McCray and The Pittsburgh Courier, have entered into a conspiracy to destroy his newspapers by publishing libelous and defamatory articles •bout him In an effort to hold him up to public scorn, contempt and ridicule. That this whole scheme is to turn the masses of .3- Negroes against him because of his views. 10.

That on April 29, 1961, the defendant Pittsburgh Courier printed and circulated in South Carolina, throughout the South and the nation, an article written by Trezzvant W, Anderson as follows: A. "Returning from Lovejoy, Georgia recently, chauffeured by none dher than U. S. Senator Herman Talmadge, we discovered that Senator Talmadge has one big fear: that some overt act may bring on a nuclear war, and that if such does happen it will all be over In 15 minutes. "We will destroy ourselves," he said. The power is there, and Senator Talmadge, who reads the Bible closely, reminded me of the Book of Revelation, remarking on how similar things are getting to be today to those described. We agreed on that." B. "The Senator was a gracious and obliging host, and I appreciate that very much. When we reached Atlanta in the rain, he asked: "Where do you want me to take you?1 C. "Incidently, he told me, too, that Negro publisher Davis -5- Lee, had been to see him, as had Dr. R. W, Green of Columbus, Georgia, When I asked the leading question, I drew only silence. Perhaps I did'nt put lt buntly enough." 2, The Plaintiff alleges and avers that the article is false, libelous and written to deceive and mislead the Negro % public. The writer knew that this plaintiff had never been to see Senator Talmadge at his home in Lovejoy, Georgia, and he also knew that Senator Talmadge did not tell him that. 3, The Plaintiff further avers that this defendant has written and printed many false, slanted and malicious articles about Sentator Talmadge which has created a dreadful image of him In the minds of the Negro masses, and by connecting this plaintiff with the Senator In a visit to his home would not only create a false image of this plaintiff, but would cause Neqro -6- injured and by force of the code for such cases made and provided, an action has accrued to him to have and demand of and from defendants judgment for the following amounts, plus the cost of this action wherefore, Plaintiff prays 1.

Well, this is your opportunity to tell us what you (the all-important one) prefer reading. We can't always include all of our regular features in THE COURIER (because of space), and the results of this poll will help us to decide which you prefer we give priority rating, as well as assisting us in improving YOUR paper. Your opinions, of course, are not for publication . . . you don't even have to sign your name, although we would appreciate it if you will. 1.

TTLXDCS [PDWg[I3a^©K] Largest Negro Weekly (fFbui»icr) Member of the Audit Newspaper In the World Bur.au of Circulations Published by The Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Company, Inc. POST OFFICE BOX 1828 MUseum 3-2000 PITTSBURGH 30, PA. June 6, 1963 Mr. John McCray, ATLANIC NEWS SERVICE Columbia U, South Carolina Dear Mr. McCray: This letter acknowledges receipt of your letter of June $. The dead past must bury its dead. I cannot be concerned with it. We want circulation in South Carolina and we believe there is a market in the state for us. But we cannot do business with anybody who is going to hook us with a big salary and big expense accounts. We do not have the money. We're on the brink of dis aster now. We are working on a plan in Georgia now which seems to be going well. I have never believed in the big cities as the true markets for the Courier. The Courier can and should be sold in medium and small-sized towns by responsible boys and girls who are well known and liked in their communities. These are the towns where Grit goes and escapes the heavy competition of the big cities. Every time we get a man and pay him a big salary he wants to hole up in a big town and start off ordering a thousand papers and selling 200. We need someone who is will ing to get out into the bushes and rustle. Whether you're the right person or not, I do not know, Mr. McCray. I have known of you through the years and I have great respect for your integrity and contibution to the cause. But the work I want done is hard and there is no salary involved. But there is big money for the right man. I want and need a man who will go into the small towns and line up boys and girls to sell the Courier. I am not pre pared to pay him anything at all. But if his boys and girls return to him $13ig for each paper they sell, I will allow him to retain $.02-J for himself. That means that if his boys and girls sell 1,000 papers, he will have $25.00, but if they sell 10,000 papers, he will have $2^0.00 a week to cover his salary Page 2 Mr. John McCray and his expenses. Furthermore, I want this man to organize his boys into Courier Pioneers, boys who are bright enough to go to college and who want to prepare themselves for the future. They can make their college money selling the Courier. I am enclosing a short description of our Courier Pioneer plan for you to read. Think over this hard, Brother McCray. I know the years have crept up on you just like they have on me, but I'm still working hard. There's a lot of kick left in this ol' mule and I'm sure you have a lot of kick left. Under this plan, we'll need no contracts or bonding. Your boys will sell the papers and you'll substract yours from what they remit to you and you'll remit to us, twice a month, what we have coming. If this isn't good for you, please find someone this plan fits. P. L. Pra'ttis Associate Publisher PLP:kb MEMORANDUM For Principals, Teachers and Counsellors of the Georgia Teachers & Education Assn. WE ASK YOU TO GREET THE COURIER PIONEERS. The leadership of The Pittsburgh Courier recognizes that the great challenge to American Negroes in the next 1^ years is going to be EDUCATION. Our people faced a similar challenge right after the Civil War. But that challenge was different and much less difficult because you could prepare for life by learning a little "readin1, writin' and 'rithmetic." That is no longer true. Every nation is exploiting the very best brains it can find. You're going to find, more and more, that you must have the brains, the training and the skills required in order to be ready for the job of the future. The American Negro as a group is the only group which has not been exploited for its brains. Now is the time when we must begin to put our brains in the market. What is a COURIER PIONEER? A Courier Pioneer is a lad of ten or eleven who has brains, who can sail through college with a B or B-minus average. Where are the Courier Pioneers to be found? They are in your school and all the other schools in Georgia. They are in the schools throughout the South. We want you to help us to find these Pioneers. We want principals, teachers and counsellors to find for us in their schools the two or three boys who want to be somebody when they grow up. We want boys whom you'll be proud of and whom the community will want to help. We want you to recommend the right boys to us. But before you make any recommendation, we want you to find out what kind of a family the boy comes from. He must come from a good respectable family. His parents must want to see him get ahead in life. They must be willing to take care of him. Then we would like to know what the boy's minister thinks about him. Does he attend Sunday School regularly? What kind of a personality does he have? If you can find and recommend to us the kind of boys we are looking for, we want to put these boys in business. We want to start them on their way to college. Yes, you've guessed it. We do want them to sell The Courier. But look what can happen if they are the right kind of boys and the friends of their family in the community stand behind them. Let's assume that a boy has a route where he disposes of 200 papers a week, Wednesday and Thursday after school. If he sells 200 papers a week, he'll make $13.00 a week for himself. At this point, his principal or his counsellor will step in. He'll take this boy to the bank and start a savings account. Each week the principal or counsellor will check to see if the boy has made his deposit in his savings account. If this is done every week for a year, the youngster will have $676.00 in the bank at the end of the first year. If he starts at the age of ten and continues until he is ready to go to college, he should have $f>,l;08.00, not counting interest, in the bank. The only withdrawals he would be permitted to make would be for the purchase of a bicycle and for bicycle repairs. He would not be permitted to "lend" money to his parents. He would go through a sort of self- disciplining process for eight years. By the time he reached college, he would be a MAN. But this would not be all. Throughout the years he would be selling The Courier, he would be entitled to extraordinary rewards for extraordinary service. He might win a free trip to Washington, Pittsburgh, New York. He would earn the right to membership in The Courier Pioneers Club with members in every state in the South. This would be a select club where membership could be earned only through achievement. Being a Courier Pioneer would mean that a boy was an honor or high-honor student. This vast and necessary program cannot be made a success without your help. We know that. Thus we appeal to you for help. Let us join in a program that will fill us all with pride twenty years from now. Will you help us to find the right boys? If you will, please let us know. A stamped, addressed envelope is enclosed for your reply and for the Subscription order. Oh, yes I Don't let us talk like we have all the brains. You may have suggestions that would improve our program. Any suggestions you might make we would welcome and consider a form of cooperation. We must have it. P. L.
