Bunche Declines
State Dep't Post
By The Associated N«gro Press
WASHINGTON.—Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, acting UN mediator
for Palestine, turned down an offer to become assistant
secretary of tate for middle eaitern affairs, here last Wed-
nesday The 44-year-old Detroiter would have become the first
Negro in Amerioan history ever to receive such a high govern-
ment job. .
Bunche's refusal was based on two strong reasons. First,
as director of the UN trusteeship
council and acting UN mediator
in the middle east, be draws $14,000
annually, tax free. The government
position would pay him $10,1130
minus tax cut*.
His other reason was that be
could not afford to live "as a sec-
ond class Jim Crow citizen in the
nation's capital."
Tbe assistant secretaryship Is a
new one which is to be established
under the reorganization legislation
for the state department, and is
now In the process of completion.
The Job was tendered Bunche be-
cause of his knowledge of the middle
eastern area and as a mark of ap-
preciation for bib services as acting
UN mediator.
In explaining bis refusal on fi-
nancial grounds, Dr. Bunche said
he has a daughter about to enter
college, another preparing for col-
lege and a six-year-old boy, start-
ing school.
"I have lived In Washington and
worked hero In the government and
I know what It costs," be said. "Be-
cause of my situation, I do not find
It possible to take the position with-
out finding myself In very great
financial embarrassment."
The acting UN mediator stated
ho wished to emphasize that he had
been highly honored by the offer
and had seriously considered it.
From New York came word that
Bunche lias been named "Father
of tbe Year" for bis achievements

WASHINGTON'.—The annual
Robert 8. Abbott award waa pre-
sented Jo President Harry S. Tru-
man last Wednesday at the White
House by John H. Sengstaeke, edi-
tor and publisher of the Chicago
Defender.
The chief executive was honored
for making the most significant
contributions to democracy In 194S.
The award, conceived in memory
of tbe late Robert Sengstaeke Ab-
bott, founder and publisher of the
Defender, has been a symbol of en-
lightened advancement in humnn
relations.
That President Truman was
chosen recipient of tbe award dur-
ing the Defender's 44th year of
leadership of the Negro press at-
tests to the widespread regard in
which Truman is held by colored
Americans.
In presenting the award, Seng-
staeke said, "It is fitting that you
should win this award because you,
like the man In whoso memory It
Is presented, were faced with an
uphill battle at a crucial period In
your career. But the 'nmlerdog' role
only served to spur you on. Hard-
fhlp gave birth to determination,
ami obstacles became milestones
along tbe path of progress. After n
hard, tough fight you triumphed to
win our nation's highest honor. We
are proud of you—us Americans,
we like a fighting man!"
The president thanked the De-
fender editor very much and ex-
pressed his hope to continue to
deserve the award. He quoted again
one of Ills favorite statements that
the principles for whicb we are
