something new, in ( form of li
beralization of treatment, he now
has, as the saying goes, another
thought coming to him.
For the hound degs of southern
prejudice have been unleashed
against him. The indirect object
of their initial attack is a publi
cation with headquarters at Cha
pel Hill. which is the seat of the
University of North Carolina. The
sizme of the magazine which s
under fire is Contempo. The edi
tors of Contempo were hospitable
to hanghes when he visited in

from h's pen and a short article
based upon the Scottsboro affair,
Greater Comment
The issue of Contempe in which
Hughes' material was published
was so fair in many respects (or
radical. as white folk would say)
that Negro leaders in th's city and
other sections of the state were
unable to believe what they saw
and many wondered if the univer
sity was responsible for such a
progressive publication. Thev wer
