DEMI-GOD
IN ACTION

Editors Note: The No. Congressional
demi-god, anti-Semitic, anti-Willbie, anti
Negro, anti-poll taxer Arthur Rankin
poured out his usual dose of poison last
week in Congress in an attack on the
Presidents Fair Employment Practices
Committee. We reprint his remarks as
reported in the Congressional Record to
show to what depths representatives de-
scend who are elected in poll tax states
where the majority of the people are barred
from voting. Rankin is the type of
GENUS MEPHTTIS whose presence in our
lawmaking bodies threaten our place in
the international planning for peace be
tween the nations and races of the world.
Hear is an example of Rankin's
ranting:
SO-called Fair Employment y.
Practice Committee
From Congressional Record)
Mr.. RANKIN. Mr.. Speaker, I
ask unanimous consent to address
the House for one minute and to
revise and extend my remarks.
The SPEAKER. Is there objec-
ton to the request of the gentle
man from Mississippi?
There was no objection.
Mr.. RANKIN. Mr.. Speaker,
while President Roosevelt is away,
a bunch of crackpots down here in
what they call the "Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee" seem to
be doing everything they possibly
can to drive the white people of the
South out of the Democratic Party,
by trying to force them to accept
Negroes on terms of social equality.
They seem to have succeeded as far
south as Kentucky and Oklahoma,
Judging from the latest election re-
turns.
If they should succeed in driving
a few more Southern States out of
the Democratic Party, we would
not have enough Democrats left in
this House to force a roll call. The
party would be as dead as a door
nail.
When they go out and attempt
to force every private enterprise in
the South to accept Negroes, force
them to employ Negroes and pro-
mote them, whether they want
them or not, they are simply Great
ing dissension that is going to
bring race trouble, just as it did
in Detroit, Mich, and Harlem, New
York, and will result in injury to
both whites and Negroes for years
and years to come.
When they attempt to force pri-
vate enterprise, say, to bend to
their wishes in this respect, they
commit one of the most dangerous
acts of communistic nonsense I
have ever seen attempted by any
body on the Federal pay roll.
When they go to the railroad |
brotherhoods and tell the white |
men working on our railroads, who
have been good to the Negroes of |
this country, that they have to
make engineers and conductors out |
of them, and that they have to ac-
cept them on terms of social
equality, I say they are insulting |
the white railroad men of the coun-
try, and doing the Negroes an ir-
reparable injury.
This so-called Fair Employment |
Practice Committee is really a
rump organization without any
legal authority, and should be
abolished at once. This is no time |
for a bunch Of crackpots to be STIR
ring up race trouble throughout the
country.

COSMOPOLITAN
Here is Frances' answer

Here is Frances answer:
"After hearing her sing on many
occasions, after each of which
have written as much admirine
comment as time and space woulC
allow, l have finally met Marian
Anderson personally. 1t was at {
dinner given last Saturday night at
the home of Rev. Benjamin N.
Moore and Mrs. Moore, who live
at 566 Central avenue, and since
there were only seven of US at the
table, it was everyone's privilege
to share in the conversation.
marian Anderson is, of course,
a widely travelled woman, and
true cosmopolitan in her intellectual
outlook, which is as keen as it is I'M
pretentious. AS for her musical
triumphs, they are a matter of his
tory so public as to need no recital
here. But there is some point in
making a reference to them, for
meeting prima donnas is something
of a routine occurrence in the
course of a job like mine, and 1
think 1 am speaking as something
of a connoisseur when l say that
this girl is one of the very few
who don't discuss themselves.

PLEASANT PARTY

"The glowing personality that is
so palpable to concert-goers, prob
ably because it is never DISTRACTED
by mannerisms or self-conscious-
ness, is a permanent part of the
Anderson equipment. If sh e
couldn't sing a note, if her name
never had appeared in bright lights,
she would still be a charming, in
teresting woman, with perfect
poise, and an irresistible sense of
humor; a woman whom you would
like to see again and again, just for
the pleasure of enjoying the high
quality of companionableness with
which she is so gifted.
at was late, very late, before
the party dispersed, and afterward
1 realized that 1 probably ought to
be very tired. I wasn't, and think
/ know the reason. l had been with
a half-dozen persons, all of them
good conversationalists, and every
one the possessor of a soft, low
pitched voice. That is one of the
minor reasons why I shall never
forget the evening""

COMMITTEE ASKED
TO REVIEW BILL
Senator TOOher Proposes
Measure on Legislators
Accepting Gifts"

State Senator Joseph ]. Tooher
CD Of Stamford explained to the
Senate today that the acquittal Of
five legislators accused Of bribery
In connection with the Waterbury
conspiracy trial caused him to In
troduce his bill, thus making 1t
easier to prove such q charge. He
requested that the bill be returned
to the judiciary committee for more
serious consideration, despite the
committees unfavorable report. Two
Republican senators, Henry Hunt Of
the Glastonbury and Stanley p.
Maad Of New Canaan, members OF
the judiciary committee, supported
him In his efforts.
The Senate voted to return the
Tooher bill to the committee. Sen
Tooter said, 1.-THE need Of this bill
was made clear in the Waterbury
trials In connection with the gifts
Of stock in a toilet seat concern
1t was charged by the grand jury
that the legislators accepted this
stock in payment for their votes for
CIlS puSSdBC "a q VIA WAlAOA WOuAA
have required public pay toilets to
use sterilizing device similar to
that manufactured by Leary's con-
Germ.
The five legislatures were exon
Grated because the gifts Of stock
were made after the passage Of the
bill in question, and the diff1culty
of proving, under existing statutes,
that any understanding, had existed
between them and Leary to reward
them for their votes.
Sen. Tooher'S bill states 1.-THE re.
ceipt or acceptance by a member OF
the General Assembly Of any
pecuniary or other present after the
performance or non-performance
of any official act which benefit
the giver shall be presumed to have
been done pursuant to a corrupt un-
Outstanding prior to the perform
ance or non-performance for the

Devin to re-examine his memoir

Charles Ringers attack on the
