BY HOWARD SUBTLE

JACKSON. Miss.-Aug. 5.-The so called
"solid South,'' political step-child of the Dem
ocratic party despite the fact that this section
has been responsible, more than any other
factor, for perpetuation of the party. is ex-
pected to 'go down the line for the Roose-
velt-Truman ticket in the November 7 cleo
ton.
Disgruntled southern leaders, not including
few who may carry on the fight of those
who supported Senator Harry F. Byrd, of vir-
ginia, for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation at the Chicago convention, are gener.
ally concluding that the South has nothing
to gain by contributing to the election of the
Dewey Bricker Republican ticket.
These conclusions have been reached by
this correspondent after 4 trip over various
sections of Dixie and discussion of the subject
with many a those who, before the Chicago
convention, were outspoken in their opposition
to fourth term.
Political observers in the deep South are Of
the opinion that of the four so-called pre-con-
vention "insurgent'' states-Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, South Carolina and Texas-only Texas
il still in the doubtful column, and the election
week ago of delegates for the Lone Star
states second Democratic convention of the
year, September 12 indicates a trend toward
the Roosevelt-Truman slate and away from
the insurgency which marked the nomination
of delegates to the national convention.
ANTS STILL FIGHTING -.
Leaders in the draft Byrd move, includ-
ing John U. Barr, Of New Orleans, evidently
do not propose to cease activity in their op-
position to fourth term.
Barr feels that the Byrd organization, which
he likes to describe as having been started
from scratch by a group of amateurs riding
from Baton Rouge to New Orleans made
considerable progress in the face of long
odds" against it.
He and his cohorts studying cleo
ton laws in the various states to determine
feasibility of write i'm campaign designed
to bind electors to "some other Democrat"
The anti-fourth-termers face considerable
difficulty in this plan, however, for state cleo
ton laws are far from uniform. In fact, the
names of only the electors of the contesting
political parties appear the ballots of some
states.
Then there is the prevalent feeling among
many citizens that the electoral college ma
chinery, set up and maintained by the found
ing fathers, should not be tempered WITH lest
a demand for changes might be made that
would further initiate against the South.
Threats have already been made in Congress
for invocation of the fourteenth amendment,
which, if carried out would reduce the num-
Der of House representatives in several states,
particularly in the South.
So Barr collaborating with such men as
former Governors Dan Moody, of Texas, Mike
Conner OF Miss; ssippi Sam Jones of Loulsi-
ana and J. K. Breedin of South Carolina,

Senator LANCER
Demands Dismissal
Sedition Charges

Washington, D. c. (JPS) -
Deep feeling for the rights of
Jewish, Negro and other minority
groups moves him, said Senator
William LANCER (R. N. d., in a
speech on the Senate floor, to ap-
peal to the Government to drop
its case against the twenty-six
sedition trial defendants. Adj
hitting that he was 'prejudiced
in favor" of the defendants whom
he described as 'little old men
and women" who shave no more
influence than a rooster" Sena-
tor LANCER asked Attorney Cen
eral Francis Biddle to dismiss
charge against all of them.
Listening from the Senate gal
lery to Langer's plea on behalf
of herself and the twenty-five
other alleged seditionists was
Elizabeth Dilling, who had just
visited Langer's office, and who
the day before, near the court,
called Army Air Corps Lieuten-
ant Emanuel Needleman a God
damned Jew" threatening that
''the Jews have been driven out
of Europe and you'll all be driven
out of this country too" Mrs.
Dilling was accompanied by her
son, kirkpatrick, a corporal in
the army, who joined her in the
verbal attack on Lieutenant
Needleman. The latter said he
gave a sworn statement to Army
authorities here. Mrs. billings
son has since been seen without
his corporal's stripes.

Anderson-T ully Company
Contributes To Economic
Welfare Of Negro
Vicksburg Plant Employs Sam
Negroes For Over SO Years

Recently, in our effort to bring
to our readers another example of
some of the really fine conditions
that exist between the southern
white employer and his Negro en-
ployees, we spent some time inter
viewing the workers of the Ander-
son-Tully Company in Vicksburg.
Among the many things taht
we found out was that the An
derson-Tully Company has operated
in the South at Greenfield and
Memphis, Tennessee, for over fifty
five years and that for fifty of
those years has maintained a plant
at Vicksburg, Miss We also found
out that now in Vicksburg on this
job are Negroes who have been
with the company ever since the
plant was built and we feel that
this fact alone attest to the fine
spirit of goodwill and cooperation
that must exist between the en-
ployer and employee-a spirit that
will continue to grow better if left
alone by persons unfamiliar with
the problems of the southern Ne
gro.
In the Anderson-T ully plants,
both in Memphis and Vicksburg,
when a man becomes too old to
work he is put on a Pension which
pays him a goodly percentage of
the wages paid him when he work
ed. There are more Negro pen
sioners in both plants than there
are white. In the Vicksburg plant
when a employee, either Negro or
White man, becomes i'll and is I'M
able to pay for medical attention,
is taken care of by the company.
We also learned that at the plant
in Vicksburg there are Negro en-
ployees who are making more than
some white men, simply because
they are doing a job they like, I'M
derstand and one with which they
are satisfied.
The things mentioned above are
not only practiced in the Anderson
Tully Company but also in most
all of the large industries through
out the South. These industries do
not exploit the Negro as some peo-
pie in other parts of the country
seem to think, but in most cases
they maintain an amicable relation
ship with the Negro employees, and
prove on countless occasions that
they are real friends of the Negro.
