NEW YQRK—The long smolder
ing resentment of many years du
ration of a large section of the
population of New York City
against the anti-Jewish and anti
Negro bias in the columns of the
Daily News came to a dramatic
head this week when the American
Jewish Congress presented its case
against the News at a hearing on
the newspapers’ application for
an FM license.
Despite the fact that “Congress’
was not an applicant for an FM
licese and therefore not a party
to the hearing, the Federal Com
munications Commissions reversed
its earlier decision and permitted
the AJC to intervene and cross
examine officials of the Daily
News on anti-Semitic and anti
Negro articles which it has pub
lished. In two full days of testi
mony the AJC presented an air
tight case to prove a consistent
policy of bias on the part of New
York’s largest tabloid newspaper.
Setting a new pattern in the
fight against discrimination and
bigotry in New York City, this
was the firt time that documen
tary and statistical evidence that
are now being worked out.
Withholding of Kramer’s good
time was a punishment for having
before donating his blood suomit
ted a note to the Red Cross doc
tor protesting the organization’s
policy of segregating white and
Negro blood. Prison officials said
that this constituted smuggling in
violation of regulations.
DELEGATES ASK FOR
EQUAL TREATMENT
FOR MINORITY VETS
| Eighty delegates from fifty na
tional organizations, at the Na
tional Action Conference on Min
ority Veterans Problems Friday,
July 12, unanimously endorsed the
joint proposal of five veterans’
groups delegation lay before Fre
j sident Truman charges of discri
mination under the GI Bill of
rights and to demand the protec
i tion of the Department of Justice
for minority GI’s.
The veterans' groups who com
prise the delegation are: Catholic
War Veterans. Jewish War Vet
erans, American Veterans Commit
tee. Veterans League of America,
and United Negro and Allied Ve
terans of America.
The nomination of the veterans
delegation at the conference that
I was called by the American Coun
cil on Race Relations, came after
reports were heard from represen
tatives of the Veterans Admini
stration, the US Employment Ser
vice, and the National Housing
Agency. These reports were in the
form of progress reports on the
I recommendations made to these
agencies by the National Emergen
cy Conference on Minonty Vet
erans Problems held nere April
5 last.
A resolution of the five veterans’
groups, which was adopted unan
imously by the Conference today,
declared that the reports indicate J
little progress in eliminating treat
ment of minority veterans.
unaries xi. Houston, conference
Chairman, prominent Washington |
attorney and vice-president of the:
American Council on Race Rela-J
tions, declared in a special address
at the luncheon meeting of the
conference: Reports we have heard
this morning convince me that in j
the main the federal agencies re-'
sponsible for the administration of,
the G I Bill of rights are not fac- j
ing up to the task of aggressively,
combating discrimination against!
Negro, Japanese American, Mex
ican, Jewish and other minority
group veterans. The federal agen
cies appear to be concerned chief
ly with telling us why they can
not effectively fight discrination,
rather than going out and fight
ing it. What is needed obviously
is popular pressure on government.
The national organizations here re
presented should urge their local
branches to put the same kind of
[pressure on local offices of the fe
deral agencies that the Conference
is applying at the natienal level
Dissatisfied with the reports of
the Washington agencies, the con
ference took steps to set up a con
tinuing joint council on minority
veterans problems with the parti
cipation of the 50 national organ
izations attending the conference.
The American Council on Race
Relations was asked by the con
ference to act as a clearing house
for the Joint Council.
A resolution passed by the Con
ference condemned the numero is
attacks on the civil liberties of the
larly in the so»th, as in the ex
treme case of Columbia, Tenn. The
veterans delegation to President
Truman was instructed to call on
Attorney General and urge the re-^
opening and review of the Colum
bia case, and prompt action to in
voke the full powers of the law
against such volations.

The News helps to promote racial
antagonisms was placed on the of
fiaal record of a government body
It was also the first time tha
high officials in the Patterson
McCormack newspaper empire
were forced to take the stand and
attempt to explain the twenty
eight false and vicious articles
which the AJC introduced in evi
dence. Francis F Flynn, the News
business manage?-, was forced to
admit that The News has publi
shed articles which might be con
strued as anti-Semitic, but said
that "The News regretted it then
and regrets it today".
His regrets, however, were null
ified by the implied threat in the
following sentence which he ad
dressed directly to Will Maslow,
director of the commission on Law
and Social Action (CLSA| of the
American Jewish Congress:
“And the situation is not being
helped by the fight your organi
zation is making. You may obtain
your temporary objective, nameiy
to knock us out of a radio station
but I cannot see how it is going
to help you from a long range
point of view”
Among the exhibits on which
Mr. Maslow cross-examined Mr
Flynn were ten News editorials
containing anti-Semitic statements
and eight columns by John O’
Donnell, the . ews’ Washington
columnist. The O’Donnell pieces
ranged from a reprint in 1938 of
an anti-Semitic pamphlet by Sil
ver Shirt leader William Pellcy
to his two false and viciously mis
leading stories which he was forc
ed to retract after the damage
was done: one on General Patti n
and the Jews, and the most recent
one on the resignations of four
Supreme Court judges which Pre
sident Truman branded as fantas
tically untrue”.
Air. b lynn admitted on cross
examination that Mr O'Donnell
was still an employee of The News
and then stated, unabashedly and
with a straight face, that The
News expects, in its proposed ra
dio station, to retain the same
high standards of accuracy’ a~ in
it*’ newspaper.
Startling and highly scient -'c
statistics comparing the treatment
of Jews and Negroes in the news
columns of the Daily News to that
in all New York City morning
newsoapers during two three
month . periods, in 1945 and 1946,
were submitted bv Dr. Alexander
H. Pekelis, Chief Consultant to
the AJC, and Leila Sussman, New
York sociologist. The survey re
vealed tlrat more than half of the
space devoted by the Daily News
to Jews and Negroes during this
period was definitely unfavorable,
while 93 percent of the space de
voted to news about Jews and Ne- /
groes by the New York Times and
Herald Tribune was favorable in
character.
Taking t*e stories of Negroes
alone the statistics are even more
revealing of anti-minoritv bias on
the part of The News. The survey
revealed that more than three
nuarters of the space devoted by
the Daily News to Negroes dur
ing this period was unfavorable
while 93 percent of the space de
voted to Negroes by the Herald
Tribune in the same period was
favorable in character. The gen
eral average of New York morn
ing papers, apart from the Daily
News but including Hearst’s Daily
Mirror, was 86 percent favorable.
Similar analyses in the 36 charts
submitted in the survey and based
an such factors as space, number
ind prominence of stories, pictur
es, etc., revealed, according to Dr.
Pekelis, a constantly greater un
favorable emphasis in the treat
ment of stories about Jews and
Negroes in the Daily News than
in all other morning papers.
To show further the News’ bias
against Negroes, the AJC intro
duced a column by Jimmy Pow
ers, sports writer, defending the
eolor line in baseball. Dan D. Dod
aon, executive director of the Ma
yor’s Committee on Unity, ‘testi
fied that the Mayor's Committee
an Baseball had fssued a release
denouncing Powers column as stir
ring up racial strife and hindering
nterracial relations.
Several hundred witnesses ap
peared at the hearing to testify
is to the validity of a petition
signed by 100,000 New Yorkers
jpposing the grant of an F M li
:ense to the Daily News. The hear
ng Officer declined to hear these
witnesses on the grounds that the
irticles in The News, on which
heir views were based, were al
ready submitted in evidence.
