FRESH ASSAULT
ASKS COURT TO
RULE ON BLACK

WASHINGTON, Nov. II (UP) =
Robert Gray Taylor, Media, Pa,
today asked the supreme court to
consider a new petition seeking a
sweeping challenge to eligibility of
Associate Justice Hugo L. Black
that the court might settle "once
and for all" Blacks right to sit on
the bench.
Taylor filed the documents with
the tribunal on behalf of himself
and Elizabeth L. Seymour, Sala-
manca, N. Y. A previous petition
filed by the some pair was denied
Monday.
Taylor's documents raised sew
eral questions about Blacks eligi-
bility not previously brought before
the tribunal.
Included among these was the
question whether Blacks senate
confirmation had been secured
under duress from anyone in or
under the executive branch of the
federal government, or under the
promise of patronage, relief or
public works grants"

the program could be enacted by

In the senate, a southern bloc
that had planned -hearted
obstructionist campaign against the
anti-lynching bill came to life with
a filibuster that may prevent a
vote until the farm bill is ready
for debate a week or ten days hence.
The crop measure will displace the
anti-lynch bill.
In the house, the leadership was
hard pressed by Republican and
Democratic outburst that broke out
because the farm legislation-prime
objective of the special session
was not ready for debate. Rep.
Ralph E. Church, R. ILL.,, led the
controversy and demanded that
the house act on revision of the
undistributed profits tax while
awaiting the farm measure.
The most serious problem OF the
leaders was to prevent the develop
ment of a run away" spirit that
might later menace both the farm
and labor legislation.
The failure of both house and
senate committees to have the
crop control measures ready gave
congressmen-alrea eager to dis

the option of choosing between two

Chairman Fred M Vinson, D,

The plan would, in effect:

Annual Migration From
North for Harvest
Under Way

/ Hundreds of agricultural
laborers are swarming into
Imperial Valley this week
on their annual migration
from northern areas for the
winter harvest season in this des-
ert area.
The influx is estimated to have
boosted the Filipino population to
5000 men. White, Mexican, and
Negro workers are estimated to
number between 1890 and 2,4OO
men and women. The number roll
ing in during the last few days has
outnumbered demand by several
hundred persons.
Incoming workers include the
whites and Mexicans who strip
the. fields of peas and the Filipinos
who work some in the peas but
devote most of their numbers to
other winter crops.

of clothing and household equip

growers and the usual "squatters"
camps are filling up rapidly, north

This group, said Chan Livingston

vice, includes those who usually
come south to harvest the peas.
Many registered at the employment
service while others went directly
to the growers for whom they al
ways work, Livingston said
Warm weather and a somewhat
discouraging market have slowed
the pea harvest. This caused many
