CLAUDE H. HALL, a sales rep
resentative in the New York of
flee of Interstate United News
papers, Inc, has written another
article on the expanding Negro
Market. Mr.. Halls latest effort
appears in the Advertisers Guide
to Marketing for 1858, published
by Printers Ink, one of Ameri-
ica's foremost marketing publica-
tions. Mr.. Halls article in the
1857 Guide, "The Negro Market
And How To Reach It," was a SUBJ
ject of widespread discussion
among advertising agencies, mar
keting specialists, and national
advertisers. 1t discussed in some
detail the broader aspects of the
Negro Market including: the size
and growth Of the market; con-
centration of population in metro
politan areas; median income; ed
ucation; and media.
The 1858 Guide article, even
more detailed than the earlier one,
is expected to be equally well re-
ceived in advertising circles.
Products of keen study, analysis
and Interpretation, both of these
articles give top-level recognition
to an increasingly significant seq
ment of Americas consumer mar

Two Women In
piistoI-knife Duel

Two Negro women were hospital
lied Friday after they engaged in
knife-pistol fight on Parish st.
Lilly Dell Green of 1876 Leonard
street was taken to Baptist Hos
pital with a bullet in her chest,
and Louise Johnson of 952 Salem
street was taken to University Hos
pital with a knife wound in the
arm.
Tie Green woman told police
she was on North Parish talking
to a cab driver when Louise came
up and cursed her and said "you
think you go for bad around here"
After saying this Louise allegedly
shot Lilly Dell.
Lilly Dell told officers that she
then got out her switch blade
knife and cut Louise on the arm.
However, Louise told officers a
different story from her hospital
bed. She said Lilly Dell had cut
her three weeks ago and she was
afraid. That was the reason for
having the pistol. +
Police say both women will be
arrested when they are released
from the hospitals and charged
with shooting with intent to kill
and assault with a knife.

Lots of Space
Both metropolitan and provin-
cial newspapers in France gave the
story almost as much space as
those about Syrian developments
and skyrocketing prices, which, af-
feet Frenchmen more directly.
Many European newspapers, par
ticularly the Communist newspap-
ers, have been playing the Little
Rock story prominently since it
first broke.
The British press has run the
story on page one ever since the
National Guard was called out at
Little Rocks Central High school.
And Britons have been getting q
running account of the controversy
in cartoons, photographs and edi-
torials.
The U. S. Embassy in London
has been filing full reports of
British press reaction to the State
Department An Embassy spokes-
man said:
Straight Reporting
"There has been fairly straight
reporting and editorial reaction has
been temperate, not half as nasty
as it has been in the past"
A cartoon in the evenings Lon
don Standard showed Arkansas
Gov. Orval Eaubus hurting quit
ar at clock labelled progress"
Another recent cartoon showed
National Guardsmen blocking lit
tie Negro girl for carrying "dan-
gerous weapon"-a book labelled
education"
British editorials have been more
restrained, perhaps because Britons
are becoming uneasily aware that
they have a growing race problem
of their own.
/ Most editorials have condemned
blocking of court orders to inte-
CRATE Little Rocks SCHOOLS, but at
tempted to explain the southern
point of view. Readers have been
warned that the problem is COM
plicated.
Needs Perspective
The London Neys Croncile said
the other day that Little Rock
scenes shave been nauseating and
pitiful But it is important to
see the story in perspective"
The West Germans press has
been splashing the Little Rock
story but has studiously refrained
from editorial comment.
The Indignation battle in the
South is considered a very ticklish
one in Bonn. But there have been
no visible signs that it has influence
ed Americas reputation in West
Germany. Part of the reason may
be the integration of the U. S.
Army initiated by President Eisen-
hover.
