Children In Court
By Judge Malcolm Hatfield


Following a hearing In juvenile
court this week, two groups of
parents learned to their amaze
ment that they themselves were
partly responsible for their child
rem being disdbedient.
A careful investigation by a
court officer previous 10 the hear
ing revealed the following:
The parents of the first child
continually biokered with each
ether over the type of discipline 10
be administered. If the father
gave a command, the mother In
yariably countermanded it and
took the side of the child.
The parents of the second child
frequently threatened the young
ster with a whipping but never
carried out their threats. On sever
al occasions they sent their daugh-
ter to go to bed because she mis-
behaved when guests were present.
After the visitors departed, they
contradicted themselves and per-
nitted her to get up.
So long as parents countermand
their own orders or fail to carry
out a warning they can expect dis
obedience. When children do not
learn obedience in the home, there
is very little the school can do to
correct them. Eventually they are
brought into court and must pay
the penalty for the failure of their
parents to teach them obedience.

Negro Vote Dominant Factor

Negro Vote Dominant Factor
At no time in recent years has
the Negro vote been so dominant
in the minds of members of the
Senate due to the emphasis by the
filibusterers upon the charge that
supporters of the bill are advocat-
ing it solely because of fear of re-
prisals from Negro voters. This
charge is bitterly resented by
many of the senators who are sup
porting the bill because they hon
estly oppose lynching. But constant
repetition of the charge has kept
alive and made more potent than
ever before the Importance of the
Negro vote in state and national
elections. This realization was in
creased during the flibuster by
publication of a syndicated article
by General Hugh S. Johnson, which
was used as the basis of an attack
on the bill by Senator Charles o.
Andrews of Florida and in which
General johnson pointed out that
the Negro vote in certain pivotal
states is NOW large enough to
swing any close election.......and
some of those states are Large en-
ough to be necessary in any ma
tional election General Johnson's
charge that an anti lynching bill is
part of a movement to ~centralize
authority in Washington for the
purpose of forming a federal die
tatorship based on discontenbs of
all kinds" has created bitter re-
sentiment here among members of
the Senate, who are supporting the
anti-lynching bill and throughout
the country.
Upon conclusion of the farm bill,
it is reported here that attempts
will be made to call up some other
bill other than the antllynching
bill despite the explicit wording Of
the special order making the Wag-
ner-Van Mugs bill the first order
Of the Senate after the farm bill.
It is not believed here that these
efforts viii succeed particularly be-
cause Senator Aben w. Barley,
majority leader of the Senate, has
unequivocally and repeatedly SER
we'd notice upon the Senate that it
must vote upon the anti-lynching
bill in accordance with the Sen
ate's special order. But kilograms,
letters, and personal calls upon
senators urging them to stand
firm against a flibuster and to
oppose any and all efforts to post
pone action upon or to emasculate
the bill is of utmost Importance.
Appreciation should also be ex-
pressed to those senator's who are
fighting for the bill. Tremendous
pressure will be brought upon some
meml ers of the Senate to abandon
effort to get a vote on the bill and
to vote to displace the bill with
other measures. Words from "back
home against such a course will
be most helpful in causing them to
resist such pressure.

Lynching is a peculiar Amer

where else among civilized or
semieivilized people. Its preva
lence is not due primarily ii
the presence of a large number
of Negroes in one section of
the country. In Brazil and in
hte West Indies The Negro con
tingent forms a larger part of
the general population than in
the United )SiateS. They also
represent a lower status of ed

The most vicious attacks of the

Senator Connally seized upon the
occasion to rise and express re-

picked up a book with a black

For fifty years we have quib

to be utterly ineffective to deal
with lynehing, as with human
slavery and kidnapping. When
the blood of thousands of vie

little time or patience for qulb

Housing reform isn't a new social phenomenon. Il goAA
back to the code of Hammurabi written in 1000 B. C. for It's
earliest consideration. In about 1000 B. C. China became
housing conscious. Therefore we see that the problem is not
new, but the modern emphasis is somewhat new.
