#10941: NEWS WITH LOWELL THOMAS (CBS Radio), & FULTON LEWIS JR. NEWS AND COMMENTARY (WOR Radio).
1954-05-17, 4 min.
Lowell Thomas, Fulton Lewis Jr., Chief Justice Earl Warren, William Dawson
Supreme Court news with Lowell Thomas, Coast to Coast, CBS radio, followed by Fulton Lewis Jr. commentary, same day, on Supreme court justice Earl Warren unanimous ruling in the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, mandating and sanctioning that in the future segregation of public schools would be a violation of the 14th Amendment and would in the future be unconstitutional.
Decision on integration:
Lowell Thomas:
"Good evening, everybody. Today's decision by the United States Supreme Court is called the most important action of its kind since the Emancipation Proclamation. Our high tribunal today outlawed racial segregation in schools, the decision written by Chief Justice Earl Warren. It was unanimous. Several complaints against racial segregation in schools upheld today in one sweeping decision. The court ruled against the Southern theory of separate but equal facilities. The decision stating separated educational facilities are inherently unequal. The verdict is complete and sweeping. But it does not mean total change at once. The court notes the far-reaching character of its action. Also, the great variety of local conditions to be considered. So there will be further hearings on the way, the decision is to be put into effect. The details are delayed until Autumn and, it may be a year before the court rules on the methods to end segregation in schools. The reaction in the South is immediate, and its angry with new proposals to transform the public schools into a private school system there. A technical change mostly, but one which might evade constitutional questions on segregation. Already three states, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi have taken preliminary steps to turn their public-school systems over to private organizations. Meanwhile, Negro and sympathetic white groups in the South are jubilant. One organization calling a meeting of its leaders in Birmingham to decide on plans in line with today's decision."
This is a CBS radio aircheck from May 17th, 1954 (1:35), followed by Fulton Lewis Jr. reporting over WOR radio the same evening (2:00).
Fulton Lewis Jr. comments include:
Reactions from the South, no Supreme Court new terms intentions to be imposed overnight, may be a year before pragmatically implemented.
Negro democrat William Dawson from Illinois states that today's decision is the greatest and finest things that has happened since the Declaration of Independence to make a United America and to raise the status of America as the leader in the eyes of the world.
Lowell Thomas was an American radio broadcaster for both the NBC and CBS radio networks. He was employed by his sponsor, Sunoco Oil. He hosted the first television news broadcast in 1939 and the first regularly scheduled news broadcast on February 21st, 1940, over W2XBS, which is now the NBC television network, a camera simulcast of his radio broadcast.
Fulton Lewis' commentary program (presented as a "news" program, but which allowed him to choose his topic and to give his opinions in depth) ran from 7:00-7:15 p.m. Eastern time, five days a week. His audience liked Lewis' folksy broadcasting style. At his commercial peak, Lewis was heard on more than 500 radio stations and boasted a weekly audience of sixteen million listeners. His signature closing was "That's the top of the news as it looks from here." He also transitioned briefly to television in the early 1950s, but the format of his program did not appeal in that medium, so he returned to radio for the remainder of his career.

On July 2, 1957 THE NAT KING COLE SHOW became a half hour program. Many stars appeared on the show for minimum fees as personal favors to him, in an effort to bolster low ratings. But the efforts were in vain, and it would be another decade before a black entertainer could begin to make a significant dent into he mass medium of television.
Announcer: Bill Hanrahan
This entire show is dedicated to the music compositions of song writer extraordinaire, Harry Warren. Harry tells Nat how he wrote such classics as "September in the Rain," and "Lullabye of Broadway" which Nat King Cole sings.

It was patterned after Murrow's precedent setting program and employed many of the same production staff, including Murrow's former partner, Fred Friendly. During the first two years of broadcasts which included 27 one hour documentaries, all but five telecasts had either Edward R. Murrow or Harry K. Smith as writer/correspondent.
Murrow reported on eleven programs form October 27, 1959, to March 1, 1961, and Howard K. Smith reported on eighteen programs form November 11, 1959, to February 8, 1962.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW only contains an opening monologue by Johnny Carson.
