C. is being congratu lated by C. A. Jefferson, ad 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 jtudy offered these conclusions -800 Negroes Continued from front page At the May Ist meeting the goals of the co-operative were outlined. The mem be is de cided on increasng the cotton ginned bom 800 bales to 2200. The co-operative will also mar ket okra and peas. It will also attempt to re-educate farmers whose main production is cot ton, into planting spring and 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 gram and a credit union. Bailey feels that the success of the Miles ton Co-operative can be attributed to two thinp; First, is the fact that many Negro farmers in Holmes County own their own land.

At center is Herbert Hutchinson of 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.

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. N. E. T.
