His early history is vague but
legend says that after he left the
sea he fell in love with a Creole
girl who refused his hand because
she was without a dowry. Another
version says the girl died before he
had accumulated enough money to
support her.
At any event, Poydras set ASIA
100000 in his will to solve the fl
nancial difficulties of young couples
who wanted to unite.
Poydras also endowed L%ouisiana's
first public school, charity hospital
and other institutions, and served
the state in congress. He turned in
later years to writing poetry as an
outlet for his romantic nature.
Any girl living in the parish for
five years may apply for a share in
the dowry fund, shares varying with
t. number Of applicants. The
amount this years lucky dozen
girls will get is as yet undetermined
because the funds earnings still are
coming in. Last year 20 brides split
up approximately $4,000.
The usual number of applicants
is around 20, but there have been
years when only 2 or 3 girls got
the entire proceeds. Once there was
but one applicant.

Senate, where its fate depended
largely on how quickly Congress ad-
journS.
House approval, on voice vote,
followed word from Mr.. Roosevelt
that he wished the measure passed
with "as little delay as possible. :"
The President added, in a letter
to Representative SABBATH, Democrat,
of Illinois that he was informed
that the opinion is entertained in
some quarters that its enactment
might serve to curb certain fifth
column activities"
However, Senate Majority Leader
Barkley said the legislation would
have to await its turn on the Sem
ate legislative calendar. He indi-
Gated the code would not be per-
mitted to interfere with the Demo-
cratic leadership's plan to adjourn
Congress by October /.
The legislation, which would set
up new code of naturalization laws,
would withdraw United States citi-
zenship from thousands of persons
living abroad.
1t also would expatriate those
citizens who serve in foreign army
whether or not they take a foreign
oath of allegiance, those who ac-
cept certain civil offices with for
eign governments and those who
vote in foreign elections, such as
the German worldwide plebiscites.
Advocacy of the overthrow of the
United States Government or par
ticipation of any kind in such q
movement would make an alien in
eligible to citizenship, as would sa-
botage. Representative Rees, Re-
publican. of Kansas expressed the
view that the new eligibility require
ments would block Communists,

And all questions Of detail or over
tapping jurisdiction or points Of
friction hitherto engendered can be
disposed Of through machinery set
up within the united federation

IN all sincerity as a way out. And
as an evidence Of my own good
faith I will assure Mr.. William

date In that convention for any Of
f1ce In the united organization.
There Is q practical plan in all sim
-plicity with no sinister attachments
and an offer to eliminate Mr..
Green's greatest agony, myself.
Now let us see what will happen
with that proposition and let us see
whether the Executive Council with
Mr.. Green now in Miami will accept
1t or whether they will pick flaws In
1t and say that Mr.. Lewis has an
ulterior motive. You know that
search for Interior motives Is the
most futile pursuit in the world. No
one ever caught one.
And I wonder If President Roose-
welt, who is so anxious to give Mr..
Green my answer on the other pro-
posal, will favor me equally as we'll
now by undertaking to get Mr..
Green's answer to my proposal.
My friends, my thanks and ap-
probation for listening to me with
all the attention that you have given
me. You have heartened me greatly
oy your interest. You have made
my visit down here worth while. I
only hope that in some way I have
encouraged you to carry on and keep
fighting and keep demanding your
own rights.
You are serving not only your
selves by your work, your attitude,
your voices, and your efforts, YOU

American similarly siuated like your

this afternoon formula that will

In Washington, D. Cone conven-
ton on each side of the aisle-that
the question to be voted on by that

Resolved, That the Congress Of

charters of aff1liation be granted by
the American Federation to each
unit of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, and that. further. all
questions of detail in the relation
ship of the two organizations hith-
erto existing shall be taken up for
later consideration in such fashion
as the joint convention may decide.
Just that!

war and have labor peace in America
