Sunday at its second forum held
in the auditorium of the Urban
League Community Center, DR..
Walter Siders, executive secretary
and Prof. J. Arthur Nelson. editor

facts declared to a large school con
scious audience were as follows:
1. That students taking the
course in public speaking are only
allowed five minutes a week for
practice.

nurses in the school system.

impending Passage Of the Farm Bill
Restores Anti. Lynch Bi
TO Senate Calendar

Washington, Dec. 3--Decision
was made here today by Senate
leaders to press for enactment of
a temporary crop control bill to
be amended in the regular session
and thereby effect passage of the
farm bill. This course has been de-
cided upon because winter wheat
has already been planted In many
western states, and lengthy debate
on a farm bill might conceivably
postpone definite action by Con.
gress until a date too late to ap-
ply to crops already planted.
Should this plan succeed, the
Wagner-Van Nuys-Gavagan anti
lynching bill will again be taken up
by the Senate as required by the
special order voted by the Senate
last August 18th. When the bill is
taken up upon conclusion of con-
sideration of The farm bill it will
not have to combat the motion TO
consider it, but will automatically
become the unfinished business of
the Senate which it must remain
until disposed of. Supporters of the
anri-lynching bill led by Senators
