DRYS' BARRIERS
]. FACE SENATE
J. BEER BILL
* .aa

Dry leaders of the Senate were
throwing up legislative barriers
today in preparation for q battle
to prevent legalization Of beer
and wine at the present session Of
Congress.
- Senator Borah (R) Of Idaho
served notice there would be
serious opposition to the bills
passage in the Senate. Senator
.Smoot (RJ Of Utah, another dry,
announced there would be mo
hurry" in calling the Senate
FINANCE Committee into session
to act upon the sos beer and
wine bill, just reported favorably
by the Senate Judiciary Com
pittee.
Harrison 70 Act
Senator Harrison Cd of
Mississippi and other Democratic
leaders indicated they would seek
to force a vote on the beer bill
at the present session.
Harrison said he. would not
stand for any delay in the
Finance committees consideration
3of the bill. If necessary, he
added, he will move to discharge
the committee. bringing the bill
before the Senate.
Senator Borah meanwhile de-
Tended the ban on sales to
minors, which the Senate
Judiciary Committee wrote into
the bill at his suggestion,
Paradox Seen
Wet critics charged the pro
vision was in conflict with the
rest Of the bill, on the ground
it conceded the legalized beverages
would be intoxicating while other
sections in. effect declare them
mon-intoxicating. Borah said:
"The adoption Of the pre-
I vision fOrbidding sales to
minors has nothing to do with
the issue of intOxicatiOn. II
we legalixe the sale Of beer and
] wine, IL win be sold In saloons,
Z no matter how we try to reg.
(. uIate the sale. Are we going
TO invite young boys &nd girls
from IL to 16 years into
/ saloons?
''But on this issue Of intOxica-
tiOn, / venture that II you give
: 3.O5 per cent beer to q girl Of
7 16, IL win make her drunk.
: That percentage was fixed be-
. cause q certain group Of ex-
. perts cOntended it would not

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. IS QN.S0
Motion pictures are the strangest
things. I've been here only a few
days and I've discovered that
already.
And can imagine Just what is
going to happen when I start to
work.
They'll be rushing me over to
Paramount at 8 o'clock in the
morNing to make some particu-
larly romantic scene, and how in
the world they expect me to be
romantic at 8 o'clock in the morn.
ing Is beyond me.
Wants Romantic Roles
And then, after we've worked
about 10 or IL hours, some comedy
sequence will have to be filmed,
and who can be funny after a long
days work?
But that's the picture business,
/ guess. I hope they give me
dramatic, romantic roles, because
that's what I like best.
I don't think I'll miss the au-
dience, but the work is so new,
and so different that / hardly
know what to expect.
Brought Z Trunks
I've brought seven trunks and
Is bags full of the latest style
creations with me, and I'll con-
fess that I purchased many Of
them in Paris. But from now on
I'm going to follow this Buy
American" idea. It seems sensible,
and after all, I am an American,
even though 7 have a villa at
Cap Dial, in France. I'd sell it
If I could.
They're stiN asking me when
I'm going to get married. It's
all so silly, because lots Of women
have been married oftener than
I. And, anyway, why don't they
give me a chance to get ac-
quainted-I've only been here
four days!

ization to be determined by the re-
lations of it's leadership to the white
ruling class which is responsible for
the continued enslavement of the
Negro people. These were the most
essential features Of our letter.
Your letter ignores these issues
completely and turns again to ques-
tons clearly and carefully treated by
US before. In this we can see but one
purpose. When giving publicity to
your letter you hoped to befog and
conceal the fundamental differences
between us. At the same time with
seeming openness you gave great
emphasis to trivial matters seeking
thus to present them as basic points
of discussion.
AS a working class defense organ
ization and a defender Of the rights
of oppressed minorities. it is our his
tore task to go ever deeper to the
real masses drawing them into the
struggle on the basis of a correct
program for the defense of their con-
stitutional rights and against nation
al oppression, at the same time des-
troying your pernicious influence
among them and as well among the
middle classes. These letters afford
US this opportunity to expose you.
We must therefore admit that you
are correct when you say they are
written for publicity purposes.
With the aim in view of reaching
these broader masses, we will discuss
again the points we so carefully
covered before. We will also again
answer the minor issues you have
sought to draw like red behring's
across the trail of the vital issues.
Why have you refused to discuss
these issues we raised which are so
vital to the Negro masses and their
white sympathizers?
u Explain the presence on your
executive board and leading commit
tees of men who have been parties to
murderous attacks upon white and
Negro workers, who have been and
still are actively engaged in form
ulating the jim crow policy of the
ruling class and who have rallied to
the defense of lynchers. For example:
al FRANK MURPHY, former
Mayor of Detroit who was party to
the murderous police attacks upon
starving white and Negro workers be-
fore the Dearborn plant Of Henry
Ford in April, 1881.

lynchings and jim crowism Of which
they were the victims, but to accept
without protest the jim crew war
program Of the government under the
pretext that out of war would come
full democracy for Negroes.
d. CLARENCE BARROW, who
not only come to the defense of the
Massie family Of lynchers in Homo
lulu. but as well appealed to the bas-
est race national prejudices in his
conduct of the trial;
"This we contend proves the in
separable relationship of your lead
ership with the enemies of the Negro
masses. 1t is the brand-mark of your
betrayal of the Negro masses.
2 Explain your attempts to re-
strict the activities of the masses a.
gainst national oppression and for
eual rights to legal procedure. Such
a divorcing Of positive mass action
from legal action results in an accep-
lance of national oppression and in
equality. The truth of this is obvious,
as a analysis of your victories" in
the Louisville Segregation Ease and
the Texas Democratic Primary case,
etc., so clearly shows.
The American courts of "justice,"
including the United States Supreme
Court, are one TO the main pillars of
the whole system of chain gang slav-
cry, contract labor, disfranchisement,
devt slavery, peonage, etc. The ac-
ceptance of the decisions of the rul-
ing class courts becomes at once an
acceptance of the system. Your pro-
gram thereby makes you agents of
the ruling class among the Negro
masses. For your betrayals you re-
ceive such crumbs from the table of
the ruling class as a special assistant
attorney ~generalship for a Robert L.
Wann, or other concessions for the
Negro bourgeoisie for whom you
speak.
81 Disprove the fact that your
socalled victories in the courts; i. e.,
Louisville Segregation case, Texas
Democratic Primary case, ETC., are
but empty scraps of paper granted in.
order to strengthen your position
among the masses. They have not
materially advanced the position of
the Negro masses but in creating new
and sustaining old illusions of a
illegal way out" they have strength
ened the hands Of the o~ppressors. Sc
gregation is still the accepted custom
in Louisvill. The Negro masses can
not vote in Texas. Where are your
victories?
Is it not true that your policy
Of collaboration with the ruling class
has not organized the masses for
struggle but disarms and demobilizes
them? After twenty three years Of
the advancement of colored people"
by the leadership Of your organiza-
ton, their position is infinitely worse

~inseparable part Of the liberation
struggles of the Negro masses a.
gainst jim crowism, lynching, ETC.,
and for the enforcement of the 18th,
14th, and 18th amendments to the
United States Constitution"
The letter answer categorically the
Associations question of whether the
l l.. d. wants them to make public
the earlier letters concerning the N.
A A. C. P. return to the case: "This
we demand Of you and you may rest
assured that we will make them pub
lie. Let the masses know the real
facts"
"Again we call upon thee rank and
file within the branches of your or
~ganization to %enounce this program
Of betrayal hat you have formulated,
the letter says.
again we demand that you cease
your attempt to block the further
development of that mass defense
which alone has thus far saved the
lives Of the Scottsboro boys. We shall
insist upon the position taken by us.
We do not wish to continue to reiter-
ate it in a further succession of let
tiers. We repeat our demand that you
turn over the funds which you col
lected for Scottsboro defense and
which you did not solicit on the basis
that it would be used for legal action
only, to the /. L. D., the only organ
ization authorized to defend the
Scottsboro boys"
In regard to another question re-
peatedly asked by the N. A. A. c..
p, though answered in many pre-
vious statements that I. l.. D. ans
wers that:
1--WE herewith very definitely and
categorically state again that we by
no means demand that they who sin
cerely desire to aid in the defense of
the innocent Scottsboro boys should
here and now give up their political
or economic views or modify them.
W. want them however to realize
this profound truth. There has been
no case in history when an oppressor
eIacz or on annroccar pok.or ax,ar
created court in which to give men,
bers of the oppressed class or the
oppressed nation justice. The courts
Of an oppressor class or nation are
created to aid in preserving its exist
ence. Justice is not abstract; it is a
concrete expression of the interests
of those who hand it down.
1.-THE lynchers' court prepared to
lynch these innocent boys on June
10, 1881. Our campaign of mass pro-
test and agitation stopped it. Your
leadership after retaining a Ku Klux
Khan lawyer (Roddy) had left the
boys to the tender mercies Of that
court. Again and again the lynchers'
court set a day for the legal lynch
ing but the magnificent protest
movement, organized and led by us,
reaching ever wider masses, thus ac-
quired greater political significance,
and he lynchers' hands were stayed.
In joining with US in defense of these
boys and in the larger issues of which
this defense is an inseparable part,
we ask no one to Subscribe into the
philosophy and tactics of the I. L..
p We ask only that those who have
voluntarily agreed to cooperate with
the I. L. d. with us any
plan endorsed by the lynchers."
Your letter of July 18th is sup
posely a reply to ours Of June 30th.
In reality it answered nothing. The
fundamental issues we raised brought

The Dayton Daily News says edi-
torially: THE National Commission to
Advance American Art asks Postmaster
General Farley to help further its pur-
pose by issuing postage stamps in COM
memoration of great American artists.
This is the quickest and most effective
way it says, not only to lamiliarize the
country with the names and achieve
ments of American artists, but to
quicken appreciation Of the fine arts
generally Our people. individually
and as a Nation laments the resolu-
ton, not only ignore our artists and
their work but give preference to 9TH
ers that are often not their equal. In
all countries where there Is q tradition
Of great art 1t contends. governments
have fostered T. cause with the people.
There seems to be no reason why
the Post once Department should not
adopt the suggestion. While one doubts
that postage stamps would excite the
interest of those thus far unmoved by
the art itself. there have been special
issues for almost everything else. and
a few miniatures Of masterpieces to
break the monotony Of presidential por-
traits and anniversary designs would
not be amiss.
"Yet some discretion in the choice Of
subjects would be important. A few
years ago, observing the centennial OF
the death Of the Spanish master, Goya,
that country issued special set OF
commemorative stamps bearing repro
ductions of his best canvases. Among
them was a nude about which thousands
of persons protested to the International
Postal Union. Many urged action
against the Spanish postal department
on the ground that it was sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. Yet
even Mr.. Sumner and his New York
Society for the Suppression Of Vice
found that nothing could be done
about it. While the American masters
generally have been more staid in their
choice Of subjects than the Latin, Mr..
Farley should be forewarned of COM
plications which may arise when pos
tage stamp art becomes too untram-
meled."
