Defender Publishes
1O8-Page Edition

CHICAGO - (ANP) - The
Chicago Defender celebrated its
5Oth birthday anniversary last
week by publishing a 1O8-page
anniversary edition.
The special edition was a far
cry from the four-page paper
which the late Robert S. Abbott
began in 1905.
It is a commendable job, tracing
the flow of history during the
years the Defender has been in
existence and citing the Defen-
der's role in helping to shape and
chronicle the events of that period.
In large sense, it was record
of the progress made by Negroes
in this country. The papers edi-
tors explained the front page note:
This issue epitomizes the po-
sition of the American Negro to-
day in his relation to his country.
All elements that have gone into
this development and progress in
the United States are embodied in
