John Knight Get Pulitzers
NEW YORK - John S.
Knight and staff members of
two of his newspapers won sep
arate 1968 Pulitzer Prizes for
Journalistic excellecce Monday
in an unique three-category
sweep of the awards.
Never in the 52-year history of
Ihe prizes had members of one
group of newspapers won three
awards in a single year. There
have been double sitords on
seven occasions.
Knight, editorial director of
the Knight Newspapers, was
honored for distinguished edito
rial writing. The Detroit Tree
Press staff was cited for in the
field of local reporting for its
coverage of last summer's riots
there. Eugene Gray Payne of
Knight's Charlotte. N.C., Ob
server, was named the out
standing editorial cartoonist of
1967.
The Free Press has been shut
down since last November by a
labor dispute. It was believed to
be the first time a Pulitzer
Prize has gone to a newspaper
which is not publishing.
The Riverside, Calif., Press-
Enterprise won the Pulitzer
Prize for meritorious public
service for its expose of corrup
tion in the courts in connection
with the handling of property
and estate's of an Indian trioe in
California.
The Pulitzer Prize for fiction
went to William Styron Tor his
book, "The Confessions of Nat
Turner," based on the only ef
fective slave revolt in American
history.
George F. Kennan, a veteran
diplomat, became a two-time
prize winner. He received the
1968 award for biography for his
"Memoirs, 1925 1950. ' He was
the 1957 winner in history.
For the fourth time in the past
six years, the Columbia Univer
sity Board of Trustees omitted a
Pulitizet Prize for drama.
The prizes were established in
the will of the late Joseph Pul
itzer, who died in 1911, and were
first awarded in 1917. Pulitzer
was founder of the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch and publisher of
the old New York World.
The awards are made by the
Columbia trustees, based on re
commendations by the Advisory

Vote Protested
In Hillsborough
- A
protest has b«n lodgeo
against the 403 votes recorded
in Hillsboro's Eno Precinct dur
ing Saturday's primary, raising
the possibility that the votes
may be thrown out.
County elections board Chair
man Marshall Cates of Hillsboro
said Monday night there was a
dispute over the judge appoint
ed to oversee the election in the
small precinct, which borders
the Durham County line, v
Cates said the elections board,
in accordance with the law, ap
pointed a judge for the Eno pre
cinct. When the judge arrived,
however, the precinct's regis
trar, Mrs. Lillian Griffin, had
appointed and sworn in another
judge. The first judge filed a
protest.
Cates said the registrar is al
lowed to swear in a judge only l
when the proper judge does not
appear at the polls by opening
time. This, said Cates, "was not
the case Saturday in the Eno
precinct." i

THE NUMBER of march

nation's capital from all
sections of the nation May

marchers before they set
out:
"On this spot where mv
husband gave his life, I
pledge eternal loyalty to
the work which be so nobly
began. His legacy will lead
us to the point where all of
God's children have shoes.
"Like those men of old
who saw a star and were
wise enough to follow it let
our steps be led by the
light which he continues to
cast." ' , -
BEFORE BEGINNING

dedicated a gray marble
tablet, inscribed with a
star and a cross, on the
