CAR CLEANERS RALLY TO PORTERS’ BROTHERHHOOD New York, March 12—Following a trip through the Middlewest and Southeast, A. Philip Randolph, In ternational President of the Bro therhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and Bennie Smith, Second Interna tional Vice President, reported that in the cities they visited, icluding Detroit, Indianapolis, Columbus, ! Cincinnati, Nashville and Chattan ooga, the Pullman Car Cleaners and Yard Forces were rallying to the banner of the Brotherhood, in the campaign to organize these classes of workers. A series of meetings for the Pullman Ca: Cleaners and Yard Forces are non being held from coast to coast by the Brotherhood, stated Mr. Kai f! olph. G. E. PAID $232,735 COR SUGGESTIONS LAST YEAR Production suggestions from em ployees, many of which accelerated the war program, netted General Electric workers 1232,735 in award: during 1944, according to company tabulations recently released.

Rockefeller, Jr., chairman of the national advisory committee; Dr. Mordecia W. Johnson, president Howard University, and Walter Hoving, chairman of the national executive committee. ■ .... --- —■ NNPA Thanns All Who Made Negro Newspaper Week A Great Success Every successful program re flects the cooperation of many peo ple. The recent Negro Press week radio programs were no exception. Naturally the Press Week Comm ittee conceived, arranged and im plemented the programs but the committee would have been help less without the cooperation of others. The order to have a radio pro gram, you need theme, script ma terial, prinicapls, and certainly ra dio time. The Negro Press fortun ately has been able to secure all of these during the past three years. Such was possible however, only through organization of the Negro Press, its supporters, the Radio Networks, various artists and writ ers. Programs, usually are revised many times before Broadcast time. Conflicts and difficulties often play havoc with original plans. At first the NBC program of February 24th included Lena Horne and Paul Robeson, who were willing to ap pear. Moreover, War Correspond ent Enoch Waters was to be picked up from Pearl Harbor. At Broad cast time Lena Horne found herself enroute to New York to fill an en gagement. Paul Robeson found the program physically impossible due to a matinee performance. Waters after 0 days at an aerial embark ation center awaiting transporta tion to Pearl Harbor had to broad cast from San Francisco. Lionel Hampton, heard from Chi cago found it necessary to broad cast from the Downtown Theatre because program time conflicted with show time. Most artists are extremely cooperative and will of ten inconvenience themselves to appear. Such spirit was demon strated by Edward Matthews, who consented to appear on short not ice. The Columbia program of March 2nd, originally planned to pick up Randy Dixon from London and Max Johnson from France. On the day of the broadcast, plans were necessarily reversed due to locat ion. Dixie poped up in France and Johnson in Italy. Result: last min ute circuit scheduling and script revision. Radio is doing a magnificent job of public service. Worthwhile pro grams receive complete cooperat ion, often costing the radio people themselves thousands of dollars in radio time and production expens es. The Negro Press by virtue of its many reportorial services at home and abroad is ideally suited to the sponsorship of radio programs. Such would not be possible how ever with out the complete cooper ation of people like William Slo cum, director of Special Events CBS., and Mrs. Doris Corwith, assist ant Public Service manager of NBOf and the staff script, production, traffic and press representatives of each network. These people spent many days working with the Press Week Committee planning, revising scheduling, clearing, rehearsing and producing the respective pro grams. In addition the Negro Art^ts, Major General A D. Sur les. Major Roberts, Colonel Edward Kirby. Truman K. Gibson, Jr., Car loion Moss, who wrote the dramat ization on Sgt. Waverly B. Woodson The American Federation of Music ians, American Federation of Radio Press is indebted to Wm. B.

I To all of these, the Negro Newspa | per Publishers Association and its Press Week Committee. namely. Frank L. Stanley, chairman, Dow dal H. Davis, Jr., and Thomas W. Young, express gratitude and thanks. rWins Award Ted Collins (left), producer of CBS “Kate Smith Hour,” presents Count Basie with the “Orchestra World” award as the top musician of 1944.
