continued talking leisurely against
the antl-lynching measure Senator
Bailey, Democrat, of North Carolina
carried the fight for the opposition
today, and many others. including
Senator Dixie Bibb Graves, Democrat,
Of Alabama, had speeches ready
Even foes Of the lynching bill fore
cast it would pass eventually. but
they sought to hold it up as long as
possible.
House Hears Speeches.
While the Senate was talking about
this issue, the House was hearing
miscellaneous speeches. The result
was continuation Of the do-nothing
habits and the Democratic pickering
Of last session.
The underlying cause was not the
Presidents program. however. as it
was during the last session, but the
political nature of the anti-lynching
bill. Observers said this measure,
which has been pending in Congress
in one form or another for a generation,
has more political potentialities than
any other current bill.
1t always has created Democratic
deadlock. because it is political sugar
in the North, particularly in States
where Negroes hold the balance Of
power, and political poison in the
South.
When the session began, the measure
held key spot on the Senate calendar
by virtue of an agreement reached in
August under the pressure of a ses-
sion wind-up, Its friends, backed by
about two-thirds of the Senate, refused
to give up its preferred status
Administration leaders, convinced
they could not dislodge the bill from
Its position, decided their best move
was to call it up and get it out Of the
way.
Van Nuys and Clark Lead.
Administration supporters are on
both sides in the current deadlock. So
are its critics. Leaders in the CAM
paign to enact the anti-lynching bill
include Senator'S Van Nuys, Democrat,
of Indiana and Clark, Democrat, Of
Missouri, who were prominent in fight
ing the Presidents court bill last sum-
mer.
Senators Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas and Bailey. Democrat, of North
Carolina, who have led of the attack
on the bill. sided with Senators Clark
and Van Nuys in the court fight.
Because the anti-lynching bill is an
ISSUE apart from everything else, poll
ticians are waiting to see what hap
pens on other legislation before de-
Gliding to what extent the democratic
split OF last session continues.
Senator Bailey made plain that he
had no hope of stopping the bill. It is
sure to pass in January or February.

coveries and knew how to persuade men to
utilize them. This was indicated during an
anti-tuberculosis campaign he directed in
a mining district when he gained the fnan-
cial support of the mine operators by
showing them how this disease increased
their costly labor turnover.
Fifteen years in fourteen states he kept
quietly at such work - but so effectively
that when the Governor of New York
asked the Service to lend him its best man
to head his State Health Department, DR..
Parran was chosen. This was to make
Franklin D. Roosevelt so familiar with his
work that when Governor Roosevelt be-
came President Roosevelt, he would name
him Surgeon General of the Service. But
this, DR.. Parran would say, was merely an
accident of fortune an accident that
brought him great opportunity.
He could now wage national campaign
against syphilis. Having studied its cause
and cure he believed that if people once
knew these, it could be eradicated. In his
new position he could tell them. This he
set out to do, well knowing that he must
challenge social taboo against the very
mention of the disease. Yet he went
straight to the medical profession and told
the doctors it was their duty to remove the
ban of professional secrecy under which
syphilis had flourished. He persuaded an
editor to let him write an article telling the
truth about the disease He attacked 1t on
the public platform and demanded that 1t
be frankly diagnosed and treated.
Such courage was news. His facts were
startling. And their presentation by slen-
der man, his black hair prematureiy
streaked with grey, who attacked this
social Goliath with the sure aim OF a
young David, was effective. Courage people
always admire; when it is linked to zeal
for the welfare of others it is irresistible.
Thomas Parran has both the scientists
knowledge and the promoters skill IN
using it. But many men have one or the
other, and a few have both. DR.. Parran
has, in addition, self-effacing commit
ment to cause. 1t is this which makes his
story stand with those great success stores
where personal triumph is only BY
product of far greater victory.

U 4 AHEN man enters the Public
Health Service as raw re-
wv cruit and twenty one years
later is named its chief, one
smells success story. When within year
he is recognized throughout the country
as great public benefactor one suspects
that this mans recipe for success is worth
knowing.
But behold paradox! For the success
which DR.. Thomas Parran, Jr.. Surgeon
General of the United States Public Health
Service, sought was not that of Thomas
Parran, and the way he reached his own
success was to run from it.
As young medical graduate his future
seemed ready-made. He had practice
awaiting him with his physician father in a
home where his people had lived since the
Sixteen Hundreds. But, turning his back
on it, he entered the then small Public
Health Service to work in stuffy labora-
tory.
Almost at once he was called from the
laboratory and sent into field work. Oppof-
tumity for advancement was greater in the
field, but he knew only disappointment
that he could no longer work with his own
hands at making scientific discoveries.
Nor did he consider the matter Of ad-
vancement When an influenza epidemic
broke out among civilians he ignored the
red tape of officialdom and conmandeered
a car of War Department supplies - max
ing explanations afterwards, with reper-
cussions that might have been expected to
cut short any bright career. But DR.. Par
ran was not thinking of career.
When the repercussions lapsed into a
dead Office file, he went on working at the
problems that interested him far more than
his own future: How to bring sanitation to
rural communities; how to stamp out
tuberculosis; how to stop the Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever, and how to re-
move the most dread disease, syphilis,
whose ravages he saw filling hospitals and
insane asylums.
''If," as he puts it, Il was not to make
discoveries that would help achieve these
goals, l could at least promote the dis
coveries of others" This became his pur-
pose. He had knowledge of these dis
