 Film Star Orson WelIes, calling for legislation banning racial hat red, said:
 This is the time for action. There must be laws against what moral Judgment already outlaws. Race hat red is not an opinion-it is a phobia, a disease. Those who advocate it must be deprived of a place in gov ernment. The scourge of race hatred must be solemnly declared crime"
 ''The problem of minorities is no longer a problem of minorities alone but a problem for all the people," Robinson told the audi. ence. ''Race hatred starts with wisecracks and jokes about 'Mexes' and 'kikes,' spreads to slogans of for white men only and then we find that America's unity is in deadly peril. And we find that racial and religious prejudice is the focal point of fascism-and that fascism is the deadliest enemy of human progress"

 How neatly and quickly MT. Kal- tenborn adjusts himself to new po- sitiOns.
 F. s. Mir. KaltenbOrn is spOn- sOred on the radio by the Pure Oil Company. It might be inter- esting to note in this connection tha MT.

 'Isn't he satisfied with the in- terest on his 100000 shares in Montgomery Ward?"

DEFEAT THE POLL-TAXERS

THE United States Senate has a \ great opportunity to strike a blow for democracy this week, when debate opens on the Anti Poll Tax Bill, already passed by the House of Representatives. Southern Senators, enraged by the Supreme Courts decision that the color of mans skin has no rela- ton to his constitutional rights, have announced that they will fiji buster.
 The burden thus rests squarely on the shoulders of the Senators from the remaining sections of the country. It is unthinkable that while members of our armed forces are dying to ensure the survival of a free world, small group of big Otted politicians from the South can block our progress toward a more complete democracy.

Not Even The Bible Is
 Sacred To Racketeer

Nothing is sacred-not even the Bible-from men with itching palms on the make for a dishonest dollar. The Arthur von Sender Company, Inc, Pittsburgh, was cited this week by the Federal Trade Commission for falsely misrepresenting its "armored Bibles" as protection to soldiers from bullet, shrapnel or bayonets. Thousands of copies, it was charged, have been sold to fighting men.
 The F. T. C. claims that the Bible offers practically no protection, but actually increase hazards, because a bullet passing through it would be dis torted and cause a more serious wound.

Southern Bloc 10 Take
Fight on FEPC Funds
To Senate Floor
Ry ]. A. O'LEARY.

A group of Southern Senators de-
cided at an informal conference
today to carry their fight against
continued operation of the Presi-
dents Fair Employment Practices
Committee to the floor of the Senate
tomorrow.
1t Is understood opponents of the
agency will not filibuster against
passage of the $500, ,000, 900 war
agencies supply bill, which carries
the $500,000 allowed by the House for
the expenses of FEPC after July
to operate under executive order.
The debate. however, may last sew
eral days. The opposition will cen
ter around the argument that If the
agency is to continue, its powers
should be defined by act Of Congress
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, who led the unsuccessful
fight against the appropriation in
committee Monday, said:
I'VE will undertake as best We can
to advise the Senate and the country
OF the dangers of legislating in this
haphazarded way. The executive
order of the President creating the
committee has been Interpreted as
giving 1t almost unlimited powers"
The Georgian said the proposal to
appropriate $500, 900 to continue the
agency without first passing a basic
enabling act presents the most clear
cut test that could be offered to the
Senate as to whether we are to have
government by executive order, or
follow the orderly processes that
have been recognized as constitu-
tional." -
Senator Russell said there is a
bill pending in House committee
to give FEPC legislative sanction
and he argued that ANY bill would
be preferable because its legality
could be tested In the courts" He
said there is no way to get into
court on the basis of the commit
tees present decisions. =.
According to Senator Russell an
amendment will be offered by Sen
ator Maybank, Democrat, of South
Carolina to prohibit FEPC from
using volunteer employees to in.
vestigate complaints of discrimina-
ton. Supporters. of FEPC, who
kept the item in the supply bill
by vote OF IA to in committee
are expected to rally to its defense
during the floor debate.

Brooklyn Gas Poisonings Lead
I To New Army Treatments

! The major conclusion is that the
best treatment for lung irritant
gases is administration of oxygen
under pressure, instead Of bleeding
the patients as was done in the
World War. Medical officers found
patients can and will tolerate pres
sure oxygen in mask. 1t was dis
closed that officers from the Chem
ical Warfare Service at Edgewood
Arsenal, Md, were rushed to Brook
lyn at the time and helped take
care of patients. Ec
From a military viewpoint, the gas
poisoning cases in Brooklyn were of
unusual Importance, as the casual
ties were the first on fairly large
scale since the World War.
The use OF oxygen under pressure
is considered particularly important,
medical officers said, as the medical
profession has been divided on the
desirability Of this method as con-
trasted with bleeding" The latter
method was followed during the
other war on the theaFy that many
gas casualties died of heart failure,
and that it was necessary to bleed to
reduce a supposed strain on the cir
culatory system Brooklyn victims
examined at the hospital did not ex-
hibit abnormal heart conditions.
disqualification of the victims
also permitted study of the useful
ness of penicillin and sulfadiazine
in preventing pneumonia, and in
fections which always threaten a
gas patient. The medical officers
also studied various types of ap-
paratus for administering oxygen
tc gas patients. ..
The War Department said these
reports are expected to influence a
decision on what type is best suited
for field operations.

Discussed at News. Conference.
The attitude of the French chief
and. as result, of the officers at his
command, also is given as the reason
why President Roosevelt dealt at
length in his news conference yes
terday on arrangements which had
been made for French invasion
currency.
According to the reports reaching
here on Gen. De Gaulle's handling
of the French liaison officers. the
situation developed as follows
Many months ago when plans were
forming for the opening of second
front, officials of the French National
Committee suggested that military
officers representing the committee
should serve as liaison between the
invading forces and the French pop
ulation.
Allied authorities agreed and the
combined chiefs of staff acting In
the name of the British and Amer
lean governments, directed Gen
Eisenhower to make use of the
French oficers. Subsequently, the
committee assigned several hundred
officers to Gen. Eisenhower's COM
mand In Britain and they were given
special training with invasion forces

London two days before D-day, he
brought IN for review this whole
question of the use of French Off
GERS and the extent of cooperation
between the committee and Gen.
Eisenhower's forces. As a result
and officials here say because he
was trying to force recognition of
the committee as government
Gen. de Gaulle suddenly reversed
the long established French posi-
ton and refused to Lt the officers
60 along on their assigned missions.
The insistence OF Allied COM
mands on having some representa-
tion for dealing with the French
people finally forced him to relent
to the extent of allowing 20 officers
to make the trip. Of1cials here
say Gen. Eisenhower's reports show
the officers who were forbidden to
go were extremely disappointed.
These actions of Gen. de Gaulle
were understood to have strength
ened the White House and State
Department decision against recog-
nizing the Liberation Committee as
Frances provisional government.
1t was to obtain such recognition
that Gen. de Gaulle sent word he
would like to see the President.
Hope to Persuade De Gaulle.
However, 1t can now be reported
MIR. Roosevelt agreed to receive him
primarily because he hopes that he
may persuade the French leader to
work more closely with the Allied
high command for victory in Europe
Actions which have lessened the
chances for a successful meeting
between the President and the gen.
eral, according to highly placed off,
cials, include Gen. de Gaulle's criti-
cisms of Gen. Eisenhower's an
nounced policy for administering
liberated areas of France.
They also include his work with
the exiled governments OF Poland,
