Neqro Press Moves
Forward Despite Criticism
AN EDlTO

for making over the Negro Press.
1t is too sensational, they will say,
or it's makeup is most unpro-
fessional, or it stresses sex too
much, and 50 on and ION. =
These "reformers" seem to have
two things in common: First,
most of them boast that they
never read the Negro news
papers; and second, they are al
ways without any experience at
all in the field of journalism: They
build a rosy dream of ). a Negro
newspaper with all the virtues
and none Of the faults of the best
daily newspaper they can think
of. They join 2 with some white
critics who. with malicious intent,
severely criticize Negro publica-
tions and Negro life generally.
The parade seems to have pass
ed these people by, however. Negro
newspapers are moving steadily
forward, gaining in strength and
skill;- and while still not perfect,
their problem is one of : limited
resources rather, than knoW-hoW.
They. have had to expand slowly
because at critical times, it is not
easy for them to obtain additional
capital, unless, of course, their
owners are willing to sacrifice
their independence. It is to their
undying credit that they never
have.
And So despite financial strug-
giles, and: criticism from all. sides,
the Negro Press has rounded out
125 years of constant protest
against second-class citizenship: No
one can deny that in every COM
munity. throughout =. the country
where there is a Negro newspaper,
~:the relationships between the races
are. better and the ;; rights of
Negroes are better protected.

Arizona sun., 1953-03-27

We were discussing Negro news
papers the other day-how little
they had when they started, and
how determined their editors were
to bring them out, no matter what
the cost in terms of effort. One
member of the group recalled how
in the early days editors used to
solicit ads, write allf,of the copy,
set; the type, run off the papers,
and then tuck them under their
arms and peddle them on the
streets themselves. "
Negro Negro newspapers have
come. a long way since then.
While some of them are still
struggling, many of them now
control vast chains and boast of
wide calculations. This has not
been easy to achieve, because the
early editors were constantly un-
der pressure from outside inter-
ests who wished to gain control
of their papers. They remained
steadfast, however, and under
went a great deal of suffering in
order to. keep their publications
Independent.
Z But. in addition to. financial diff
ficulties, most, Negro newspapers
have. at some time or other. had
to face q kind of opposition they
should never have had to face
criticism from the very people
they have tried to help.
Ridiculing and criticizing Negro
newspapers used to be popular
indoor sport. In some circles it
still is. Many Negroes who con-
slider themselves well-educated
and Intelligent heap abuse aplenty
on. Negro publications in general.
Every. once in. q while a. would
be "reformer" appears, on the
scene with head full of ideas

Better make sure your pullets
have plenty of room in the laying
house. A good rule to follow is to
allow to 4 square feet of floH.
SPACE per bird.

YugosIavs Offer
New Plan on Trieste
BY the Assoeioted Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec.
12.-Broaching a new idea for
solving the dispute, the Yugo-
slav press has suggested that
allied-occupied Zone A be di-
vided into two autonomous zones
ruled by mixed commissions.
One of the zones would be
under Yugoslav sovereignty and
the other under Italian. But
mixed commissions would rule
them to protect the rights of
national minorities in each, un-
der the proposal offered yester-
day by the semiofficial news
agency Yugopress.
The suggestion appeared to go
a step beyond President Tito'S
previous proposal that Yugo-
slavia be given territory sur
rounding the port of Trieste in
Zone A in addition to Zone B.
which it already controls. Un-
der this arrangement Italy
would get only the city of Tri-
este.
The Yugoslav radio and press
contended that a speech by
Italian Premier Giuseppe Pella
before the Italian Senate i'm
paired "the favorable atmos-
phere" created by the recent
withdrawal of Italian and Yugo-
slav troops from their joint
frontiers.
Premier Pella called Thurs
day for eventual fulfllment of
the BritiSh-American decision of
October 8 to give Italy control
of all of Zone A.
Reporting on another uneasy
border situation, Borba, the
organ of Tito's ruling Com
munist Party, reported yester-
day that Yugoslavia and her
Iron Curtain neighbor. Albania,
have signed an agreement for
preventing and regulating" in
cidentS on their common from
tier.

Spiritual Arsenal Called
Aid in Combating Reds
BY the Associated Press

BUCK HILL FALLS, Pa, Dec.
12.-Americans can learn how to
combat communism from Chris
tian nationals from Korea to
East Germany, a church leader
said last night.
DR.. Charles T. Laber of New
York, general secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions, spoke before 800 Prot
estant missionaries and church
leaders meeting here.
He said America can win the
struggle against communism" by
making use of weapons stored
in the spiritual arsenal of
Christian Europe and Asia"
DR.. Laber recently returned
from a f1ve-month world tour.
The answer to communism is
not the negative approach of
McCarthyism," he said. The only
answer is "the positive approach
of trying to produce social con-
ditions that will make it impos-
sible for communism to exist" 4"
he contended.

Six Florida Officials,
McCariy Appointees,
Deny Custer Charges
By the AssoeIated Press

TALLAHASSEE. Fle., Dec. IL.
Acting Gov. Charley Johns
ousted six major appointees of
the late Gov. Dan McCarty yes
terday.
The Governors charges of NAL
feasance, misfeasance, incompe-
tency and neglect of duty
brought prompt denials from the
Six-the State hotel commission
er and the f1ve-man State Road
Board. The Governors move
was regarded as his boldest bid
for control of the administra-
ton he inherited when Gov.
McCarty died last September.
The ousterS and counter claims
climaxed one of the most hectic
days in recent Florida political
history. These were the de-
velopments:
|. Mr.. Johns suspended Chair
man Richard H. Simpson of the
Road Board "a $12,00O-a-year
post). the boards four part-time
members. and Hotel Commits
sioner B. Mack Humphrey, whose
job pays $4,000 a year.
Charges Violations.
2. Mr.. Humphrey retaliated by
declaring the acting Governor as
a Starke motor court owner had
been a deliberate and know
ing" .violator Of the very heating
law Mr.. Johns accused him of
not enforcing. He said his
insistence on Mr.. Johns COM
pliance was one of the
causes of the acting Gov
ernor's animosity.
3. Road Board Chairman
Simpson called each of the
eight specific custer charges
against him and his fellow
members false and malicious. I"
4. The State Supreme Court
ruled there must be an election
next year to fill out the two
remaining years of the Nc
Carly term. 1t rejected q con-
tention by friends of Johns that
once he stepped in and took over
the duties of Governor as presi-
dent of the Senate there was no
vacancy to be filled and he
could serve out the three re-
naming years of the term.
5. House Speaker C. Farris
Bryant announced he will ask
the courts to say whether the
man elected next year for the
last two years of the McCarty
term may run in 1856 for a full
four-year term of his own. If
so. he said, he might be inter-
ested in becoming a candidate
in 1854.
Bradley Oldham, runnerup to
Gov. McCarty in 1852, already
is a candidate. State Senator
Leroy Collins, old friend of Gov.
McCarty, is expected to an
nounce formally this week end
that he will run.
Still left hanging is a ques-
tion of whether Mr.. Johns may
seek the Office of Governor dur
ing his term in the Senate,
which doesn't end until 1856.
Senator Collins and Mr.. Bryant
are not barred because their
terms in the Legislature would
expire before they took office
as Governor, if elected.
