In a city where death in the afternoon is a classic newspaper fate, the three have been scrambling to regain circulatory lifeblood. even if it means draining the other fellow's veins. This week Hearst's Journal-American (circ. 585.121) launched its boldest raid on rival circulation.

...samples of messages from 21 prominent civil rights men, e.g., U.N. Official Ralph Bunche, retired Baseball Star Jack Robinson and A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, urging the Administration to stand pat for a strong bill. From such leading Negro newspapers as the Norfolk Journal and Guide and New York's Amsterdam News came outspoken criticism of the N.A.A.C.P. leaders who had agreed to the weak bill. Said the Amsterdam News: "When we find the N.A.A.C.P.'s Secretary, Roy Wilkins, sleeping in the same political bed with [Mississippi's] Senator Eastland...
