LutheransU Urged
To Take Bigger
Role in Politics
Seminary and College
Student Group Hears
COP. Representative

A Lutheran member of Con-
|gress today declared that the
Church las an organization must
take part in some degree in the
affairs of our Government"
Representative Tollesson, Re-
publican, of Washington told
Lutheran students attending a
seminar here, "the very existence
of our church is dependent in
some degree upon the extent to
which the church seeks to create
and preserve an atmosphere which
lis healthy to it's very existence"
"How far the church should
go is a question for study and
eventual decision" the speaker
said. 1T will require consider
able research and study on the
part of the church to decide how
much it should participate in
political affairs"
Speak Before Students.
The Representative spoke at a
seminar of Lutheran Theological
Seminary and college students
sponsored by the Division of Pub
lie Relations, National Lutheran
Council, and the Department
of Public Relations. Lutheran

The three-day meeting opened
today in Reformation Lutheran
Church, 211 East Capitol street.
Mr.. Tolleson said there was
"too much fogginess in our think
ing in connection with the church
and political matters. The fog in
which we are working is largely of
our own making"
Another speaker, the Rev. Jo-
seph Simonson, of New York, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Division
of Public Relations, National Lu-
theran Council, told the meeting
that church people owe it as a
duty to take part in political
affairs.
Christians i'm Politics.
1.-THE Christian must get into
political matters as Congress and
similar bodies are the tools we
have for good government" DR..
Simonson said. 1--WE cannot
stand apart with a holier-than-
thou attitude and have nothing
to do with politics"
The more than 100 students

Senator Sparknan has also said Senator Nixon would not meet him. although Senator Nixon replied that he would meet the Alabama Senator # date could be arranged which did not conflict with either's schedule.
 There has been some discussion though no per- sonal challenge from the candidates, of debate be- tween Governor Adla Stevenson of Illinois and Gen. era Dwight D. Eisenhower There is little doubt that the voting public would welcome such a meeting and hat the audience elevsion, radio and newspaper of such debate, would be tremendous.
 Additionally, presidential candidates do not meet in debate.

DeVoe used to tell her grand
children that she remembered
cutting down the grass around

sexton of the church for thirty
years and his son, Bob, and
sons are now and have been
for years caretakers of this

NEW YORK - Global) This
is Negro Newspaper Week, and
it's as good time as any to say
word about this segment of the
American press.
It is important that obServanceS
are held annually in connection
with newspaper week. 1t is re-
gre.table that the activities are
not more widespread and that
they are not given more emphasis
in local communities. Except for
a 15-minute radio broadcast, very
little else is done.
The American people are not
fully aware of the importance Of
the Negro Press, and Negroes par
ticularly are not conscious of the
overall significance of the Ne
gro Press. This, no doubt, explains
why so many otherwise intelli-'
gent Negroes like 70 boast of the
fact that they do not read Negro
newspapers" Most of the Ne
groes who scott at the Negro
Press are the better-trained ones
who hold the best jobs and high
est positions in the leadership
circles of their communities.
81 wouldn't have Negro
newspaper in my house," well
known social worker said the
other day. She was echoed by Q
we'll known Negro major league
baseball player. No one would
argue that Negro newspapers are
perfect, but one thing is certain:
These newspapers unquestionably
played a most important part in
opening the doors for Negroes in
the White collar professions, and
also in major league baseball.
1t is odd that newspapers that
can do such fine job Of praising
and building up everybody and
everything else, fail so miserably
in building up themselves. This
is especially true of the news
papers in the smaller and middle
groups. These newspapers are
much more important to their
communities than their editors
sometimes realize. Too often they
become confused and lose their
sense of values by attempting to
compare their activities with the
bigger newspapers. It is doubtful
if a newspaper in Sheridan, Wy
oming would seek to compare it.

that a weekly in Long Island

Press May Keep Mac
From Presidency

The Negro press of the nation,
may be the deciding factor in
General MacArthur's political
future, according to an article in
the juSt-out April issue of Pa
geant Magazine. The article, en-
titled "Our Protesting Negro
Press" asserts that the political
potency of Negro newspapers is a
national influence of which most
of the nation is not aware. OPP
position by most of the Negro
press to Macarthur may spell his
dome politically" says Pageant.
What is the Negro press? "Pri-
marily," says the article, 'it is
protest press demanding the
correction of injustice to a spe-
cific minority group. But it does
more than protest. 1t prints news
about Negro advancements, social
activities and cultural achieve
mems that are largely neglected
by the White press"
What do Negro editors publish?
MANY of their Stories" says Pa
geant, "are simply more detailed
versions of what the general
press publishes about Negroes.
Closely followed are the activi-
ties of Negro notables like Joe
Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson,
Marian Anderson, Lena Horne,
Josephine Baker, Juanita Hall,
Katherine Durham, Duke Filing
ton, Pearl Bailey and Louis Jor-
dan. Only IN Negro newspapers
can Negro society news be found"
The Negro press does not advo-
cate intermarriage of the races,
points out the Pageant article.
and sometimes even denounceS
Negro leaders who marry White
women. But it headlines news of
such unions and contends there
should be no law against them.
When Sergeant James Cheeks OF
Chicago became the first colored
Yank to marry a White fraulein
in Germany, one paper published
a picture six columns wide of the
ceremony.
While the Negro press agitates
for a better break for the Negro,
j. also attempts to make him a
more acceptable citizen. Every
newspaper publishes at least one
feature designed to improve the
manners of its readers.

sought adherents among the Ne

cram series, meet The Masters"
The series, which began last
month. is a new approach to
musical television programming.
'Meet The Masters" is a series
Of filmed telecasts built around a
true-to-life episode or scene,
which tends to dramatic and il
luStrate the personality of the
artist. Featured in the series, in
addition to Miss Anderson, will
be world renowned artists such as
Arthur Rubinstein. Jan Peerce,

list Jascha Heifetz opened the
series.
The Marian Anderson film told
the story of her life, indicating
her early struggles for a. musical
education. Viewers were also told
of her European successes follow
ed by her brilliant American ca
reer. The film also took viewers
to Miss Anderson's home, show

This should apply to the Negro
Press. The smaller papers can do
fine job for their respective
communities by striving to serve
the needs of those communities.
The smaller dailies and White
weeklieS are made strong through
the aid and support of the great
press associations. The growth of
Syndicates servicing the Negro
Press has been reflected in the
growth of the smaller Negro news
papers.
Future development of the
smaller Negro newspapers will
depend to great extent upon the
development and expansion Of
the Syndicates serving them.
1t is highly important that this
development of the Negro Press
should come about, because the
records will show that in any
community where there is Ne
gre newspaper - whether small
or large - the race relations and
racial advancement are notice
ably better. This is true even in
those cases where the Negro
newspaper is not particularly well
edited or well developed.
In a democratic country the
weight of public opinion is a
powerful factor in determining the
policies the community will follow
and the printed word Is power
full factor in creating and crystal
lizing public opinion. The newsr
paper is, In truth, really the
Fourth Estate of the realm"
Those Negroes who criticize the
Negro newspapers are playing into
the hands of those who would
muzzle the Negro Press In this
country If they could !. for the
Negro Press performs a great ser
vice in keeping a record Of Me-
gro life in America. 1t presses for
the Negroes rights, and 1t records
his achievements; 1t serves con-
slant notice on all Americans that
the Negro intends to press his
fight for full citizenship status.
Whether its critics like 1t or
not, the Negro Press Is here to
stay, and Negroes everywhere
should give 1t the support 1t de-
| serves and the credit it de-.
serves for helping to bring about
some of the privileges we now en-
joy.

State Assistance Dips

5,142 needy aged; lit needy blind;
and $3.50 dependent children. The
amounts, respectively, were $l97,-
SOS, $7,329.13 and $62,252.60.
Mr.. Zukernick said that he had
received word from Sherwood
Smith, State Welfare Director in
Jacksonville, that the number of
grants was lower than in any
month since April, l949.
There are several reasons for
the lower number of recipients
and the lower total grants, Mr..
Zukernick said. One is the broad
ening of the Old Age and Surviv-
ors Insurance (Social Security
program which now covers more
persons and has increased its
payments in many instances. An
other is increased payments in
other pension programs. Revisions
in the Federal and State welfare
laws and regulations, coupled with
limited funds, also have brought
about some changes.
Over the whole state assistance
grants totaled $685., 567 in Feb
ruary. OF that total, $2,296,957
came from Federal sources, and
Sl,240,6l0 from the States gen
eral revenue fund. The total OF
1892 persons who received the
grants was 1888 lower than IN

The assistance program TO help

part of the Welfare Departments
activity. Mr.. Zuckernick said,
however, that many other services
are provided through the depart
ment, such as child welfare SER

and charitable institutions, and
