NY Times Editor To Speak to SDX
Turner Catledge, executive editor of the New York Times, will deliver the first Sigma Delta Chi Foundation lecture December 2 at the University of Kansas.
Catledge is one of three distinguished newsmen inaugurating the Foundation lecture series this year on U.S. campuses.
HE WILL SPEAK at 8 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. A dinner is planned in his honor earlier that evening by the KU chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional society in journalism.
His host in Lawrence, the KU chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, was founded on February 22, 1909, and is the organization's second oldest.
The foundation was incorporated by Sigma Delta Chi in 1962 to encourage journalism education and the training of future journalists.
In the early 1920's, after his graduation from college, Catledge, as editor of one Mississippi newspaper and managing editor of another, waged vigorous editorial campaigns against the then-powerful Ku Klux Klan.

As a member of the Times' Washington bureau, Catledge covered the New Deal of President Franklin Roosevelt and coauthored a book dealing with the President's unsuccessful effort to expand membership of the U.S. Supreme Court. At that time he was said to know more ranking officials of the federal government than any other member of the large Times bureau.
He returned to New York in 1945 as assistant managing editor. In May of 1957, Catledge wrote in an exclusive interview with Nikita Khrushchev of the former Russian premier's proposal for a summit conference of world leaders.
