In the G. B. Dealey days of the Dallas Morning News, until his death in 1946, the Editorial policies of the paper might be considered ‘conservative’, but on occasion they would lean to the more Liberal side. A Professor Paul F. Boller, Jr. did a study on the Morning News editorial position in the mid 1940’s, which concluded that the Morning News since the 1930’s was a mildly New Deal, pro-Russian newspaper that favored U. S. recognition of the Russian government. During G. B. Dealey’s stewardship in the late 1930’s, the News had defended freedom of the press for the Daily Worker, criticized the Hearst Press’ drive against academic freedoms, called Mayor Frank Hague ‘un-American’ and ‘Hitleristic’ for suppressing left-wing speakers in Jersey City, and dismissed an inquiry by the Texas legislature into alleged Communism at the University of Texas as a needless investigation. It criticized “Red Hunters” in 1936, and labeled the various “Red Scares”, created by patriotic organizations, a racket to boost donations from thousands of “frightened suckers”. In fact, G. B. Dealey’s support of many ‘Liberal’ and ‘Social’ causes was often frowned upon by the Dallas Citizens’ Council.
