CAMBRIDGE
Negro Leaders Irked
By Breach Of Faith

, the city for rs days earlier, was
sent back in by Gov. Tawes
when violence flared after the
Iguardsmen were withdrawn.
Negro leaders threatening to
renew demonstrations, said
they are angered over o breach
Of faith" by Mr.. Finan and over
a speech by Gov. Tawes.
Respite Was Seen
1t appeared Thursday that
Cambridge might get at least
q week of racial peace after
Negro leaders and the newly
appointed bi-racial commission
Iof Cambridge agreed to submit
the dispute to mediation by a
committee Of the Maryland Bar
Association. Mr.. Finan said the
bar committee would arrive in
Cambridge by today, but the
head of the committee said he
didn't know of the arrange
ment until reading Of 1t in the
newspapers.
The bar committee plans to
meet at 5 pm. Monday to dis
cusS the matter and announce
Tuesday when and where and
under what conditions it will
meet with Cambridge leaders.
The latter meeting probably
won't be held. until at least
Wednesday, the committee in
dicated.
Negro leaders claim the fail
ure to start negotiations today
was a breach of faith" on the
part Of MIR. Finan.
They also are angered over
Gov. Tawes' speech Friday, in
which he sharply criticized the
Negro leadership in Cambridge,
calling it "fragmented."
Gen. Gelston has banned all
racial demonstrations in the
city. Negro leaders today asked
him to allow the Negroes to
march peacefully to the court
house and hold a 15-minute
prayer demonstration each day,
They said the demonstrations
would be peaceful and that the
demonstrators would walk two
abreast, 6 feet apart.
After a conference with Ne
gro leaders, Gen. Gelston said
he had turned down the re-
quest.

Negro crowds to disperse and
60 home.
Several hundred Negroes were
milling around in the street al
the height Of the incident.
Gen. GelSton also pleaded
with the Negroes to move back
to the church where the DEM
onstrators had been scheduled
to begin their march.
Angered by Gas
The milling Negroes were
angered at the use of tear gas
and kept haunting Guardsmen
Gen. Gelston told them it is
"easier to use tear gas than a
bayonet" to keep the peace.
TITS easier to cry than
bleed" Gen. Gelston said.
It was an extremely tense
situation as the Negro leaders
and Gen. Gelston tried to get
the crowd to move back.
AS the Negro leaders asked
them to 60 back to the church,
many were heard to say that
"all we do is talk, talk, talk. +"
Negroes Disperse
Finally, members Of the
Guard got into their trucks
and left the. Negro area when
the Negro leaders assured Gen.
Gelston that the planned dem
onstration would not take
place. The Negroes dispersed
after the Guard left.
The incident, which occurred
about 8 pm. and lasted for APP
proximately half an hour, hap
pened after State Attorney
General Thomas B. Finan con-
ferred with Negro leaders ear
lier to try to head off further
racial demonstrations here.
Gen. Gelston conferred with
Mr.. Finan several hours at
nearby Easton before they met
with Negro leaders in Cam
bridge.
Five hundred additional
guardsmen arrived here today
bringing the total to about 900
The new troops are scheduled

What is a newspaper?


A newspaper is lumber
made malleable. It is ink
made into words and pictures.
1t is conceived, born, grows
UP and dies Of old age in a
day. Yesterdays newspaper
is used to wrap today's fish.
Or to start q log fire, which
brings it back to its origin.
MOST OF ALL, a news
paper is current information.
It Is the bridge between q
home and the rest Of the
world. 1t tells Of people and
events swiftly and In detail.
1t listens to the threats Of q
dictator, the crack Of q bat
against q baseball. the an
guish for q lost child. and
the recipe for making cookies.
Newspapers, like people,
come in many sizes and many
personalities. Some are fat
and sedentary; others are
lean and hysterical. And, like
people, some are reliable and
some are not. There are
newspapers which scream for
attention and there are 9TH
ers, on the same newsstand,
which whisper the news. All
newspapers reflect the char
acter of their owners.
A good newspaper must
show q profit. All newspaper
owners know this. That Is
why they establish good
character In their papers,
and maintain it. The other
road, they know, leads to
bankruptcy.
Character is an indefinable
quality best understood by
women. They live by it. They
can detect it in merchandise,
in people, in publications.
They, more. than their hus-
bands, understand the news
paper they buy. Men usually
read the front-page news, the
sports section, and their ia
vorite features. Woman leaf
through q newspaper slowly.
carefully, concentrating more
on local news than interna-
tional, assessing the adver-
tisements, relishing the wom-
ans page with its club meet
ings, lawn parties and gossip,
and reading the obituary no
tees.
Good character in q news
paper is not enough. 1t must
be enterprising and have
strong civic purpose. 1t must
sincerely feel that the COM
munity it serves is on its way
to becoming the best in the
world. 1t must use its edito-

Newspaper Uses
Chain Of Minds

rial page not 50 much to con-
denim as to propose. not so
much to revile powerful enc
mics as to have the strength
to support them II they are
worthy Of support.
The average newspaper
contains 10000 words or
more OF information. This Is
the daily equivalent Of two
novels. It is as near perfect
as q chain Of human minds

One word can make an
enormous difference. II an
editor writes. 1.-THE mayor 10

history" and somewhere
along the line the word mot"
is eliminated. what was In
tended as apologize becomes
indictment. Only q frightened
editor uses his newspaper to
destroy.
A newspaper Is private en-
terprise for the public good.
1t relies on many minds to
fill 1t every day, In addition
to machines which chatter
necessarily about news COM
ing In from Rome, from
Bangkok, from Tokyo and
Topeka. The distance be-
tween the cosmic and crime
and comic strips Is seldom
more than q moistened fin
gertip apart.
A boy on q bicycle can take

IN SOME COUNTRIES,
the newspapers are the In
struments of the government.
In this one. the Government
is sometimes the instrument
of the newspapers. Perhaps
the best thing which can be
said about newspapers In the
United States is that they are
In chronic disagreement with
one another.
This Is what Is meant by
q free press. A newspaper Is
always q little more than the
sum total Of its parts. 1t Is
also q friend who can be
dropped, or picked up Il will.
