What would you rather be than an

There is just one issue for each and
every one Of US, whether we are
Negro or White, whether we are Prot

are employer or worker-and that is
sue is-Would we rather be Ameri-
cans? Do we want to be Americans?
Are we willing to take the response
bility that is ours as Americans? Do
we thank our lucky star we live here
rather than elsewhere?
If the answer is yes, then the road
before US is plain. We must stick to
the narrow way-and concentrate on
one thing alone the preservation Of
America We must put aside every
thing that interferes with our appli-
cation to this momentous task. There
will be time for other things later.
This does not mean that we must
overlook or cease to condemn Unequal

Southern Opponents Begin
End Week of Filibustering
Dis-Hord Advocates Of Legislation
Admit Thot FIGHT Seems Lost

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 -
(P) - Odds that the Senate
would reject the anti-poll tax
bill rose today after majority
leader Barkley conceded it could
not pass this session unless de-
bate were limited.
A move to set a time limit on
the arguments fell flat yester-
day but was expected to be re-
newed today.
Southern opponents of the
measure which would eliminate
payment of poll taxes as a vot-
ing qualification in elections of
Federal officials app r d
grimly confident as they began
their second week of filibuster-
ing against the Bill.
Even die-hard advocates Of
the legislation admitted the
fight seemed lost. Although al
ready approved by the House in
slightly different form, the mea-
sure will expire unless the SEN
ate votes it prior to the end of
the current session, next Jan. 2.
Senator Chandler (D-Ky),
the colleague of Democratic
leader Barkley, blocked accep-
lance of the proposal. He said
he did not want a precedent I'M
der which a Senator would have
