself
Tuesday to be a better speaker
than he was earlier in life. He
used no trick sentences or lofty
words. He tried to reach the
minds of people. not their hearts.
But his speech gripped the au-
dience because it was down to
earth and showed more common
horse sense than the speeches
of Britain's greatest orator of
the century" In the Republi-
can former Presidents speech
there was more drama in what
he said than in how he said it.
Under more normal conditions
than those In which we now live.
Mr.. Hoover's address before the
Republican convention would
have been cheered by friends
and foes alike. But today a seq
ment of American political lead
ers and the public are bound to
label it dangerously isolationist.
Mr.. Hoover explained his "iso-
lationism" in language which
did not go above the head Of
anybody who wants to listen to

aboard the train when it does
start moving"
So it Is with the bandwagon.
There comes a crucial moment
when the delegate who wants
to WELD an influence inside his
party, wants to be known as
one of the originals" at
Chicago. cannot afford to hold
on too long to q candidate who
may be slipping. The rational-
ization that takes place inside
the mind of the wavering dele
gate soon begins to express it
self in q suddenly acquired
passion for party harmony"
or for a united party"
The biggest influence is
psychological. It's strange how
a bandwagon does get started,
because for days and days be-
fore a convention the talk of
deadlock and of q combina-
ton to stop the leading candi-
date in his tracks goes on as If
it would never give way to an
actual choice.
What has happened this time
is that Senator Taft. on the
first test vote Monday, was
stopped. Then came talk of q
compromise. Gen. MacArthur's
keynote speech was supposed to
stampede the convention. But 1t
didn't. Then talk Of other COM
promises ensued. But there's an
old rule at conventions which
says: "You can't beat somebody
with nobody" Translated into
terms Of this week, it means
that Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower are the two best ad-
vertised names before the Amer
ican people today as out-and-
out candidates and that nobody
else can be built up in q three
month campaign who could do
as well.
The case Of Gen. Macarthur,
Of course. is . bit different. He
is well and favorably known.

himself 100 per cent with the

ground forces. the only hope for
the salvation Of the free world is
the creation Of a powerful Amer
lean air force which could
threaten destruction to the So
Wet land should Stain and his
cohorts decide to change the
cold war into a shooting war.
Mr.. Hoover, who sthrough his
contacts in this country and
abroad is probably one Of the
best informed men in America,
reminded his listeners of the
interchangeable power Of the
u. s. S. r. and her satellites in
ground forces. He warned his
audience that even If the present
goal Of SIS Western European
divisions were achieved. they
would represent only q small
force compared with the ITS
flrst-Iine divisions Of the Soviets.
And he added that the goal
set by the NATO for this year
is highly unlikely to be reached.

sions. is still mostly a blueprint.
