Racial Tension Attributed to
Lack of News Media Contact
RADNOR, Pa. lncreased
racial tension in Detroit can
be attributed largely to the
news media there, TV Guide
magazine reported in this week
issue.
During the past six months,
with newspapers closed be
cause of a strike, the responsi
bility for informing the public
has fallen to the radio and
television stations. These media
have failed to relieve feus of
racial unrest in both t)ie Negro
and white communities. >
The city has been plagued
by rumors of racial troubles,
and Detroit Mayor Jerome
Cavanaugh said the absence of
newspapers to inform them
has led many residents to feel
the city is not doing anything
positive to relieve the problem.
Neil Hickey of TV Guide
recently surveyed Detroit as
generally typical of a large
metropolitan city with a large
minority population. The

goals of the co-operative were

The co-operative will also mar
ket okra and peas. It will also
attempt to re-educate farmers
whose main production is cot

tall vegetable crops. Through
the co-op the farmer will be
able to buy farm supplies such
as seed, feeds, and fertilizer as
well as petroleum products.
Long range goals of the co
operative are a beef cattle pro

on the situation in the Motor
City:
The lack of newspapers has
kept residents in the dark
about what is taking place in
Detroit.
Many Negro leader think
the local TV stations and net
works alike show a lack of
knowledge of what is happen
ing in the inner city. Stations
could solve this, they say, by
having trained Negro reporters
with an intimate knowledge of
the ghetto areas.
Many activists contend the
mass media in the city - news
papers, radio and television
aie vehicles to retain the status
quo.
"They propagandize for
existing bureaucracies and thus
preclude social change," said
Dr. Karl T. Gregory, Wayne
State University economist
who frequently speaks for
black causes in the Detroit
"White reporters have their
farmers whose acreage ranges
from 40 to 200 acres. A second
reason why there is unity in
Holmes County rest* on the
strong political arm of FDP.
Holmes County is one of the
best politically organized
counties in Miss, which is
shown by the election of Ro
bert Clark.
Co-operatives like Mileston
and SWAFCA in Alabama re
present a new trend in stabili
zing the economy of low-in
come farmers in the South. If
such enterprises can be success
ful there is hope that other
areas in the South can be orga
nized around economic object
ives.

own social habits. Through
existing social arrangements,
they have a set of contacts
among black people whom
they depend upon for informa
tion and interpretation. They
go to these 'authentic' sources
for interviews and get these
people to say what they want
them to say. Meanwhile, every
body in the black community
is laughing," Dr. Gregory said.
Hickey said many of the
conclusions of what is happen
ing in Detroit could be applied
to other cities because of the
impressions white people get
from watching televised news.

Durham Has
Large Group in
State's Finals
RALEIGH—North Carolina
State University conferred de
grees on 27 Durham County
men, Including two who earn
ed master degrees, at Reynolds
Coliseum, Saturday morning
(May 25).
Chancellor John T. Cald
well addressed almost 1,900
graduating students, the largest
commencement roster in the
79-year history of NCSU.
Governor Dan K. Moore and
President William C., Friday
commended the students for
achieving their academic goals.
For some of the graduates,
the diplomas constituted pass
ports to the highest starting
salaries ever recorded by a
graduating class.
For others, the degrees are
starting steps toward advanced
academic work.
For still others, the com
mencement processional was a
move toward military obliga
tions to the nation.
In the Durham list of grad
uates were students who have
mastered courses of study rang
ing from textile technology to
psychology and from political
science to aerospace engineer
ing.
Fourteen of the 27 Durham
men earned degrees in engi
neering fields. The Soviet
Union has been graduating four
engineers for each American
engineering graduate during re
cent years.
Winning masters degrees
were: George B. Cox Jr., son
of Mr. and Mrs. George B.
Cox Sr. of 3405 Mossdale Ave.,
and Alton Skinner 111, son of
Mr. Alton Skinner Jr. of 811
Rosehill Ave. and Mrs. Alta
V. Skinner of 1202 Vickere
Ave.
Cox earned his masters in
mechanical engineering. Skin
ner took his degree in eco
nomics.
More than half of the Dur
ham graduates are married men
and many of them are fathers.
That ratio is higher than the
growing University-wide per
centage of married students.

can't really Kjuawk about needing more busi

a ghost town is a losing proposition, we de
