in Italy and Germany, the labor organizations were not abolished. They were converted and pervert- ed into organizations to rally the workers behind programs. which in reality were to their detriment. Their officers were given big-shot government jobs; their members, beautiful speeches and pretty flags.

 Then there was the moron whose wife told him as far as she was concerned, he was going to stay in the doghouse. So he went out and bought himself a pup tent.
 A few days back we had a line from one of our lady contributors touching on the laundry situation. The theme was that the women had suffered plenty in the way of shortages in girdles, hosiery and other accessories, but now that laundry service Is slowing uo they have the laugh on the men. At least, she argued, the women can wash their clothes but a man cannot.

Peak CaseL Load
Is Reached By
FEPC Committee
1913 on File
November LIST,
Chairman Reveals

WASHINGTON, D. G. = (SNS) =
Although 232 cases of alleged en-
ployment discrimination were closed
during the month of October, 1943,
the active case load of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice reached a peak figure
of 1,713 cases on November l, Mall
colin Ross, Chairman, announced
Saturday.
OF the 232 cases closed in October,
81 cases, or % percent, were adjust
ed satisfactorily, Mr. Ross reported.
Thirty-one per cent of the cases
were dismissed on merits, Is percent
for insufficient evidence, 6 percent
for lack of jurisdiction, and 10 per-
cent of the cases were withdrawn
by the compliments.
Mr.. Ross said there had peen 80
percent increase in the active case
load since September l, 1913, and
credited this rise to the establish
ment of various regional offices of
the Committee. Prior to this reor-
ganization, all of the Committee S
cases were processed by small
staff in the national FEPC office

Your honor, my statement at

is no need for me to picture to this
Court the horrible details of these
dastardly crimes. The array of wit
nesses for the State, the confession
made and signed by the defendant
himself, and the concrete evidence
will reveal the unnatural aspect of
this vile offense against God and

ever dare In more than one respect,
am thankful that this is the
case, for some of the facts of this
evil crime are so fantastic and I'M
believable, so utterly beast-like and
foreign to our whole concept of
life, that I feel incapable of COM
munieating them to this Court.
Never in my long career as an

WASHINGTON-(ANP)-A sche-

on the anti-poll tax bill, now on
the senate calendar, was post

Frederick Van Nuys Cd of Indiana
found himself trying to clarity the
liquor situation as chairman OF a

There was no indication how soon
the session would be held. Partlcl-

of the house-approved bill. Later.
outside support was to have been
called in and informed how best
they could tie IN with the strategy.
Meanwhile, the National Commit

friend and two foes of Negroes were
lost in the halls of congress last
week in the deaths of Sen, War
rem w. Barbour (R) of New jersey,
Rep. Henry Bascom Steagall Cd
of Alabama, and Rep. j. William
Otter (R) of Pennsylvania.
In the passing of Sen. Barbour
Negroes lost a real champion whose
record was recounted on the floor
of the senate on Tuesday by Sen.
Warren r. Austin (R) of Vermont,
close friend of the deceased, Bar
bour had died suddenly at his home
here of coronary thrombosis. He
was SIS years old.
"In his efforts to amellorate the
condition of classes who are often
regarded as minorities, we find
him offering an anti-lynching bill
in congress-" declared Sen. Austin
in his eulogy. "We hear him an
nouncing that he would vote for
cloture of any debate when that
seemed necessary in order to secure
action on such legislation. He was
the author of a bill to establish a
Negro battalion in the New Jersey
National guard, and to secure war
department recognition"
Sen. Barbour was author of legis-
lation designed to assure Negroes
equality in hospital service and
other facilities in development of
national health programs in the
south as well as in the north. AS
a vice chairman of the Council
Intolerance he became
widely known for his public utter
ances against intolerance.
About the only way in which
Rep. Steagall ever distinguished
himself in his long career as
congressman, at least so far as
Negroes are concerned, was in his
opposition to the anti-lynchIng
bill and the anti-poll tax bill. He
was 70 years old when providence
caught up with him. He represent
ed MS district IN washington Tor
Is years straight, and became chair
man of the house banking and cur
rency committee.
On other legislation Steagall
identified himself closely with the
farm bloc, preferring to go along
with Ed O'Neal of the Farm Blu
reau federation. Currently he was
in opposition to the Presidents food
subsidy bill.
Rep. Otter was among the mot
ley group of congressman who op-
posed the National Youth admins
tration, the Works Progress admin
istration and various forward-look-
ing pieces of legislation.
