SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Press Awakening Mississippi weekly editors (white) at their press association meeting at Biloxi, June 8-10 gave a considerable part of their deliberation of the treatment of the Mississippi Negro group in the news. J. Oliver Emmerich of the McComb Enterprise urged the assembled newsmen to "work to recognize the Negro and his achievements. It will do much towards working out race relations problems. Editor Emmerich recently won a special citation from Sigma Delta (Chi, national professional journalism fraternity for vigorously attacking the practice of Negro prisoners being whipped in the McComb jail. His fight ended a pernicious slavery day pattern. Another southern weekly editor, Ira Harkey of the Pascagoula Chronicle Star, reported that his paper had abandoned the south-wide (north-wide, too) practice of identifying by race, individuals in news stories when they were Negroes. Harkey said that "tagging a man 'colored or 'Negrol in a news story, is not only bad journalism, but is an injustice to a man who need justice." It is a good sign to see influential southern editors, molders of public custom and opinion in their areas, discussing their role in treating the Negroes of their communities fairly and decently in their news columns. The Negroes of thin nation, both north and south, have received millions of dollars worth of unfavorable publicity, by the continued use of the racial tag in both the daily and Weekly press. The practice in most instances, of getting news of the Negro community chiefly from the police blotters, has compounded the offense. Such practices by a large segment of the press resulted in millions of whites in this nation obtaining the impression that the Negro is basically a criminal and unfit for normal association with the balance of the nation's population. An example of what we would like to point out, is offered by a leading Chicago daily paper. In its Monday morning edition there were nine items about Negroes. The paper still clings to the racial tag method. Only two of the nine items in the edition checked were about the normal life of the Negro Chicagoan. The other seven involved Negroes who had run afoul of the law, or had been accused of crime. Thus, normal life of the 400,000 Chicago Negroes only produced two news stories, while the criminal activity had seven mentions despite the known/and admitted fact that Negro criminals in Chicago, as most other places, are in a great minority. For the reason that Twin City newspapers are almost completely ethical on the treatment of the Negro in the news residents here are apt to forget that the American press far and large still does not do the fair and decent thing in presentation of the life, trials, triumphs and disappointments of its Negro subscribers. It has come a long way in the past ten years but there is still a tremendous way to go. Part of the blame belongs with the Negro communities, scattered all over the nation. If leadership in most of them sat down and talked over the problem of fair treatment of their people with various editors, we have a feeling that progress would be swifter. Few editors like to be charged with being unfair and most of them, if properly approached would see the inconsistency of treating one group of Americans differently than others, even though they have been doing it for years. Such soul-searching. as the Mississippi editors and punlishers did early in June, is a happy barometer of progress to come. The press of America is quickening to the. tides of social justice, its great influence is slowly moving towards the substantial and high ground of interracial understanding and cooperation between black and white Americans. Such amity among Americans is vitally necessary to prestige and position of the United States of America, and the press has an important role to play in achieving it. —From Minneapolis Spokesman.

Mississippi clubs will furnish the bulk of the talent The vaunted Brooklyn Dodgers were treated very rudely in the city of brotherly love this week as the Whiz Kids from Philly went through the Bums like lighting through a Goose berry bush. The Phillis defeated the Dodgers three straight times and tied them 8 to 8 in the fourth game with the ardinals and Braves winning their contests. The Brooks were dropped to fourth place in the league standing —three games off the pace. The Braves followed the Dodgers into Philadelphia Monday and defeated the 'Whiz Kids' 3-1 to move to within one game of first place. The Phillis were particularly unkind to Don Newcombe, Dan Bankhead and Bud Podbelian—Jackie Robinson was chased from the first game of Sunday's Oneble bill in the second inning . . for arguing with Chief Armiter Jocko Colan. Casey Stengel. Yankee Pilot, is trying desperately to solve the first base problem, in a move which he hopes will alleviate the first base situation. Stengal has shifted the Yankee clipper Joe Dunaggo from Center-Field to first base. The first base position is not wholly unfamiliar to Joe. he played the position when he broke in to organized baseball in San Francisco, The Detroit Tigers strengthen their grip on first place in the American League as they split with Cleveland Sunday and beat the Whit Sox Monday—the Red Raiders of Rolfe now hold a four and one-half game margin.
