Youngest Nieman Fellow Takes Over Charlotte, N. C., 'News'

Harry Ashmore, a newsman who made history in 1941 as the youngest Nieman Fellow ever given a fellowship, has recently taken over the editorship of the Charlotte, North Carolina, "News."

After coming here at the age of 25 for his Nieman year, Ashmore entered the Army, emerging as a lieutenant-colonel. When the "News" was bought last year by Thomas L. Robinson '26, he became associate editor, and since then has been a leader in liberal movements in the south.
