Negro Congress Seeks
Action on Race Rights
From Dept. of Justice

Washington March 10. = 1t
was learned this week that the
National Negro Congress- has
asked the Attorney Genera, of
the United States to place the
entire Department of Justice in
motion a'ound a national cam
tpaiEn to guarantee the citizen
ship rights of twelve million
Negro people of the South. This
information came to light when
Congress officials announced
that after months Of careful
planning they were bringing to
Washington or March 10 actual
victims of ku Klux Khan mobs
and pconagc farms for the pur-
pose of having them tell their
own stories to Attorney Gcn'l.
Robert II jacks IN and other
Department of Justice officials.
Another indication0 of this
effort WAS Aivcn when the ma
tonal secretary of TIE Congress
John j. Davis, in his testimony
on TIE anti-lynching bill before
the Sratc Judiciary Committee
last week introduced into the
record factual evidence of whole
sale ku KluN klan terror in a
number of Southern states.
Congress oiliciaiS however,
refused to MAKE public at this
time the names Of the witness
cs whom they wish to present
to the Attorney General. They
declared that to do so would be
ito place in jeopardy the lives
of these witnesses who come
from sections of the country
where they are in constant fear
of being beaten or killed by or
ganized Klan terrorists.
1t is known that one Of the
witnesses to be brought here
will be Will Fleming Negro farm
worker from Oglethorpe county,
Georgia who has been held i'm
peonagc on a plantation in that
county for nearly % years.
Fleming it is understood, was
forced to work for the owner Of
the plantation during this period
for an annual wage of less than
ten dollars. He escaped few
months ago and made his way
TO Chicago where his story and
those Of several hundred other
Negro farm workers held in the
same conditions of slavery be-
came known.

Senator of Wheeling, w Va. in
the opening address of his cam

into the elephant" was the only
vital issue facing Republicans in
their primaries.
candidates for Republican
nominations" he said, "are all
in agreement upon fundament-
ais, and there exists none of the
bitterness that so irrparably
separates the contestants in the
Democratic camp. Our problem
is SIMPLY whether or not we wish
to face the electorate in Novem-

our nominees the kind of candi-

Sweeney said, Il do not mean the
kind of liberal who would ami
hiliate the Supreme Court-the
last pprotector Of the rights of

kind of liberal who wants to
take away from our states and

to draw the reins of all power in

lief in the average mans right
to go his own way, his right TO
earn a fair living at productive
work, or to make a fortune if he
had it in him-and that is what
it still means to me-"
Senator Sweeney said that, as
much as any other Republican,
he deplored the extravaganza of
the New Deal, the unbalanced
budget, the scatterbrained plans
many of the working at cross
purpose with each other-and
the threat to Constitutional
democracy inherent in the en-
tire authoritarian philosophy of
the New Deal. He said they did
not fool the people but only fool

tend that we could scrap it all
and go back to 1923.

Will Build Tin Shelters

Initial conferences have been held in Washington with a view to building tin smelters in this country. Participating in the con ferences were Jesse Jones, Fed eral Loan Administrator, repre- sentatives of metal concerns, the State Department, Defense Com mission and other agencies.
 Under present plans American .nonferrous metal concerns would build shelter to treat Bolivian ores, with financial aid to come from the Federal Government. It was pointed out that British smelterS, on which this country largely depends might be thrown out of commission or made in- accessible by the war in Europe.
 This action ties in with the re- cent creation of corporation to buy 75,0G0 tons of smelted tin in the Far East approximately one years supply.
 The REC has announced the purchase of 5000 tons each of antimony and chromium in it's program to build up the nations supply of strategic and critical materials.

The Senate has taken no fur ther action on the measure and unless that group instructs its conferees to agree to the Mundt amendment the bill will die in conference with the end of this session of Congress. The Senate cannot take any vote on the Mundt amendment unless the Senate conferees take it to the floor of the Senate and thus far they have refused to do so.
 The amendment is opposed by mining interests.

The House has refused to with draw it's insistence upon the Mundt amendment to the Stream Pollution Bill. The vote came on motion by Representative Jos eph Mansfield Democrat of Texas that the House instruct its con- ferees to withdraw their insist ence to the amendment. Alter an hour of debate the motion was voted down on a roll call vote of 154 yeas to 199 nays. The Mundt amendment was sponsored by Representative Karl E. Mundt, Repub .ican of South Dakota.

The difference between todays

some of the differences. Th he
automobile-line production was rare

Today it is the regular thing. Every
thing is made by machine, and
machines can usually be adapted
to produce armament. The scien-
tist has replaced the artisan in the
shop, and uniform high quality is
now possible in vast quantity.
This always astonishes foreign
visitors to American steel plants
Gill notes. They can make just
as wood STEEL in small, hand-super-
vised quantities. But they can't
produce quality material on a mass
basis. We can. There is now no
process, no product, no quality OF
