the action Of Montgomery county
will cause other counties to equalize
the salaries and thus bring bigger
checks to Negro teachers.

after hearing the argument, refused

The round-robin demands action
on the anti-lynching bill before ad
journment and in effect serves notice
that the signers will oppose adjourn
ment until q vote is had on the anti
lynching bill.
Il is expected that fifty or sixty
signers will be secured for this docu-
ment.
In a hectic week OF swift move
naent back and forth in the Senate
on pending legislation, the anti
iynching bill jumped suddenly to the
front when Senator Royal s. Cope
land, of New York, moved to attach
1t as an amendment to the length
offreigat-train bill. Il Is believed
that Senator Copeland had two
motives for this entirely unexpected
move. One was to try to defeat the
freight-train bill, which ,,,e is OPP
posing; and the other was to make
bid for the support of Negro voters
in his contemplated race for Mayor
Of New York City Senator Cope
land long has favored the anti
lynching bill.
Senator Copeland's action, which
was his own idea, was not a popu-
lar one since the freight-train bill
was backed by the four railway
brotherhoods.
The anti-lynching bill was inject
ed into White House press confer
ence on Tuesday when reporter
asked the President whether the anti
lynching bill would be among the
bills called up before adjournment.
The President is said to have not
made direct answer, but to have
stated merely that he favored an
anti-lynching bill
When move to attach the anti
lynching bill as an amendment was
voted down 41-34, Senator Cope
land announced his intention to try
to attach the anti-lynching bill to
the wages and hours bill. This
brought on conference between
Senators Wagner, Copeland and Van
Nuys Wednesday noon and it was de-
cided then not to use the rider meth
cd except as a very last resort.
It was felt that the anti--lynchine
bill ought to go through and be test
ed on it's merits and not be forcee
through by the slick method oi
attaching it as an amendment. 4
was felt that he ccfnty is entitled
to record vote on this legislation.
In an exchange Of remarks in thu

Wagner of New York requested per

F. D. R. Still In Drivers Seat

The confirmation of Senator Hugo L. Black as associate justice of the United States Supreme Court by the overwhelm- ing vote of 63 to 16 yesterday by the Senate is conclusive proof of the fact that Franklin Delano Roosevelt Is still in the saddle. Rumblings of opposition the last few days were quickly dispelled when the final showdown came. The size of the Black majority makes that opinion conclusive.
 However, snap analysis of yesterdays return to form in the vote on Senator Black does not indicate as much an endorsement for the senator from Ala bama as a vindication of MT. Roosevelt. MT. Black would have had plenty of op- position under less suspicious circunl- stances. But in the present instance too many cross-currents and qualifications entered into matter of his selection. Take, for instance, Connecticuts own senior senator, Augustine Lonergan, who voted favorably, under different circumstances we sincerely doubt If he would have sup ported the fiery southerner. We think MT. Lonergan played ball with the pres' ident for the presidents sake and the good of party harmony.
 There is no doubt but what the ap- pointment of Senator Black to the Supreme Court bench Is most diSappoint- ing to a good majority of people. He was never dreamed of as possibility until the Presidents sudden determination to "get even" with some of the southern recalcitrants in the senate. In fact, MT. Black was probably the most surprised of anyone at his nomination. Yet he was quick to make the most of 1t even If 1t was the farthest thing from his fondest expectations. Thus 1t is that political cross currents once more have entered into the disposl- ton of an importan decision in the di- recting of the nations destiny. It is too be deeply regretted that such is the case. It probably would never have happened If Senator Robinson had lived, which IS neither here nor there now that the die is cast. Let us hope, however, even under such an inauspicious start that eventually things will work out for the best. It IS asking for a lot, but the nations only hope under existing circumstances.

Lots of Water

One of the curious little afterthoughtS concerned with the sailing race for the Americas cup relates to the calm aSsur- ance of a good many of the commenta- tors that almost nobody in America knew anything about sailing. They seemed to feel that 1t was hardly worth while to explain about Genoa jbs and gybing around pylonS when practically no one ifl the country could pasSibly knew what they were talking about.
 One good look at the map of the United States ought to dispel that illusion. There are thousands of miles of coast line with real sailing ships still going out on buSi- ness from every good harbor. In every little bay and inlet kids are sailing boats. Cats and sloops and ketch-rigged yawlS dot all the summer blue. There are hun. dreds of rivers on which sails zg-zag ceaselessly from spring to fall. The il- land lakes are without number. On almost every one of them where there isn't a conventional Sailboat there iS q dory being sailed with an old bedquilt on e clotheSpole or 6 Skiff being pulled around miraculouSly by an old unbrel- 1a. And all the yacht clubs, which for time seemed to be going over ex- clusively to motorboatS, now report return of sail.
 It is quite true that there are more folks who know when to throw out the pitcher and why Harvard didn't get the pigskin from Yale at the right second than the ones who know the technical terms of the sailing craft. But there Is lot of water in and around this glorious land. And more seafarin' folk who know the difference between c sheet and c yard, between jib and gybe than the land. lubber might believe.

Any Old Rone.2

old-timers may remember the days when the bottles and bones" man came around with his wagon, collecting these precious things hoarded by small boys, paying as much as a cent apiece for the bottles and cent pound for the bones. The bottles were used again, or melted and reblown, and the bones went into glue and fertilizer Rags, too, were saved and sold. And old iron-if it wasn't railroad iron.
 Well, German families today are in- structed by their government to collect, and save in separate containers, rags, bot ties, bones, tin cans, toothpaste tubes and various articles of like nature. There is no "old bones man," but an official col. lector comes in truck to collect them. His job is simplified by providing boxes in drug stores and railway stations for peo- pie to deposit the stuff Apparently the donors don't get anything for it except a sense of doing their patriotic duty.
 To such wartime devices the Germans ', have come again, in their governments frenzied preparations for new war and the consequent exhaustion of materials. There is one notable exception. It is announced that the people needn't save and turn in their old razor blades. It takes too many of them to make gun or a shell.

Clifford B. Wilson, former lieutenant governor and also mayor of Bridgeport, returns to the political wars with a blast at the newcomers in the republican party. He was quite irate when he made a speech down in Bridgeport the other day. He spoke about the party having to seek candidates of other political persua. sion for endorsement and he used the ex- pression, "upstarts" to characterize the new regime in g.o,p. circles. Whether this is a drive on MT. Wilson's part to get back in harness or just frank expression of opinion, we don't know, but 1t will be repeated here and there in the state.
