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 syn
dicates serving the Negro Press has been re-
Elected in the growth Of the smaller Negro
newspapers.
Future development of the smaller
Negro newspapers will depend to a great ex-
tent upon the development and expansion of
the syndicates serving them.
1t is highly important that this develop
ment of the Negro Press should come about
because the records will show that in any
community where there is a Negro newspa-
per-whether small or large-the race rea-
tions and racial advancement are noticeably
better This Is true even in those cases where
the Negro newspaper is not particularly well
edited or we'll developed
In democratic country the weight of
public opinion is a powerful factor in de-
termining the policies the community win
follow, and the printed word is a powerful
factor in creating and cryslazing public
opinion. The newspaper u.s. in truth. really

The Negro Press
ey Julius J. Adams

This is Negro Newspaper Week, and it's
~ good a time as any to say word abou;
this segment Of the American press.
1t Is important that observances are
held annually In connection with newspaper
week. 1t is regrettable 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 "a
ware Of the Importance of the Negro Press,
and Negroes particularly are not conscious
Of the overall significance of the Negro
Press. This, no doubt, explains why so many
otherwise intelligent Negroes like to boast of
the fact that they "do not read Negro news
papers," Most of the Negroes who scott at
the Negro Press are the better-trained ones
who hold the best jobs and highest positions
In the leadership circle of their communities.
II wouldn't have a Negro newspaper in
NV house." wel-known social worker said
the other day. She was echoed by we'll
known Negro major league baseball player.
No one would argue that Negro newspapers
are perfect, but one thing is certain: These
newspapers unquestionaby played a most
important part in opening the doors for Ne
groes in the white collar professions, and al
so in major league baseball.
II is odd that newspapers that can do
such fine job of praising and building up
everybody and every saisy else fail so miser-
ably in building up themselves. This is es-
pecially true of the newspapers in the small
Ter and middle groups. These newspapers are
much more important to their communities
than their editors sometimes realize. Too Of
ten they become confused and lose their
sense of values by attempting TO compare
their activities with the bigger newspapers.
II is doubtful II a newspaper in Sheridan,
Wyoming would seek to compare itself with
the Kansas City Star; or that a weekly in
Long Island would lose any sleep over the

There is no longer any doubt who Is
to blame for perpetuating the jim crow sys-

the Interstate Commerce Commission. The

abolish segregation in public transportation.
If the 1CC would uphold the United States

son case, discrimination based upon race
and color could be ended on railroads and
BUSES almost Immediately.
But the ICC seems to be deliberately
trying to circumvent the Supreme Court de-
cision. 1t appears this way especially after
the recent ruling in which the Commission
upheld the Southern railroad in continuing
to set aside one table, at the end of the
dining car, for Negroes. The Southern ap-
parently has discarded the curtain which
II once drew to separate Negro from white
passengers, but II now sets aside one table
for the exclusive use Of Negro passengers
and in this it has the blessing of the ice.
The 1CC even approved a rule which the
Southern railway officials put into effect

travellers at the same table The new oolicv

gencio BatiSta held sway again
today as president of Cuba under
a statute guaranteeing him dicta-
torial powers at least until Novem-

are slated. He promised a regime

four weeks ago overthrow the gov
eminent of Carlos Prio Socarras
which he accused of corruption
and gangsterism, had himself pro-
claimed president last night of
the nation he ruled from 1888 to
1914.
The proclamation came after
the Cabinet had put through al
statute abolishing Cuba's 1910
constitution, throwing out Con-
gress and giving Gen. Batista
sweeping powers.
The new measure. which incor-
porated many provisions of the
1910 constitution. will not go into

has ordered suspension of various
human rights for a 45-day period |
beginning today. They include |
freedom of expression and publi-

90 Look AT Stevenson Richmond
Speech"

Over in Richmond, Virginia the other day the Demo-
cratic nominee for President of the United States Gov
ernor Adai Stevenson of Illinois in bringing his cam
paign to the people of the SOUTH with unprecedented
frankness, speaking to unsegregated audience and
with Negro leaders the platforms upheld his own and
the Democratic party stand, the question of Civil
Rights.
With the Negro question still ma jOr issue in Vir-
gnia and southern politics the stand the issue of Civil
Rights of Governor Stevenson made known again in his
Richmond, Virginia speech is bound to have won the
admiration of people of good WILL regardless of color or
creed everywhere in the United States.
In thus bringing to the hearts of the south and
the birthplace of slavery and of the cOnfederacy the is
of Civil Rights Governor Stevenson has rendered
being of far greater Importance the future
OF the SOUTH than the immediate of his campaign
for president of the United States; and in thus speak
ing he has raised curtain that has kept the south and
its people in the darkened shadows of it's unhealthy past
making it possible to let in the light of and better
day for the south and it's people.
Well Informed sOutherners of both races know that
the main drawback to its social political and spiritual
progress, and its material progress as WELL is the fact
that southeer through the years have been given to
the discussion of only SIDE and their side only of
the question issues especially when it concerns the
southern Negroes
We Of the nOn-cOmmunist world assert that de-
mOcracy has frmer and lasting moral basis than
communlsm that indeed democracy and christianity
synonymous IN their moral origin In his statement in
support of Civil Rights because of its foundation in moral
ganda of Communist Russians Governor Stevenson af-
firms the highest moral basis our christianity and de-
mOcracy.

son has protrayed the caber of mind and spirit that will
make him great president of the United States

Time Alone

PANAMA, r. P. (GLOBAL)-
Philippe Duke Schuyler, brilliant
young pianist and composer, is
being acclaimed by audiences and
critics here as she appears in con-
certs playing classics as well as
her own compositions. Music low

young artist such ovations that
already plans are underway for her
next tour.
In Panama the talented Miss
Schuyler gave two recitals to the
largest audiences ever to pay trib-
ute to a Musician here. She also
played to capacity houses in Dutch
Guiana, and in Havana. Cuba not
only appeared at the Officers Club
of Havana, but gave an outdoor
concert before an audience of 5000
music lovers. While there she was
the guest of two dignitaries, the
President of Cuba and the Ambas-
sador.
Mis- Schuyler will be remembered
as the child prodigy who astounded
music critics by performing and
composing before she was three
years old. She has toured her
native United States and other
countries many times, always ac-
companied by her mother. This is
her first tour alone. Her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Schuyler, are
eagerly awaiting her return in Oc-
