Hodding Carter Speech Is Friday
Hodding Carter, Pulitzer prize-winning Southern editor, will outline his views on editorial responsibility Friday at the annual William Allen White lecture. The speech at 3 p.m. in Fraser Theater will be open to the public.
Carter, who is editor and publisher of the Greenville, Miss., Delta Democrat-Times, has conducted an active struggle against intolerance.
FOR HIS EDITORIAL, excellence,
he will be awarded the National Citation of Journalistic Merit of the William Allen White Foundation.
Dolph Simons, Foundation president
and publisher of the Lawrence
Journal-World, will make the presentation just prior to Carter's address Friday afternoon.
Carter has received national recognition as a small-town newspaper editor in the tradition of William Allen White, whose birthday is the occasion for the citation and lecture.
AT 6 P.M. Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism groups will sponsor a dinner meeting in honor of Mr. Carter in the Kansas Union. He will speak informally after the meal.
The Southern editor was awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1946 for his editorial which described the record of the Nisei Americans of the 442nd Infantry Regiment whose motto was "Go for Broke!" A key paragraph was:
"IT IS SO easy for a dominant race to explain good or evil, patriotism or treachery, courage or cowardice in terms of skin color. So easy and so tragically wrong."
Carter's newspaper and literary recognitions include a Guggenheim fellowship in creative writing in 1945, membership in the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Elijah Lovejoy award in 1952 and membership on the Pulitzer Prize Advisory Board since 1951.
Kennedy Backs Housing Choice
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy told the Senate Banking Committee today he has no doubts about the loyalty of Robert C. Weaver, his nominee for federal housing chief.
Kennedy rushed a letter to committee chairman A. Willis Robertson, D-Va., with the unqualified endorsement after Robertson refused to start a hearing on the Weaver nomination without it.
After receiving the letter, which he read to a packed hearing, Robertson began hearings on the controversial appointment of the New York Negro. He had held up the hearings more than one and one half hours.
Kenpedy wrote Robertson that, "as is customary in nominations of this importance," the FBI conducted an investigation.
Several Southern Senators have made veiled references in past weeks to Weaver's past associations.

JFK Seeking $1.25 Minimum
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy asked Congress today to raise the minimum wage to $1.25 an hour and broaden its coverage to prevent "the growth of an under-privileged and underpaid class."
Kennedy's proposal would boost the minimum from the present $1 for employees covered by the federal law and extend coverage to an additional 4.3 million workers.
The President submitted the draft of a bill along with letters to Speaker Sam Rayburn and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, president of the Senate, appealing for action.
"Our nation can ill afford to tolerate the growth of an under-privilleged and underpaid class," Kennedy said. "Sub-standard wages lead necessarily to sub-standard living conditions, hardship and distress.
Kennedy earlier told Democratic Congressional leaders he would send 10 special messages to Congress in the next few weeks.
Kennedy met his Congressional chiefs at a White House breakfast.

Andrews has shown little emotion since he was taken to the Wyandotte County Jail Nov. 29, 1959. He was a student of the University of Kansas at the time of the slayings in his Wyandotte county home.
Committee to Study Business Problems
Warden Tracy Hand said that there has been no change in his attitude since the Supreme Court upheld the district court verdict of guilty of first degree murder and fixed his execution for March 9.
Lowell Lee Andrews, former KU student convicted of killing his sister and parents, replied "I believe I do" when a warden asked him yesterday if he wanted to apply for executive clemency.
WASHINGTON — (UFI) — The House yesterday recreated its special 13-member committee to study the problems of small businesses. The action was approved without objection or discussion.
Andrews, calmly awaiting his fate at the death house in the Lansing penitentiary reportedly was silent for a moment before he answered Warden Tracy Hand's question.
