Senator's attitude toward the bill,
and in which the Senator is informed
that the women ''stand solidly back
Of the Anti-Lynching Bill which is
before Congress is this session. 2
The Senator is told, also, that Your
recent talk against the measure was
a great disappointment to U.S. This
is from the great Protestant feder-
alton of churches.
On the Catholic side we note an
editorial in the December issue of
the Interracial Review, entitled "The
Last Round-Up," adds this inspiring
comment: "Catholic leaders and the
Catholic press OF the country, al.
ready on record as favorable to the
present Federal Anti-Lynching Bill,
will have added reasons for urging
the enactment Of the present bill -
because Of the enemies it has made.
1.-THE Klan, the Night Riders, the
Black Legion and the forces of racial
and religious prejudice are mill
family opposed to a Federal Anti
Lynching law. These forces are kith
and kin of the lynchers and they are
the declared enemies Of the Church
and the antagonists of Catholic ideas
and principles. We believe that the
Catholic press of America should be
articulate and fortnight at this
juncture, and once again draw the
lines between the forces of preju--
dice, hatred, mob violence and
psuedo-liberalism on the one hand,
and the Catholic principles in regard
to religious and racial tolerance, the
preservation of law and order, and
the sanctity of human life, and again
declare that; Lynching must goH'

John Jaster, Jr Director Of Higl.ays has pre-
pared the accompanying map Of the State Of OHIO,
which is known as the Snow and Ice Priority Map.
It first prepared two years ago under his
vision and since that time has been perfected such
a point that any route viii be cleared and sanded
over its entire length simultaneously, atho it may
extend over several counties from one division of
the State into another. The numbers shown in cir
cles, and the priority schedule in the lower left give
the relative order in which the roads will be cleared
and sanded in any county The more important
highways on the State System are shown in heavy
black lines and are naturally given first attention;
but all State Roads will be cleared promptly as
possible.

Warning 10 WPA

Warning 70 WPA
We note with amazement that the
head Office Of the WPA in Washing
ton apparently accepted without so
much as second thought the sugar.
coated report Of the Louisiana State
WPA Administrator that colored
citizens so unfortunately situated as
to be on relief, volunteered to 60
into the canebrake for. emergency
work at the afabulous' price of
s1.50 per day and keep" The
keep" of course, is such as may be
afforded where no humans, especi--
ally in large numbers, normally live.
The distressing thing about this
situation is that the Washington au--
thorities attempted to palm it off to
the press even the Negro pressas
the true story of the battle to save
the rich Louisiana planters their
$6,000,000 cane crop.
The truth Of the matter came to
Night in colored paper in New
Orleans--the Louisiana Weekly. 1t
was not volunteer" proposition,
as the Washington press release
stated, but "Cut Cane or Starveo
edict, which was the title of the
Louisiana Weekly editorial.
We wish to warn the Washington
administrators of the WPA that they
had better make little better nse
Of their official Negro entourage If
they are really concerned about the
future of their country. Negroes, in
this day and time, will not continue
to meekly submit to an officialdom
which subjects them to discrimina-
tory labor treatment on the one hand,
and attempts to cover it up by
broadcasting an official report
that all is well on the other.

 Becomes "Too Exclusive"
 Such social success is not without its reverse English. A fair number of society reporters have turned sour on her. They say that in the beginning, she used to be easy of access and eager to tell them what they wanted to know. But now, they { y, more often than not some ser- want comes down and tells them with the superciliousness only an English fiunkey can achieve:
 Madame cannot be bothered" Which probably explains the acid comment of one writer in 6 journal taken mainly by socialites and dentists, the later for theil waiting rooms:

His choice proved a happy one. Players who opened with forcing bid of two found they had only deferred the day of decision. If they tried for an no trump slam, 1t was beaten by 6 spade opening, through the major tenace, as e club trick had to be surrendered.
 Others opened with variety of no trump bids, two, three and four. In each case these bids were passed, as North's hand was too weak to make any response.
 South, confronted with an unu- sual situation, disobeyed the rules and rule makers. His bid was a gam ble. but 1t paid him rich dividends, and was, I think. his best bid on the hand. admitting that he might have cashed no more than his nine tricks, but he was sure not to be doubled, and the chance to fulfill his contract was very good.

 This was the bid made by one player in an eight-table duplicate in New York. He made 1t because he realized that there was no re- sponse his partner could be expected to make that would help him any in determining whether to play for a game-which could be laid down or try for the siam. which might be beaten.
