POLL TAX:
HR z the anti-poll tax bill intro
duced by Rep. Marcantonio (ALP,
N.Y. and supported by non-partisan
coalition of congressman, overwhelm-
ingly passed the house on May 26.
The bill is now before a subcommit-
tee of the senate judiciary commit
tee made up of:
Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland d.,
Ariz.), chairman.
Sen. Abe Murdock d., Utah).
Sen. John A. Danaher (R., Conn.,
Sen. Tom Connally 3D., Tex.)
Sen. Warren R. Austin (R, Vt.)
1t is essential that the members of
this subcommittee, Sen Frederick
Van Nuys, ID, Ind), chairman of the
full senate judiciary committee, and
your own two senators be urged at
once to take speedy action for imme-
diate passage of the anti-poll tax bill.
No hearings on this bill are neces-
sary since this identical bill was ap-
proved by the senate judiciary COM
mittee in the last session of congress
after 1S months of hearing.
The campaign to get HR through
the senate will require new heights
of popular action. Sen. Bilbo (poIl
taxer, Miss.), has announced that he
and his associates are ready. to fill
buster for Is months if necessary to
prevent the senate from having
chance to vote on the anti-poll tax
bill Only an understanding of the
essential win-the-war importance of
this legislation, backed up by a strong
popular demand for it's passage NOW
can insure that the senate will muster
the 2/3 vote needed for cloture 0imi-
tation of debate) so that the senate
will have an opportunity to vote on
HR Z. Rep. George H. Bender, the
chairman of the house coalition which
succeeded in passing HR in the
house said in a letter thanking NFCI.
for its part in the house campaign:
Let me say to you that l cannot
that the American people
will tolerate another shameful filibus-
ter in the midst of this war. But, it
is absolutely necessary that your or
that every local branch
and member write to your senators
to pledge them to vote for cloture and
for passage of the bill, if the filibuster
is to be defeated. There is no ques-
ton about it, the poll tax senators
will filibuster. Therefore, the vote
for cloture is the test vote. If a SEN
ator will not vote for cloture he is
opposed to the legislation. For this
reason it is essential to obtain the
pledge of every senator for cloture."
Wire Sen. Ernest M. Mcfarland and
Sen. Frederick Van Nuys urging i'm

Add benefits of Nazism: The high
est-paid skilled worker in the lumber
industry of East Prussia gets 32 cents
an hour. He can't take all that mon
ey home to the wife and kiddies,
though The government hicks him
for 13 per cent of his pay in taxes.
Then he has to give substantial part
of what's left in dues to the govern
ment-dominated Labor Front and in
"free-will offerings" to various Nazi
agencies. Even at that the skilled
lumber worker is well off by contrast
with his unskilled brother who has
to make similar contributions out of
