ing pressure of discrimination, de-
MED an opportunity for parGicipa-
ton in the selection of those who
are to rule over us, refused equal
pay for equal work, restrained to
the dirty, mental occupations, re-
stricted in educational opportuni-
ties, and prevented by the moral
dishonesty and legal Juggling of
our best friends from enjoying
the rights and privileges that be-
long inherently to every American.
THE ILLUSION BURSTS
But our best friends had the
light turned on them last week by
the Supreme Court, and the beau
tiful balloon of illusion they had
created of their concern for the
Negro burst, leaving in its wake an
ugly, snarling, malevolent biped
who no longer could pose as
friend
The fume and fury which
spread from the poll tax states
throughout the nation as the
result of a decision, which, af-
ter all, merely reaffirmed what
the Constitution has said for
the past "a years, could leave
no doubt as to the kind of
friendship burden the Bonded
backs of black Americans have
had to carry for 10 these many
years.
The reaction was not pretty
thing to see. 1t was fascism at its
ugliest at bay. It sounded a warm
ing note to the nation that il no
longer could remain indifferent to
the cancerous sore of racial repres-
sion in its own back yard while
expanding thousands of lives and
billions of dollars to stamp it out
half way across the world.
MANY NOT READY
It was also warning that many
Americans are not yet ready for
the kind of new world order. which
leaders of the United Nations have
said they are determined to build.
These Americans simply are not
fighting this war for justice, liber-
ty and equality for all people.
Their hostile reaction to the
Texas decision, in so many
words, very frankly informs the

No Call For Such
Fear, Statement
BY Officials Says

DENMARK, S. G. - (SNS) -
Near the close of the session of the
association of presidents, deans
and registrars of Negro colleges Of
South Carolina meeting at Voor-
hees Junior college Tuesday, a
statement deploring the call Of the
special session of the South Caro-
lima legislature to insure white SUI
premacy in South Carolina was
unanimously endorsed.
The statement as formulated
and adopted was sent to the gov
ernor and president of the assem-
bly,, was as follows:
1--WE view with alarm the ankle
ty, apprehensions and fears which
have caused our state to call into
extra session the legislature Of our
commonwealth. There can be no
gain saving the fact that this very
act will go a long way in accentua.
ting the tension between the races
at a time when sane and rational
thinking is more necessary than
ever before.
1.-THE thoughtful and sane citi-
zenS of both races in this state
realize that such fears are unWar-
ranted and unfounded. We are
convinced that the principles and
ideals of democracy and Christian
ity for which the members of all
races and nations of the civilized
world are fighting and dying are
the ends for which we strive in
this state. If this is true, 1t is diff
ficult to understand why the or
gained agencies of our state
could not develop and put into OPP
Grafton machinery by which the
rights of all citizens might be
guaranteed under the Jaw.
GAS long as one group uees Its
powers and prerog@uves - prevent
the other group from re lizing its
manhood rights and assuming its
manhood obligations. We can not
expect to live the kind of Co-opera-
tive, peaceful, progressive life
which is the birthright of every
person in a free society"

NAACP They're
For Limited Debate

WASHINGTON, d. G. - (SNS)
With the anti-poll tax bill sche-
duled to come up in the Senate
sometime during the week of April
"a, the stage is set for bitter de-
bate in which race hatred speeches
are almost certain to be featured.
The Southern Senators from poll
tax states announced many months
ago. after the bill passed the House
that they would filibuster against
it, Loudest among them is Senator
Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi.
NEED TWO-THIRDS
The only way filibuster can be
broken effectively is through the
voting of cloture Limitation of de-
BATE and in order to do this
two-thirds vote of senators present
is necessary. There has been some
indication that the Senate may
vote cloture. Senator Wallace H.
White, Jr., of Maine, generally re-
garded as Minority Leader follow
ing the death of Senator Charles
McNary, announced recently that
he Thought" most of the Republi-
cans would vote for cloture
Most Senators are very cagey
about making positive pledge on
cloture, but in answer to a letter
from the NAACP last winter, the
following Senators definitely
promised to vote for cloture: Bark
ley ID. KY; Capper, Or. Kansas;
Gillette, ID. Iowa.; Johnson, Cd.
ColoD Wagner, ID. N. W; Walsh,
ID. MassD; Taft, (R. Ohio; Lu-
cas-, ID. IllD; Reed, Or. Kansas :;
Vandenberg (R., Micho, and Ball,
J Or MIMI
IOWAN AGAINST BILL
Although Senator Gillette of
Iowa promised to vote for cloture
because he does not believe in a
filibuster, he announced that he is
> not in favor of the anti-poll tax
bill He only believes it should
have a free and fair debate.
Sensing the possibility that clo-
ture will be voted and the fillbus-
ter thus killed, the southern Sena-
, tors have perfected a new plan to
delay a vote on H r. indefinite
ly. They are said to have drawn
up about 1000 amendments and
every amendment is debatable,
even under the limitation of clo-
ture.
NAACP branches in "a states
have written their Senators urging
support of the bill, after receiving
a letter of advice from the Wash
ington Bureau of the NAACP here.

Return Angry
Promise 10 Cool OF
for Csmpsien
BY FRANK MORRIS

CHICAGO, July 22-Michiean's
new Democratic leaders left this
convention city today burning mad
over the defeat Of Vice President
Wallace and charging dirty
politics but they promised their
national chiefs that they would
not carry their rancor into the
election campaign.
Because the delegation was
dominated by the Go, Michigan
was q key state in the Wallace
camp.
I'VE naturally are disap-
pointed" EXPLAINED Richard T.
Frankensteen, vice president OF
the UAW-CIO and chairman OF
the delegation.
But the working people OF
Michigan will not carry their
bitterness into the campaign
and take II out on the Demo-
cratic ticket. We wanted 10 be
for Roosevelt and Wallace. We
are returning home pledged TO
Roosevelt and Truman"
DELEGATES EMBARRASSED
Michigan delegates were embar-
raised no end by the attempt TO
capture the vice presidential NOM
ination for Supreme Court Justice
Frank Murphy.
Had Murphy been here, he
would have prevented the ill-ad-
vised and careless move. But the
Justice was vacationing at his
home in Harbor Beach and had
no knowledge of the plot which
undoubtedly proved as embarras-
sing to him as to his many friends
in the convention hall.
Congressman George O'Brien
of Detroit insisted on offering
Murphy's name, hoping that q
deadlock would develop between
Wallace and Truman. His princi-
pal aid was Frank Schwartz OF
Detroit, an alternate.
oBRIEN DEFIANT
Edward J. Fry, nominee for
governor, argued heatediy with
O'Brien, trying TO kill the idea.
So did Frankensteen. Thomas and
others. But the congressman was
defiant.
Murphy's many friends In the
delegation were on q spot. But
they were committed to Wallace
and they could not dodge that
commitment.
So Justice Murphy got only two
votes, one from O'Brien and hal
votes from William NJ. Donnell,
of Detroit and John Anderson o.
Port Huron,
There was a report here that
the former governor had author
lied submission of his name.
The truth Is that Murphy
meeting with Fry and other
leaders last Saturday. told them
his name could be offered only If
the Michigan delegation wanted to
do so by unanimous vote.
He emphatically cautione d
against the use of his name as
long as Vice President Wallace
was In the running.
