Dubois to Speak Here Feb.10
Jules Dubois, Latin American correspondent for The Chicago Tribune since 1947, will give the eleventh annual William Allen White Lecture at the University of Kansas Wednesday, Feb. 10, as recipient of the William Allen White Foundation's 1960 national citation for journalistic merit.
Jules Dubois
He will speak at 3 p.m. in Fraser Theater. The lecture is sponsored each year by the Foundation, which also holds its annual board of trustees meeting on February 10. This date is also the birthday of the late William Allen White, noted editor and
publisher of The Emporia Gazette and a former KU student.
Variety of Experience
As correspondent for The Chicago Tribune, Mr. Dubois has crossed the Equator 90 times in covering news events all the way from the Rio Grande to the southern tip of South America.
Since 1951 he has been chairman of the freedom of the press committee of the Inter-American Press Association. In that capacity he has conducted crusades for freedom of the press that have brought him into personal danger many times.
On several occasions he has been barred from various lands by dictators, and he is particularly proud of the title "Number One Gangster of Yankee Journalism," given to him by Juan Peron when the latter was still dictator of Argentina.
In recent years Mr. Dubois has been best known for his coverage of the Fidel Castro revolt against the Batista government in Cuba and for his accounts from Cuba since Castro overthrew Batista a year ago and took over the Cuban government.
Since Castro's victory, Mr. Dubois has staved close to Cuban developments. In recent months he has been under severe attack by the Castro regime because of his revelations as to methods and policies of the government.
Holds Cabot Medal
Mr. Dubois has received numerous honors and awards as a result of his reporting in Latin America, including the Maria Moors Cabot gold medal that is presented each year by Columbia University in recognition
