The Nieman Fellowship
Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Agnes Wahl Nieman established
the Nieman Foundation in memory of her husband, Lucius Nieman,
founder of the Milwaukee Journal.
Mrs. Nieman left Harvard. University $1,400,000 "to promote 
and elevate standards of journalism in the United States."
chance 1938, the Fellowships have afforded 170 newspapermen a
chance of a year of study at Harvard to strengthen their background 
for newspaper work.
Each year the foundation awards about a dozen Fellowships 
to newspapermen "on the basis of their promise for future
useful service in journalism, as judged by their past work and
recommendation of their employers."
The whole field of instruction at Harvard is open to Nieman
Fellows. They may lake courses in any department or school of
the university. No technical course designated as courses in journalism 
are offered.
The purpose of the Fellowships is not to give technical training 
in journalism but rather to enable the Follows to increase
their competence in subjects with which they have to deal as
writers or editors.
Each Fellow, according to "The Nieman Fellow Report", develops 
his individual program. Some fill gaps in previous education 
others seek to catch up with the changing world of their
times, in science, in economics, in world relations. Some study
special problems of their regions, some prepare for assignments
in the foreign field or in Washington, others concentrate in areas
where modern journalism requires specialization, in labor economics, 
agriculture, city planning, housing, science.
The Nieman Fellows have come from more than 69 papers
and press associations in some 34 states.
Since the establishment of the foundation, only two Southern
Negroes and three Georgians have won this coveted Fellowship.
Our managing editor, Mr. William Gordon, is one of the
two Negroes and is the third Georgian to win this award — the
most singularly outstanding study grant in the field of journalism.
Mr. Gordon, along with 11 white newspapermen from 10
stales, will enter Harvard in September as Nieman Fellows to
seek answers to the questions that will have led them to the university. 

Mr. Gordon, an energetic, hardworking newspaperman who,
formerly worked with the New York. PM tabloid doily, is well
prepared, having won degrees from LeMoyne College in Memphis
and New York University.
He plans to study social and economic problems of the South.
He is particularly qualified to grapple with these problems by
virtue of his specialized knowledge of economics — his degree
field at NYU.
In winning the Fellowship, Mr. Gordon brings an outstanding 
honor and recognition to the Atlanta Daily World and we
are justly proud. Our sentiment, already attested by Editor Ralph
McGill of the Constitution, a Nieman sponsor, is best summed up
in a telegram Mr. Gordon received from our editorial staff.
"Congratulations on this laudatory journalistic achievement!"

Relaxation of Home Building
The ministration has indicated that Regulation W, which
controls the size of the down payment in the purchase of houses,
might soon fee relaxed. In fact, by the time you read this, the
relaxation might already have taken place.
Several months ago Government authorities saw fit to relax
controls on the construction of homes costing $12,000 or less. The
present plan is to relax controls along a somewhat similar line, on
the construction of homes costing over $12,000.
Since the Korean crisis has leveled off slightly and since the
shortages at one time expected in building materials have not developed 
as severely as they might have, this move would be in order. 
It would also be in order because of the slow down experienced 
by business in recent months.
The relaxation of minimum down payments and maximum
loan controls in the $12,000-plus home-building industry will stimulate 
the construction of better homes. With a million house-units
to be completed this year already, this stimulation might prove a
shot in the arm to business—which the Government seems to think
is now in order, since the threat of inflation has lessened.

In The Nation's Capital
Representative Bill Dawson. Democrat, 
of Illinois, has a knot over
his left eye almost as big as a
fist.
He was flying to Chicago the other 
Friday afternoon when the
plane he was riding flew into a
storm. As the plane hit an air pocket 
and, took a big drop, his belt
flew loose and his heed hit the ceiling 
and he sustained, injury to his
forehead. The second time the
plane started to dip and he started 
up, a man sitting next to him
grabbed him and pulled him down.
The plane was unable to land in
Chicago and kept, on to Detroit.
Diwson was taken to a hospital in
Ipsilant (Michigan), where several 
stitches were taken in the
wound, from which he had bled
profusely.
Despite, the knot on his head,
Dawson spoke Saturday at the New
York State Democratic Committee
Youth Division's Sixth Annual Political 
Institute at Hobart College,
Geneva (New York).

REVIEWING
THE
NEWS
By WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor Atlanta Daily World
Dr. Louis T. Wright of the Harlem Hospital in New York told a
session of the NAACP in Oklahoma City last week that segregation
is back of the Negro's health problem and that because of such a
condition, Negroes die 10 to 12 years earlier than whites in this
country. This was without question, one of the soundest notes
brought out at this convention.
Not only do Negroes die earlier because of this haunting
American plague; but whites as well die earlier because of this
restriction on Negroes.
In the deep South in particular, the largest segment of common 
labor is found within the Negro population. Industry depends 
heavily on this labor supply. If Negroes are not given the
necessary health facilities to keep them sound in body and mind,
then industry is bound to suffer. When the industrial phase of the
community suffers, the total population suffers. This means that
whites as well as Negroes are handicapped through the practices
of segregation.
It is a most difficult problem to establish a sound health program 
on a segregated basis. In the South where the productive
capacity of the individual is far behind that of the north and other 
parts of the country, because of the pattern that we follow, it is
shameful to think of anything but doing away with this evil.
Dr. Wright also cites bad housing as a primary factor in the
total health problem. Negroes because of the traditional pattern
which we have been forced to accept, are always pushed back into 
the slum areas of most large cities. Economic reasons are back
of this problem. Because of low income for his labor, he cannot
be expected to pay for decent housing.. In many instances, his income 
is kept at a low level in order to regiment him and to always
keep him in a submissive position.
What the South arid many other parts of the country have
not seen, is that bad health among Negroes also contributes to bad
health among whites. Ghetto communities breed a feeble population 
and from this we get crime and corruption. We fail to
produce the tax-paying citizen who, can become an asset to the
area in which he lives. Consequently, through the pattern of
segregation we produce an ill fed, ill-clothed and ill-housed American 
citizen who, in the final analysis, becomes a liability rather
than an asset to his country.
The strength of a nation depends largely on the health of its,
people. Continue to deny the Negro the proper health facilities,
and we'll continue to weaken ourselves socially, economically and
politically.

The Tip-Off
By EMORY O. JACKSON
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma.
—(SNS)—
Sixty-nine year old Roscoe 
Dunjee, bachelor editor of the
Oklahoma City Black Dispatch,
from whose office this column is
being written, is scheduled to be
honored at 5:30 this evening at a
testimonial and Branch Awards
dinner at the Downtown YWCA.

Dunjee and
Mitchell have
many things in
common. Both are
staunch NAACP
crusaders. Both
are deans of Negro 
journalism.
Both have demonstrated 
what
can be done
through political
action. Both are
journalists leaders 
who have used 
their newspapers 
to advance the Negro citizen
and to enrich democracy.

Careers and achievements, of
Dunjee and Mitchell parallel in
many respects. NAACP youth work
first flourished in St. Louis. Atleast 
that is the city in which I
first learned of it through Mrs. W.
O. Emory, whose daughter, Margaret, 
was delivering speeches in
that line of work. Mrs. Emory used 
to write us about NAACP youth
work. She was closely identified
with the Mitchells, I would guess
For Margaret, if I correctly femember, 
once worked for the Argus.

Dunjee's name used to be synonyous 
with the NAACP. His Black
Dispatch and the Oklahoma Branch
NAACP grew up together. The Black
Dispatch is circulated in every one
of the United States and in foreign
countries.
IN 1921, under Dunjee's leadership 
the first conference of NAACP
branches was organized. It has set
the pattern for the all NAACP
state conference. Mainly through
the leadership of Dunjee, segregation 
in higher education was tackled 
in Oklahoma and knocked out
Oklahoma has won four of the
seven cases it has carried to the
United State Supreme Court.

At a meeting in Birmingham
Court 1944 the National Negro
Business League elected Dunjee to
be its president His health cracked 
under the strain and he resigned. 
For nearly two years he just
about gave up all work. He left the
National Newspaper Publishers Association 
and was no more to be
seen at NAACP conventions. The
NAACP convention came to his city
for the second time in 18 years,
having met here in 1934. This is
the fourth time in 18 years that it
has met in the Southwest. Dunjee
was back at a NAACP convention
this year.

BETWEEN THE LINES
The Southern Baptist Convention
has recently closed its sessions at
Miami, Florida. Except for some indirect 
and Impotent references, the
color issue was completely by-passed. 

It was rather pathetic to see how
a so-called Christian body, in one
of its great deliberative sessions,
ducked the one big issue, which
above all others, would have shown
its moral stamina. Evasion is easy.
By-passing is easy. Ducking is easy.
But it takes great moral courage to
meet great issues head-on.
The Southern Baptist Convention
is much more nobly inclined than
their ducking of the color question
would have us believe. The great
Southern Baptist Convention deserves 
better representation than
the by-passing of the nation's might
lest issue gives them. Righteousness
and just inclinations are not confined 
to any geographical areas of
racial limits. But such evasion as
the great Southern Baptist Convention 
gave would lead to just such an
illogical conclusion.
The world will not hold the Southern 
Baptists responsible for all the
evils that grow out of the color
question; just men the world over
will be sufficiently generous to accord 
the Southern Baptist a high
place of respect for the good it is
doing even though it by-passes the
one great issue that is demanding
its serious attention.
But the world, cannot easily overlook 
the southern white brethren for
ducking instead of bucking the color 
issue.
The same principle holds true
about lynchings, legal and otherwise.
Honest men cannot and will not
condemn the south merely for its
lynchings, but rather for Its coddling
and absolution of the lynchers. The
disgrace of the lynch-evil resides
not so much in the lynchings themselves 
but the South's failure to do
anything about them.
Faith in the integrity of southern
Christianity is seriously depleted
when the nation's mightiest denominational 
body completely ducks the

issue which above all others is challenging 
its place, in the scheme of
human salvation.
It was somewhat difficult when
the American Baptist Convention
which met in the North. These
northern brethren knew they could
not resolve the race issue. They
knew that their very pronouncement 
would make but little difference 
in interracial status in this
country. But they met the issue
head-on and made the pungent
statement that "A man cannot effectively 
preach a gospel he does
not demonstrate."
In this pronouncement we have
one of the strongest statements ever
delivered on the color question. It
heartens those souls sick with hypocrisy 
and modern phariseeism. In
a democracy a man has a personal

right to be prejudiced, but he has
no right to parade his prejudice as
compatible with the teachings of
Jesus Christ.
If there are those who put their
race prejudice above the teachings
of Jesus Christ, they are well within
their rights and privileges as humans 
of responsibility. But these
should not pretend that their violation 
of the first commandment is
conducive to the strengthening of
the world's faith in the ultimate
righteousness of the Christian
Church.
When any men or set of men,
when any race or kind of race, sets
its traditions above the Commandments, 
it sets itself at variance with
God and Time and Right. As such it
disqualifies itself for the solemn
task of world evangelization.

Christian Science
Lesson Sermon
"Christian Science" is the title of
the Lesson-Sermon which will be
given in the Christian Science services 
Sunday, June 29. The Science
or true facts of Christianity will be
explained, in this interring 'Les
son-Sermon. 
Services will be held
by the Christian Science society of
Atlanta. All are welcome.
The Prohpet Isaiah gives us the
Golden Text: (Isaiah 35:10)."The
ransomed of the Lord shall return,
and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting Joy upon their heads:
they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall, flee
away."
One of the inspiring statements
in the Lesson-Sermon from the
Bible is found in Deuteronomy (29:
29) "The secret things belong unto
the Lord our God: but those things
which are revealed belong unto us
and to our children forever, that we
may do all the words of this law."
From the Christian Science textbook, 
"Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy will be heard many truths
about the subject, one is as follows:
"Ask yourself: Am I living the life
that approaches the supreme good?
Am I demonstrating the healing
power of Truth and Love? If so,
then the way will, grow brighter
"unto the perfect day." Your fruits
will prove what the understanding
of God brings to man."(P. 496).

MY WEEKLY SERMON


It is hot to-day, the sun is blazing 
like a big ball of fire. Truly
summer is sitting on her throne.
We stand in the boiling sun; we
mop our brow; we fume, fret and
complain.
Even in the early morning the
skies are as bright as a maiden's
eyes, but it is hot. At noon the
roofs over our heads are parched.
In the evening a down the west a
golden glow sinks burning in the
sea. It is hot
But "God made the summer,"
and, "it is good," "God looked on
all he had made and God saw that
all he had made was good."
Summer has a personality all her
own . . a personality more
sedate than of spring, and more
promising than that of fall. Summer 
is full bloomed womanhood that
no longer dances with the fantastic 
feet of youth (spring), nor sinks
spent and consumed with the fatigue 
of age (the autumn and winter 
of life)
God made summer and he made
it copious in it's sufficiency. God
made the summer to supply his
creatures with necessary food
Spring, fall, and winter don't do
it So thank God for summer. . .
Summer that feeds us and answers
our prayer "give us this day out
daily bread " Summer is humanity's 
bread basket.
Tho it be hot in summer God
opens his windows of heaven. . .
opens His hands and Supplies His
children with necessary food
Thank God for summer.
Summer may be a season which
is peculiarly God's So I must not
desert God's services in the summer 
time . . .A time full of
God's beauty and divine perfection 
. . . free from imperfections,
immaturity, and decay. Therefore
in the summer time the child of
God will joyfuly say; "I was glad
when they said unto me, let us go
into the house of the Lord."
In the summer God prepares my
food to feed my body.
Thank God for the summer that
comes intermittently year by year
bringing us our daily bread. Without 
summer there would be no
food, no bread . .... yes starvation.
Summer is a gift from God . . .
To give us our daily bread to feed
our physical bodies.
Remember man cannot live by
physical bread . . . material bread
alone The hot summer gives us
bread from God's fertile, green
earth. But Jesus said: "My Father
giveth you the true bread from
heaven "Jesus said unto them, "I
am the bread of life, he that
cometh to me shall never hunger."
Thank God for the bread from
heaven; Thank God for the bread
made possible by the heat of summer. 


"THE HOT SUMMER"


It is hot to-day, the sun is blazing 
like a big ball of fire. Truly
summer is sitting on her throne.
We stand in the boiling sun; we
mop our brow; we fume, fret and
complain.
Even in the early morning the
skies are as bright as a maiden's
eyes, but it is hot. At noon the
roofs over our heads are parched.
In the evening a down the west a
golden glow sinks burning in the
sea. It is hot
But "God made the summer,"
and, "it is good," "God looked on
all he had made and God saw that
all he had made was good."
Summer has a personality all her
own . . a personality more
sedate than of spring, and more
promising than that of fall. Summer 
is full bloomed womanhood that
no longer dances with the fantastic 
feet of youth (spring), nor sinks
spent and consumed with the fatigue 
of age (the autumn and winter 
of life)
God made summer and he made
it copious in it's sufficiency. God
made the summer to supply his
creatures with necessary food
Spring, fall, and winter don't do
it So thank God for summer. . .
Summer that feeds us and answers
our prayer "give us this day out
daily bread " Summer is humanity's 
bread basket.
Tho it be hot in summer God
opens his windows of heaven. . .
opens His hands and Supplies His
children with necessary food
Thank God for summer.
Summer may be a season which
is peculiarly God's So I must not
desert God's services in the summer 
time . . .A time full of
God's beauty and divine perfection 
. . . free from imperfections,
immaturity, and decay. Therefore
in the summer time the child of
God will joyfuly say; "I was glad
when they said unto me, let us go
into the house of the Lord."
In the summer God prepares my
food to feed my body.
Thank God for the summer that
comes intermittently year by year
bringing us our daily bread. Without 
summer there would be no
food, no bread . .... yes starvation.
Summer is a gift from God . . .
To give us our daily bread to feed
our physical bodies.
Remember man cannot live by
physical bread . . . material bread
alone The hot summer gives us
bread from God's fertile, green
earth. But Jesus said: "My Father
giveth you the true bread from
heaven "Jesus said unto them, "I
am the bread of life, he that
cometh to me shall never hunger."
Thank God for the bread from
heaven; Thank God for the bread
made possible by the heat of summer. 


POLICE SGT. RESIGNS
IN NUMBERS CASE
The Wilmington 
chief of police charged
Tuesday that a desk sergeant of 15
years with the department resigned
on request after suggesting acceptance 
of a numbers racket bribe offer. 

Police Chief J. J. Padrick declarde 
in a signed statement that Sergant 
Luke B. Rourk relayed a bribe
offer to the chief that would have,
paid the two $350 a month. Padrick
said Rourk suggested they accept,.
The chief's statement said in
part:
"Sgt. Rourk confronted me in regards 
to an organization that he
believed Was from Columbia, S. C.,
that wanted to come to Wilmington
because of the heavy industries located 
in this section, and that they
wanted a place in the numbers

racket here.
"Sgt. Rourk stated that he was to
contact me and if it was okay, I
was to receive $200 a month and he
was to receive $150 a month as contactor. 
I told Sgt. Rourk my answer 
was 'no' and that I was surprised 
that he had approached me
with such a subject."

the bribe offer with the city manager, 
and it was decided that Rourk
be asked to hand in his resignation
immediately.
Rourk came in for public attention 
several months ago when he
shot and killed a Negro on the upper 
balcony of the Superior Courtroom 
as Negro tried to escape. A
coroner's jury exonerated him in the
case.

"Meet The Press" To
Launch New Program
Lawrence E. Spivak 
and Martha Rountree, ownerproducers 
of the Meet The Press"
and "Keep Posted" programs, will
launch a new, half-hour TV program 
"Nation's News Conference"
via a special pre-conventions series 
over NBC-TV beginning July

1 at 7 p. m. Current plants are for
this new program also to be telecast 
frequently during the actual
conventions.
"Nation's News conference"—like
its pioneering predecessor, "Meet
the Press"—will in essence offer
the American viewing public a
public front-row seat at one of
America's most democratic and
stimulating institutions—a fullscale 
press-conference at which
dozens of topflight journalists will
query top public figures on issues
of the day. The immediacy of the
sight-and-sound medium plus the
expertness of the participants, are
expected to afford viewers a dramatic; 
educational and provocative
picture of democracy at work.

to the Republican Convention follows:, 
July 1-7 p. m.; July 3-8:30

"We hope with "Nation's
News Conference" to pay deserved
tribute to the reporters or the various 
press associations and newspapers 
whose hard work and abili
ty 
have given us the world's best
press. Without the detailed information 
on what is going on in the
world furnished by our press, programs 
such as ours—which assume
and depend on this background of
information in our audience—would
not have grown to their current
status. "Nation's News Conference".
should help make even clearer to
viewers the high caliber of newspapermen 
whose often unsung
work makes us the best-informed
public In the world."

With The VA.
Post-Korea veterans who need
outpatient treatment for disabilities 
that are presumed to have resulted 
from their service win be
provided needed treatment by
Veterans Administration until V
can determine whether their disabilities 
actually are service-connected. 

C. D. Flynn, Acting Manager of
the Veterans Administration Atlanta 
Regional Office, released the
announcement today with the
statement that this procedure is
designed to prevent any delay in
furnishing outpatient treatment
for such veterans. Under existing
regulations, outpatient treatment
for most veterans may be given
only for service-connected disablities 
after VA has determined
that the disabilities actually are
service-connected and then has
authorized the treatment.
The change to permit treatment
for presumed service connected
disabilities before final determination 
has been made applies only
to veterans who served in the active 
U. S. military or naval forces
any place in the world on or after
June 27, 1950, the start of the. Korean 
hostilities and before a date
yet to be set. These post-Korea
veterans also must have been discharged 
or released from such service 
under conditions other than
dishonorable or have been retired.
One other requirement applies to
post-Korea veterans who are retired 
for disability and are receiving 
disability retirement pay
from the armed forces. They must
first elect to take, their, compensation 
from VA before their disabilities 
can be presumed to be
service-connected for VA outpatient 
treatment.
Post-Korea veterans who meet
these requirements may be provided 
needed outpatient treatment
either for dental or medical disabilities 
presumed to have been
incurred, in or aggravated by service. 
While these treatment are
being given. VA will determine if
the disabilities actually are serviceconnected. 

Where VA later finds that disabilities 
are not service-connected
outpatient treatment will be, discontinued 
from that date: but,
where VA finds that the disabilities 
actually are service-connected,
outpatient treatment, will be continued 
and the veterans, if sufficiently 
disabled will receive VA
compensation for the degree of
their disabilities
To be eligible for dental outpatient 
treatment under these conditions, 
a post-Korea veteran must
file his application within 12
months from the date of his discharge 
or release from a period of
6 months or more of active service 
that has been terminated on,
or after June 27. 1950.
Unless the application is otherwise 
disapproved by VA, it wilt be
approved on the basis of prima
facie eligibility for the treatment
of dental disabilities shown by examination 
on other evidence tohave 
existed within a year from
the date of discharge or release.
However, the replacement of missing 
teeth will be authorized only
us may be necessary for the cor
ruction of defects for which service-connection 
already has been
established.
For medical outpatient treatment
of all other disabilities except active 
psychosis, active tuberculosis
and multiple sclerosis (a sort of
creeping paralysis), the disabilities
may be presumed to be serviceconnected 
within one year from
the" veteran's discharge or release
from active service on or after
June 27, 1950. For active tuber
culosis, the disability may be prasumed 
to be service-connected with
in three years of the veteran's discharge 
on or after June 27; 1950,
providing he had 90 days of active
service. For active psychosis, the
disability may be presumed to be
service-connected within two years
after thealntyxYsaed 1
after June 27, 1950. For multiple
sclerosis, the disability may be
presumed, to be service-connected
within two years of the veteran's
discharge on or after June 27,
1950 providing he had 90 days of
service. This presumption of service-connection 
for outpatient card
of post-Korea veterans is similar
to that granted to World War
II veterans after the end of that
war.
All credit restrictions are terminated 
on GI business loans made
by private lenders to World War
H veterans for the purchase of
passenger automobiles, C. D.
Flynn, Acting Manager of the
Veterans Administration, Atlanta
Regional Office announced recently. 

Before the restrictions were eliminated 
the maximum term of a
GI business loan for the purchase
Of a new automobile could not exceed 
30 months, and for the purchase 
of a "used car, 24 months.
VA said that private lenders can
make loans for such purposes with
longer maximum terms but in no
case may the term exceed the economic 
life of the automobile.
No down payments were required
for GI automobile loans under the
old restrictions and none is required 
now.
The basic law covering GI automobile 
loans remains unchanged.
Under this law, such loans can be
guaranteed or insured only where
is shown that the automobile is
a necessity to the veteran in conducting 
his business or in fulfilling 
the requirements of his job.
The use of an automobile merely
for necessary travel to and from
work does not qualify a veteran
for a GI auto loan.
Snead says he still expects 
to win an Open as well as
other new titles.
If the younger boys are going to
supplant the established champions,
they'll have to do it the hard way,
With both Snead and Hogan in the
competition.
