Seeking economic justice" for
the South, a group Of Dixie con-
greSsmen, backed by administra-
tive experts familiar with prob
lens below the Mason and Dixon
line, today launched broad move
ment to restore the South to its
predepreSsion prosperity.
The congressional group, repre-
senting nine States, will put its
shoulder behind legislation aimed
at:
l. Returning Southern farm
youth to the land and generally
increasing diversified agricultural
production.
2. Raising the purchasing pow
er of the Southern wage Garner
by increased wage scales on a
parity with the industrial East.
Two Bills Pushed
The immediate objective will be
to push enactment of the Bank
head tenant farm act and the
$425, 100000 rural identification
program, approved by the Senate
and awaiting House action.
The Bankhead act provides for
Government loans to enable
Share-cropperS and tenant farm
erS who live on a hand-to
mouth basis to purchase their
farms and go into business for
themselves. The rural electrifica-
ton program would bring light,
the radio and electfAcal house
hold and farm labor-saving devices
to their homeSteads.
Members of Congress and Gov
ernment administrative officials
who hail from Dixie have held two
meetings to perfect plans for the
Southern-aid movement. A re-
gional meeting in conjunction with
the Southern Policy Association, a
group of Dixie civic leaders, will be
held in Atlanta in May.
