L. tHE CAftOLlNA tMtl . iATURSAY, APftlL It, IMO N. Y. FAIR DOES NOT REED NEGRO PRESS White Press Geltitiif All The Publicity Money COMMITTEE URGES COOPERATION OF SOUTHERN NEGROES IN IMOCENSUS (Calvin News Sarvtc*) New YORiK — In an inter view with the I fficiaU of the 11)40 Ntw York World'* Fair last week, C^dvin’s Nrwspapcr Bervice’i reporter wat informed tbut the Fair had not nur did it exiject to appropriate any money for publicity in the Negro preaa. This, despite the f.'.l^t that laat year these same olTicials admitt ed that thousands of dollars were spent with white news agciicies. -- .... —~ Among those present during tho interview were scores of white newapp,per men noW“em- pk-yed by the Fair. It was ad mitted by one of these workers that he was getting a nice salary for writing news stories for the VfA.'iou? white dailies. There wasn’t one writer for the colored presa on thp staif. 'When questioned about it, the officials answered that they did not hire any last ye^ir and s&w no reason why they should hire t!ny this year. It is understood that the Foir press and promotiotival • depart ment has on hand a list of Ne gro papers and plans to send free passes to them, hoping th«.lt this Would be sufficient to obtain free publicity in tfte colored press. It was pointed out by the re porter that unless the Fair offi cials provide to have some money gjven to the Negro press, the greater almount of publicity about the F»ir would be -un favorable. To this the oflficials dil no more than shrug their ehouMers a«d laiugh. They were reminded of the adverse stories carried by the colored papers btfause of the few Negroes em ployed *by the Fair. This, too, wu* ignored. According to the story al- rci'.ly circulated, more than 0.000 people would be hired by tlte Fair, n>,t including those in private concessions. It is,ad mitted that a number of Negro es will be hired in menial jobs, but only a few will occupy what is known ats white collar jobs. The officials stated with prid* that last year they employed « colored policeman and ^ number of cclorcd policewomen. They thought the same ones would be rehired this year but Wbtb not sure. Plans by the Fair oflflciaU to sponsor a “Negro D^y” are under way. They expect to make it one of the biggest days at the Fair, and have caitled in sever al Negro leaders to aid in mak ing it a succeta. If they refuse, however, the oflficijKs expect to go through with their plans. It was suggested to the ofTT- oials that if it was necessary to call in Negro leaders to tl?*ure the success of the Negro Day, then it was necessary to appro priate a speci^.1 fund for th« the distribution of news to the Negro prejw. It was learned by this Service that a number of the Itaders con tacted by the F>.lr are planning fa decline If the Fair doe* not appropriate any money for the Megrro papers, and hope that the p^hers will not give th« Fair favorable publicity.

As I heard the story I thought how much Jlfferent it migh\ How tm« that is! Ronninc I away from a pr. blem or tonv- ing our backs on it doe« not solve it. NEW YORK — Since last Noven»ber, Senator Alben B^- kley (D) af Kentucky, Senate majority leader, has refused to commit himself on the Anti- lynching bill or to hold a con» ference to discuss this legialar tion either with the Nation^ Association for the Advanc«- nient of Colored Pewple or with Seuator Robert F. Wagn«r, on* of the «ponsora of the bill. This information was revealed tcd!ky by the NAACP as the or ganisation made public a letter to Barkley regarding his failure tj set a d^lte for calling the bill up for debate despite the fact that the Senate Judiciary Com mittee has voted the bill out, and th® legislation is now on ti'e Senate Calendar. The NAACP sent the letter to the Senate Majority Leader, following publication of ^ re ported Interview on the Anti- Lynching bill which appeared in the New York Herald-Tribune on April 1. The report of the Tri bune’s Washington coriespond- ent gave the following version of Barkley’s reply to a question on the bill: “Asked when the controversijii' enti-lynching bill would come up. Senator Barkley avoided the question witlT a laughing coun ter-question to his interrogator.” Pointing ouT that reports com- i|ig -out of Wirtshingtoni all point to the fact that ever effort will be made to have Congress ad journ wiUvout acting oh th« bill, the NA'ACP letter was signed by Walter White, exec'Vitive secre- ti4ry of the Association, sai^ in part: “Such articTes as these are causing very great concern and rcfentment. Wherever I go I am {l.ked the question—and this is asked also of my as3ociate—‘Do you really believe tha Majority Leader and most of the other Democratic Senators are sincere in their efforts to obtain a vote 01 the Anti-lynching bill?” “When I have sought to a4»sure them t^iat there Me Senators on for.th sides of the'aisle who tfc*e sincere in their support of the biil 1 have been asked what ' dfctinito -assurance I have from you as . MfVority Leader that every possible effort will be mnde to obtain a vote at this aeksion of tha Congress. Obvious ly, I am unable to an^er this question. 1 l^l/e had to tell in- j qulrera that though 1 have been trying since last November to talk with you, I have not succeed ed, nor has Senator Wagner been successful in |,(rranging a confeence or getting any com- ^ milment from you.” Decrying the revival of nvob violenec in the face of a con tinued apathy on the part of tho Senate tow^'d tha Anti- ^ lynching bill, the letter conciud- “Receait revelaiion of lyncfcings and other acts of violence as have been revealed for example, in flid near Atlanta, Georgia, where a whita barber was flogged to death by a mob and SiO or more other men and wo men, white and colored, were be;t.^ten, cause people to wonder why the Senate does not act. It is generally believed that the st^kga is bein^ set for another oi/era bouffa performjuMa fUiA ar'Cther abject surrender to a filibuster. And wa liava albaolu- tely no evidence that this is not the \siie.” .... — ..
