Senator Smith, Democrat. of
South Carolina contended today
that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is
pushing the antipoll tax bill
which threatens to embroil the
Senate once more in an acri-
monious filibuster.
Il think Mrs. Roosevelt and the
administration as we'll are behind

porter.
The reason I say this is Mrs.

in her speeches, and the Presidents
attitude in not saying anything spe-

The measure, which passed the

make it illegal to require payment

Vickers workers do not belong to

of the FEPC have been held over
a long period. Following a con-
ference between company officials
and C. James Fleming Of the FEPC,
the company agreed to give Ne

qualified. The company discussed
this indignation of Negro workers
with Raymond Hatcher Of the Ur-

On the last day Of the session.

had already been done. Floor
Leader Knox of the House arose
rs the bill was reported out of COM
mittee and asked for an explanation
OF the measure.
Representative Walsh OF Wayne
County spoke in behalf of the bill
but Rep. Knox was not satisfied
with the explanations and moved
that the bill be sent back to COM
n.ittee. The motion carried and the
bill was lost because the session
was drawing to a close.
Responsibility for scuttling the
measure was placed at the feet Of
John Lovett OF the Michigan Manu-
facturer's association who was be-
lieved to be opposed to any such
legislation. He had previously
suggested several amendments to
the bill which seemed innocuous
but it was generally believed that
he was seeking some means to kill
il. The action of MCGEE was be-
lieved to have been inspired by
Mr. Lovett.
The bill called for fines up to
$500 for those employers found
guilty of unfair employment prac-
tees regarding Negroes and men,

They figured that they knew Early
Bill Cole pretty we'll, though they
had to admit they'd had the pleas

like twenty or twenty-five years
than that he had had two friends
who had meant much, very much to
him. Forty years before, and more,
there had rioted through the noun

and wide as Hell's Triplets: Early
Bill Cole, Dusty Lee, Buck Cody.
Dusty Lee and Buck Cody were hap
ly dead these many years, having
been swept away together in night
of violence, and about all that they
had left behind them was their va
rious offspring. Dusty Lee had left
a daughter with little dover save
her loneliness, and Buck Cody had
bequeathed to the world a son and
not much to 60 along with him. They
knew that little Ann Lee was teach
ing school somewhere or another

her aunt living with her, rather;
and that young Cody was trying to
make mining engineer out of HIM

Bill had told them-and that, with

THIS is the story of an old couch
L that became glamorous and
played a conspicuous part in a
charming sunny living room. The
transformation started with
heavy cotton twill fabric in a soft
tan tone to match the background
color of the hooked rug that you
see in front of the couch. 1t was
decided not to use any contrasting
trimming but to accent the clean
cut boX-like edges outlining the
couch pad and cushions with sec
ond seam on the outside, as shown
at the right. Couch cover and
cushions used 9l2 yards of the So
inch-Wide goods.
When the smartly tailored cover
was completed it was fastened
firmly in place with zippers of the
type that come apart at the bot
tom-one side being stitched to the
seam allowance of the cover and
the other sewn to the couch pad.

West Point at War
lWNU scr1.ieej1|
By Maj. Gen. Francis B. Wildly
superintendent Of West Point Academy

Being a newspaper columnist and
reporter is new experience for me.
However, feel that I can give you
a Reporters Report to the Nation"
from West Point, which should be
OF interest to every red-blooded
American.
I wish that everyone could visit
West Point for just one day, and
see what I see. You would get an
inspiration that you cannot help but
feel when you see the men of the
Corps and what they are doing. They
are not only fitting themselves for
whining this war, but also for WIN
ming the peace, and preventing, if
possible, the recurrence of such an
other world confagration as we are
passing through today.
AS you know, a cross-section of
American youth is selected from all
parts of the country to come to West
Point. They are selected by the
most democratic of methods, many
of them by winning competitive ex-
aminations.
Starting with these young men, we
aim to develop vigorously trained
soldier-officer, job which is great
ly facilitated by the fact that the
Cadets themselves sincerely desire
to make the most Of the opportunity
they have here. With the rapidly
changing weapons and new methods
developed in modern warfare, we
are constantly working to keep up
to date and give the latest, most
accurate information and training
to the Cadets.
