Today the Negro is the subject Of every

press without some treatment Of him. Few
races have been studied so closely or re-
ported on at such great length. The general
theme Of most Of these authors deals with
the impregnability Of custom and open de-
fiance Of law because they usually picture
the Negro as standing poor and helpless
before a great towering wall Of white
oppression and control But continuing
progress shows that man made nood-waIls

Bill Offered
D. ne Associated prsss

A bin designed TO protect
freedom Of news gathering and
distributing was offered yester-
day BY Senator Thurmond.
Democrat Of South Carolina.
He told the Senate that Con-
gress should amend the Conn
Act to provide that
the equal time provisions with
respect 10 candidates for pub
lie ONCE shall not apply TO news
and other similar programs.
Recently. he said. literal con-
structions of q section Of the
act have resulted in what may
become a substantial detriment
to public interests"
"TheFederal Communications
Commission. in what appears
TO. be an objective interpreta.
ton Of the language of the Sec
ton. has applied the operation
Of the statue to news broad
casts and telecasts." he added.
Rather than submit to the
equal time requirements, there
is very reason to believe that
radio and television stations
and networks will eliminate
certain items of legitimate
newsworthiness which serve to
keep the public informed about
their own affairs.
This should not be allowed
to happen. It is incumbent on
Congress to act to protect the
freedom of the news gather
ing and distributing services
by amending the Communica-
lions Act, while at the same
time retaining the statutory fea-
lures Of the equal time section
which prevents favoritism to-
ward a candidate by a station. "

liar auction bills were limited
to q maturity Of three months.
Mr.. Baird took this step be-
cause the Treasury has had
10 borrow Increasing amounts
on a short-term basis, due TO
an unsettled money market.
From experience with three
month bills. he figured q long
Ter term issue could be auctioned
without upsetting the market
as much as by borrowing
through traditional devises.
Just last month. he went a
step further and announced
plans for a new cycle Of one
year auction bills.
Holds Down Interest
Also, Government securities
paying q fixed rate Of interest
are being sold at less than
face value. This Is done to hold
down interest payments, now
running about So billion a year.
Under the traditional sys-
tenn, the interest on Govern
ment securities was fixed in
.eights of a point" A bond
might yield Z per cent or 4ls
per cent. for example, but
never anything in between.
Here's how the new system
works:
A 21-year bond carrying q
nominal interest rate Of 4 per
cent was sold in January at less
than face value. Because it
sold below par, its actual yield
was 4 7/100 per cent.
The Treasury felt sure it
couldn't sell a bond yielding
only 4 per cent. On the other
hand. it felt 41s per cent would
be needlessly high. Having dis
counted the bond, it avoids
nearly 81 million in interest
payments during the life Of the
issue.
Mr.. Baird, also for the first
time, has sold auction securi-
ties at a fixed price because of
a weak market.
Problems like these keep him
at his desk about 81 hours a
week. In, Is months he has had
three weeks of and has had to
give up hunting, fishing and
woodworking.

Boird's Debt Moves
Surprise WoII Street

A Minnesota banker who
came here at an age when
most men retire Is rejuegling
the national debt--and giving
Wall Street some surprises.
Julian B. Baird. the treas
ury's 66-year-old Undersecre-
tary for Monetary Affairs. has
IN the past six months inau-
kurated four major innovations
IN the way the debt Is financed.
The changes have given the
Government more fiexibility in
borrowing needed billions.
Though technical. they affect
the Federal budget and the
whole economy.
There may be more changes,
too. The Treasury's money
problems are mounting, giy-
ing Mr.. Baird's assignment q
new urgency.
Holding a Government job
for the first time Mr.. Baird
must manage q national debt,
Of 1886 billion-the biggest
ever. BY contrast, his old bank
In st. Paul, Mimi, has deposits
Of about $3.50 million.
Sets Precedent
At the Treasury, Mr.. Baird's
burst of experimentation is
without precendent in recent
years. More remarkable is that
many Of the changes were made
against the advice Of Wall
Street - traditionally infiuen-
tial in such matters.
Bankers, as Mr.. Baird him.
telf says. often tend to trust
only tried-and-true ways Of
doing business. He adds:
@That would be Just ducky
q the country had no prob
ems"
What is there about Julian
Baird that makes him a pioneer
IN the reaches Of Governments
finance?
A small, bespectacled man
With thinning white hair, he
ISN'T flamboyant or colorful.
he looks like somebody's kindly
Grandfather, which he is
eieht times.
When he came to Washing
Son 10 months ago, he was
unknown outside Minnesota
except in banking circles. He
was drafted for his tough job
Just two months before he
would have retired and taken
ibis wife, Helen. on a trip to
Che Orient.
Mr.. Baird got the $21, 600
A-year postal least. so he
says-because younger men
weren't available.
Moreover, he knew some
Thing about Treasury problems.

For 80 of his 40 years in

for a time as president. then rs
board chairman.
"Meat and Potatoes" Man
Mr.. Baird sometimes de-
scribes himself as a plain meat
and potatoes" man. He still
sticks to some st. Paul ways
foreign to Washington official
dom. The door between his Of
fee and reception room, for in
stance, is never closed.
His secretaries sometimes
have to play detective and To-
cate his hat, which he's apt to
leave behind him when pre-
occupied. He once unwittingly
picked up another mans hat at
the Metropolitan Club and
wore it to the White House,
where he promptly lost it.
Because he worked far from
Wall Street, aides believe, he
looks at financing problems
without being hemmed in by
fixed notions of 'the Street."
Perhaps more important,
Treasury people agree, he is
open-minded and makes a cal
culated search for ideas.
Mr.. Baird has won the
loyalty of his assistants, all
civil servants, because he hears
them out and often heeds their
advice. He doesn't pull rank, "
one Of them says.
incidentally, he doesn't claim
credit for the innovations
adopted. He says they're an
amalgam of ideas from many
sources, including Secretary An
derson, who has backed them
up.
Problems Require Change

mented for experiments sake,
