...Fair Dealing NEW YORK POST: THE new TV-radio production known as "White House Press Conference" is apparently here to stay. In most places the opening was favorably reviewed. What is most notable in all the comment is the absence of protest over the censorship imposed by the White House on the TV-radio networks-a censorship which the networks have supinely accepted. This isn't a "live" TV-radio show. It is a carefully-edited "documentary"; the editing is done by White House Press Secretary Hagerty. The censorship has nothing to do with national security. It is governed...
...specter of famine, and increased peasant resistance to government collection of grain. Previous failures to control the peasants in this area (e.g., in the Dearly '30s, when farmers slaughtered millions of head of cattle when forced to collectivize, and in 1950, when they burned haystacks as a protest against new regimentation) led Khrushchev last year to undertake a vast switch in Soviet agricultural effort: to grow wheat on some 100 million acres of marginal and semidesert land in Siberia.

He used a camera to record hundreds of such differences, then translated them into the sparse, nervous lines that are his trademark. But for years his main business was simply to protest evils and inequities. Shahn made his messages so plain that many of them were converted into posters by the addition of a slogan.

...protest is still there. But it is stated in poetic rather than in "proletarian" terms. Shahn still draws for two hours every morning ("like doing finger exercises"), and the liveliness of his draftsmanship keeps even the vaguest of his new works from seeming too diffuse...
...these stories will convince thoughtful readers that no such conclusion is to be drawn. In the main, such stories stem from border areas of the South or isolated sections where the ratio of Negro and white is more nearly that of the North. School boards which have agreed, without protest, to abide by the recent ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court and Negro children to formerly white schools do not represent the attitude of the Deep South. For the most part, such school boards have been located in regions where racial inequality was never a problem. Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina...
