WASHINGTON, Aug. Is CAMP There
appears to be little hope for passage
of the perennial anti lynching bill this
session. Senator Alben w. Barley,
democratic senate leader is reported to
have told friends that there was not a
chance in the world to pass the measure
unless cloture was voted. Senator
Rarkley said that il was impossible
new to secure even a majority in the
senate in favor of cloture Cloture of
course, would serve to shut off the
debate of the long winded southern
senators whole chief claim to statees-
nanship is their opposition to human
rights when black people are effected.
Barkley himself claims to favor the
anti lynching bill. From present ap-
pearances the measure will be bobbing
up again next session of congress unless
some new techaique is developed, will
serve rs again campaign issue.

tabhshing a precedent in the depart
cent. Information from sources close
to the office of the chief of staff, Gen.
Marshall, declare that the name OF Col.
g. o. Davis, now commanding officer
of New York's famous 369th regiment
has been accepted to act on the general
staff Immediately under Gen. Marshall,
to handle affairs pertaining to the wei
faps and good of Negroes in the army
and in the future drafts. o.
Following the lead of the United
Government Employees and their presi-
dent, Edgar c. Brown, who sometime
back suggested the name of Lieut.. B. ..
Davis, Jr., a man fitted to take over
such a post in the new defense program,
the chief OF staff took under advisenent
several names, it is reliably reported.
When he came to the biography and
record of Col. Davis and discussed tne
same with his associates, the general
concensus of opinion was that no man
in the service had finer record and
accordingly, Col. Davis name was given
the final approval. l..
