called him. The clerk told him the
man he wanted was in the col

nothing but questioned one or two
Negroes with whom he was a

Mr.. Cratic Immediately lodged
a protest In person to Rev. Claude

Moore admitted that the race seq

he found II when he came here
two years ago. He said that he
understood the Negro men prefer

Cratic said he discovered that

Rev. Moore promised Cratic the

Newmon On WcCO's
Editorial Roundup

Cecil Newman, editor, Spokes-
man and Recorder papeS, was a
guest August %, on Jim Borman's
Editorial Roundup heard every
Sunday at IL noon.
Mr.. Borman, news editor of
WCCO questioned Newman on the
problem OF race Identification by
radio, press and Tv in news &C
counts.
Newman said racial Identified
ton in news stories was not
justified except in a rare case
when the inclusion of racial iden-
tity had important news value.
Borman pointed up the dilemma
Of a radio news staff which ell
inmates racial identity in a
story only to see photos clearly
showing race in other media the
same day.
Newman's contention was that
the American Negro had been the
victim Of a bad press for many
years because Of the racial idsnti-
fication by most daily papers and
radio stations. He claimed that
up until Is years ago. most
Of the news about Negroes came
off the police blotters, that nor
NAL sources of news about Ne
groes were not covered and that
the American Negro in the minds
Of thousand Of other Americans
was unfairly given a bad name.
The two men discussed the mat
ter pro and con. Mr.. Bornan said
he was all for what Newman and
others were trying TO accom-
phsh. but sometimes he questioned
whether elimination Of the racial
Identity was sound from a news
coverage point Of view.
Newman countered by stating
tndl as iOHk a. t1c OtHcf Aincfl-
can nationality or racial groups
were not raeisIiy identified In the
press and radio. Negroes felt that
the singing out Of them, was dis
crininatory. and harmful and I'M
fair.
A prominent Minneapolis busi-
ness man who heard the Editorial
Roundup Sunday was 80 pleased
with the Interview OF Borrnan with
Newman that he sent 9 letter 10
this Newspaper ordering an ad-
vertisement for his firm for one
month.

sociological headaches involved
move in, well move out). And ac-
cording to the findings of social
workers at their 1865 national
convention, the nations key So
cial problems are race and kids.
Stamping the ethnologists, as
well as school authorities, truant
officers and the whole Eisenhower
administration, are the problems
of color-conscious adults and their
progeny-those youthful hell
raisers Of all races. Ironically, the
joker in this double-trouble deck
is degeneration. And desegrega-
ton, which places the vortex Of
our racial problems at the small
fry level, is bothering nobody but
the grownups. The kids them
selves, even the Juvenile delin-
quents, don't really care about
race.
Prejudice Is For Old Folks
Racial prejudice is not innate. II
is a disease which has its highest
incident among the old folks That
children, even in the South, must
be taught bigotry, is an admitted
fact. That the lesson Is poorly
learned and its logic is being
questioned, is one OF the bright
spots in an otherwise cloudy pic
ture Of today's youth,

Reject Both Bids
On Vote Machines

Both bids on the 36 automatic
voting machines were rejected at
a special meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners and the
Board of Election Supervisors, held
Tuesday afternoon in the law Ii
brary in the Court House.
Both boards agreed that both the
Automatic Voting Machine COM
pany and the Schoup Voting Ma
chine company should be asked to
submit another bid, both bids to be
in the hands of the Commissioners
by Monday, November u, at which
time they would be publicly opened
and read in the presence Of both
boards.
The Automatic Voting Machine
company had submitted bid of
$52,OO272 for the Sc machines. The
Schoup Voting Machine company
submitted a bid of S50.8O112 for
the same number of machines.
The Board Of County Commits
sioners had refused to accept the
recommendation of the Board of
Election Supervisors that the ma
chimes be purchased from the Auto
matte Voting Machine company.
Within the past few days the
Board had received another bid
from the Automatic Voting Ma
chine company reducing the total
cost Of the machines. Because of
this it was felt that the Schoup
Voting Machine company should
have a similar privilege, so after
a lengthy discussion, motion was
finally passed rejecting both bids
and asking for entirely new bids
from both concerns. There are only
two automatic voting machine COM
panies in existence.
The use of the voting machine
was made mandatory by an act of
the legislature and must be ready
for use at the general election in
1856.
