Ted Poston Is
Honored by New
York NAACP

NEW YORK, Dec. 18--Honoring Ted Poston, star reporter of the New York Post, the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People presented a plaque to him "for journalistic achievement in the service of true democracy."

The presentation was made at a mass meeting here last week.

In response to the presentation, made by Dr. C. B. Powell, publisher of the New York Amsterdam News, Mr. Poston praised the work of the NAACP in battering down the barriers of segregation and discrimination. Also speaking was Walter White, NAACP executive secretary, who recalled the valiant work Mr. Poston had done in reporting the Groveland, Fla. case, the Cicero riot, and the Josephine Baker-Stork Club case. "Ted Poston," he said, "is a crusading newspaperman in the great tradition of Lincoln Steffens and Heywood Brown."

Other speakers included Dr. Marguerite Cartwright, who, on the basis of a recent trip to Europe, reported on reactions abroad to the Negro and to race relations in this country; Lindsay White, president of the branch; and Judge Hubert Delany, member of the national NAACP board of directors, who presided.
