House Votes 179 to SO to Take Up

BY a vote of 17s to 80, the House
again today refused to take up the
Clark "Jim Crow" bill. which probably

sentative Clark of Florida, Gregg of
Texas, Caraway of Arkansas, Byrnes of
South Carolina and others urging a
full attendance in the House today to
cast a vote against going into commit
tee of the whole to take up the forth
fcations bill.
The letter stated that this day is Dis
trict day and that the only matter to
be presented would be the Jim Grow"
bill The letter was sent out to give
members full understanding of the
case.
AS soon as Chairman Sherley. In
charge of the Notifications bill. moved
to go into committee of the whole to
take up his bill. Chairman Johnson of
the District committee called for
roll call vote. which resulted in taking
up the appropriation bill and setting
aside District day.
