But from the beginning of the Hos

the aims they put forth could only
come true within the framework of the
United Nations, the lilo was not yet
part of the United Nations and one

represented at the conference
The absence of Soviet Russia could
be felt in every session of the confer
ence. A resolution dealing with post
war policy toward Axis countries was
sidetracked on the insistence of Sir
Frederick William Leggett, British
government delegate, that the absence
of the USSR made impossible deci-
sion on such a subject. Throughout the
conference government delegates from

The secretary informed the local

able to find out where these indi

the hands of the shop committee.
We hope the War Labor Board will
rule on our vacations before conven-

the opinion that this has been hanging
fire too long. Our National Officials are
doing all in their power to get a ruling
on this issue, but pending action by the
WLB, there is nothing they can do.
We wish To call attention To the
coming War Bond Drive. With inya-
sion near at hand, the government
needs all the support it can get from
the home front, and no better way can
be found than TO lend this support,
than to purchase an extra bond during
the drive Remember, our buddies in
the service will be making far greater
sacrifices than we can endure through
the purchase of an extra bond.

would have halted the shameful fill
buster of noisy minority of southern

Although it was admitted on every

to permit it TO do So
A total of Is Republicans, II Demo

Against them were 13 Republicans
and 81 Democrats, with the latter
fighting strongly throughout the de-
bate. That made up the A.
Senator Claude Pepper Cd, Fla.)
made fighting speech in behalf of the
bill. He pounded the table and pointed
out that the poll tax does prevent
Americans from practicing the democ-
racy America breaches. But Peppers
voice was almost alone.
Most friends of the bill acted little
ashamed of themselves. They appeared
to be putting on an act.
Senator Pat McCarran, Cd, New
chairman of the committee on judi
ciary that reported HR to the floor,
voted against clOture although he pro-
tested he would vote for the bill if Il
vote on it were permitted. McCarran
explained he was against cloture be-
cause it would take away the rights of
minority groups to defend themselves
against a majority.
Senator James Mead Cd, n. W,
floor leader of the poll tax sponsors,
was an ineffective general. He went
through the motions of his act without
any great display of talent. He de-
finitely lacked zeal for the job.

are desirOus of securing increased

through their general agent, Fran

insured male member an applica-

The insurance company has been

can be made for any group unless

important that these cards be re-
turned in order that the insurance
company might be governed ac-
