President Praises Free Press
In Marking Newspaper Week

often actually helps to create
that history.
"A free press and a free So
ciety are essentially one. AS the
press can know freedom only in
a democratic state, so democracy
itself is fortified by a free press.
"This strengthening of our So
ciety is, of course, the antitheSis
of the ignoble service performed
by the press of totalitarian coun-
tries. The effectiveness of free
press is virtually to be measured
by the integrity. candor, and re-
sponsibility of its criticism.
ION this occasion I am happy
to send warm greetings to the
reporters, editor and publishers
of our Nations newspapers. I
know-as they must themselves
that they are custodians of a
majestic trust, a solemn reSpon-

The testimony upon which

ToCanceI Sentence
Received After Raid

ANNAPOLIS, June 10. - Ed
ward CNip) Wanzer, Washing
ton cook, asked the Court of
Appeals yesterday to cancel the
prison sentence imposed after
State police raided party at his
Howard County house last sum-
mer.
Wanzer'S lawyers said an lex
aggerated account" of the raid
in the weekly Ellicott City Times
made it impossible to round up
an impartial jury.
Metropolitan newspapers cir
culating in Howard County also
aroused prejudice. hatred and
malice" toward Wanzer, they
contended.
Wanzer, who is colored. was
amoung SO arrested after police
walked past the gate and into
q big yard around his country
house of Guilford road at 3 am.
last August 81.
Police said they discovered
hundreds of whisky and beer
bottles. a gambling table and
wheel. Many Of the $50 they
estimated were present scooted
of through the woods.
Wanzer insisted he had turned
over the property to a club for
a party that night and had
nothing to do with any viola
tions charged Of gambling or
liquor laws. He was picked up
later in a car with three friends
on Guilford road.
A jury convicted him Of seven
counts of an indictment charg-
ing both gambling and liquor
infractions. Circuit Judge James
Clark fined him $500 and SEN
fenced him to 111a months in
the house of correction.
Wanzer argued that evidence
seized without q warrant should
have been kept out of the trial.
Through his lawyers, he also
said the indictment was faulty
because it charged different
crimes.
The State replied police that
were entitled to walk In and
investigate a disturbance of the
peace. Lawfully there, it went
on, they were justified in the
search.

Civilized Shinnanigons

We get pretty disgusted with
those folks in Iran and India and
Africa for their intense national
ism their tendency to listen to
the Communists their lack Of
sympathy for the White Man +.
and the rocks they occasionally
heave literally at American re-
representatives. and American pro-
perty.
Quite piously we assure our
selves that we wouldn't be caught
dead doing tricks like that no
matter what and that such
shinannigans are for only those
"uneducated foreigners"
Perhaps.
But within the past 20 years
right here in Iowa-does anyone
by any chance remember dumping
milk as it was being moved to
market-or penny" auctions-or
dragging the judge off the bench
in northwest Iowa-or hanging
the Supreme Court In effigy on a
fence outside Of Ames?
Well they all took place. And
right here where everybody has
always had enough to eat and
enough to wear and a warm place
to sleep. That's all those "unedu-
Gated foreigners" want.
They don't demand price sup.
ports or rural Identification or in
sured bank deposits or social Sc.
curity. They just want three
square meals a day and a shirt
and pair of pants. We would be
acting worse than they are--if we
didn't have any more than they
have. Iowa Falls, Qa-), Citizen

nant.
The blessed event took place at

Physicians attending Mrs. Breck-

husband had any knowledge Of
the pregnancy until she became
extremely Ill. Her attack was de-
scribed as tovemia OF pregnancy.
The father, Leroy Bracket
and his wife have been married
% years and were without chill
dren. Until she became III, Mrs.
Bracket worked regularly as a
maid. 1t was reported that the
mother and baby are doing fine.

Jective Of free men the world
over; to create the type Of world
for which men have died on a
thousand battlefields. And 1t is
waging this warfare with an en-
thusiasm little short Of idolatry;
but an enthusiasm justified by
the gravity Of the issues involved.
The Negro Newspaper is not al
ways given the encouragement
and support It deserves. This is
due to the fact that too few peo-
pie recognize its role. and are able
to appreciate its value and influ-
ence. The purpose Of a real news
paper is not TO publicize and play
up few folk who live on the fat
of the land" There is a difference
between a paper which covers its
front page with the pictures Of
certain people in order to tickle"
their inflated ego, and a paper
which is true to the ideals Of the
craft. The purpose Of a real paper
Is to serve as channel of news.
Any news that will be for the
public weal--from everywhere,
and regardless OF whom it affects,
80 long as 1t remains within limits
provided by the constitution. This
Is the chief difference between
the newspapers In democracy
and those in totalitarian state.
The Press OF a democracy keeps
the public informed about both
the positive and negative develop
ments in its culture.
The Negro newspaper has not
had an easy road to travel. In
large measure II has had to draw
its support from small group,
few Of whom owned large and luc-
rative businesses which serve as
the medium of revenue for other
newspapers. It has seldom receiv-
ed the patronage Of the multitudes
II helps commensurate with its
struggles and sacrifices. 1t has
had TO live in its fight between
"the devil and the deep blue sea-"
But they have had the most of
them, the vision and the courage
to fight on.
We do not claim that Negro
newspapers and their editors came
down TO us from heaven No more
than we can claim 1t for teachers,
preachers or politicians. They do
not claim 1t for themselves.
They are struggling mortals like
the rest of us. Mortals, however,
who take the doubtful ridges of
the battle in order TO make condi-
tons for the next generation bet
ter than those which have fallen
to our lot. For this they deserve
credit as much as do moving
spirits of the Renaissance and the
Reformation.
We always recognize the power
Of the pulpit and the platform,
But in our modern culture even
the pulpit would be greatly re-
duced without the power of the
press
