ATLANTA, Feb. + (ANP)-Re-
jecting the spurious argument of
one senator that repeal Of the poll
would "make Georgia's streets un-
safe for white women and white
men would have to walk in the mid
die of the road at night" the Geor-
gia state senate passed bill sus-
pending the payment of the poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting, 31-19,
sending the measure to the house
Of representatives for action.
The vote came only after bitter
and prolonged debate, the opposi-
ton curiously enough coming from
senators representing the more
thickly populated counties of Chat
ham (Savannah) and Fulton (At-
lanta) while chief support for re-
peal was given by senators from the
smalled rural counties.
Action on poll tax repeal in Geor-
gia was speeded by Gov Ellis Arm
all, who in call joint session of the
Legislature Tuesday warned that un-
less the general assembly acts fav-
orably, he would issue an executive
order suspending payment of the
tax. The house Of representatives
Monday in test vote defeated a
measure that would have suspended
poll tax payments for veterans by
1O8 to 60.
Administration leaders, however,
were hopeful that since the COVER
nor's appearance, they would be
| able to force the bill through the
house in quick order
Reaching a new low in demagog-
uery, Sen. Spence Grayson Of Sa-
| vannah, harked back to Reconstruc-
tion days and the Ku Klux Klan to
stir up new racial fears in the hearts
Of his fellow solons.

Bishop Wright Says Church
Council First Proposed
Veqro al Peace Table

XENIA, Feb. / (ANP)-It was
the Fraternal Council Of Negro
churches which first stressed the
interest which Negroes ought to
take in postwar affairs and not A.
Philip Randolph as has been erron-
eously reported in recent articles,
Bishop R.R. Wright, executive sec
retary of the council, pointed out
here.
The bishop called attention to his
report to the council written in 1912
in which he suggested that the
church should be interested in peace
and declared that Africa would be
the big prize after the war is over.
He said that an African had pointed
out to him that the American Ne
groes had more voting citizens and
hence more prestige than any other
group of black people and ought to
form committee to help bring pres
sure to bear for equitable treat
ment of the people in African de-
tendencies. The bishop said that the
Negro church has a big financial
stake in Africa aside from it's racial
relationship having hundreds of
churches and millions of dollars
worth Of property.

GEORGIA MAKES MOVE TOWARD
REPEAL OF POLL TAX STATUTES

'1f you abolish the poll tax, you
will effectually eliminate the white
primary" shouted the Savanna
han, a mournful tremor in his voice.
"Hordes of 'nigras' and other un-
desirable elements will vote in the
general elections and beat the nom
inees of the white primary. We must
not forget" he continued, chat
thousands of Yankees and foreign
ers have migrated to our state to
work in the larger cities. They do
not understand our sacred tradi-
tions of white supremacy, they are
not interested in preserving the
principles for which our grand
fathers fought, bled and died. They
are not interested in our welfare
nor the welfare of our state"
Sen. Everett Millican of Atlanta,
who also fought repeal, based his
contention on the fear Of "mass
VOTE" asserting that "the greatest
progress the south has made in her
history has been under the benev-
olent protection of the poll tax
Proponents of tn e measure
stressed chiefly the fact that re-
peal of the poll tax would not bring
the enfranchisement of Negroes.
Said Sen. Charles T. Edwards of
Dublin, "The race issue is not in
volved here. l live in county
where there are more Negroes than
white people, but the repeal of the
poll tax would not bother US. We
always handled the race issue in our
white primaries and we will con-
tinue to do so. Let's do away with
this iniquitous poll tax SO that we
may have a real white democracy
in Georgia"

the Calhoun (Ga.) Times, liberal
newspaper, expressed his resent

Intelligence Tests Fail 10
Prove Race Differences
Says Psychologist

NEW YORK, Feb. l (ANP)-|
The whole mass of intelligence tests
which have been used to prove the
superiority and inferiority of var
ious racial, othnic and national
groups was severely criticized by
DR.. Otto Klineberg in his lecture
Measuring Negro Intelligence"
which was part Of the weekly lee
ture series "A World View of the
Negro Question" These lectures are
held at the Schomburg Collection of
Negro literature of the New York
Public library.
DR.. Klineberg, who is professor
Of psychology at Columbia uni
versity, gave a critical review of
intelligence tests which have been
given to African, West Indian and
American Negroes and pointed out
that these tests are more a test Of
the education and other cultural dis
advantages of these groups than
they are of inherited native abili-
ties. DR.. Klineberg pointed out that
the range of test scores for Negroes
and whites was the same and that
Negro children were known to have
made test scores of 200 which is
twice that of the average human
being. He pointed out, further, that
Northern Negroes generally made
better scores than Southern Ne
groes and that Italian
Portuguese Americans, Mexican
Americans and American Indians
generally made lower scores than
did the American Negro. However,
even those scores reflect the cul-
tural environment of those tested
and often the bias of many of the
testers.
DR.. Klineberg's conclusion was
that if those who wish to test in
herited abilities are to be scientific
they must first see to it that all
groups in the society who are to be
tested have the same economic ano
cultural advantages.

May Tie Permanent FEPC
TO WORK k-0R-JAIL" BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. (ANP)-
Plans to tack into the so-called
"work- or-jail" bill sponsored by
Rep. May and Sen. Bailey, an
amendment to give permanence to
the FEPC were developing here.
The objective of proponents of the
move is to use the amendment
against those who have been insis-
tent upon writing into the bill anti
closed hop amendment which
would relieve persons transferred
from less essential jobs to war
plants holding agreements with un-
ions from joining the union. At pres
ent the anti-union clause has been
knocked out although it had been
voted into the legislation once.
Chairman Mary Norton (D.N.J.)
of the House labor committee is op-
posed to the procedure being ad-
opted for forcing FEPC perman-
ence. She told reporters "this is no
place to bring in the FEPC." She
pointed out separate legislation al
ready under way to give statutory
standing to the agency.
The National council for a per-
manent FEPC withheld comment
on this new development pending
further study of what it is all
about" in other quarters, however,
the fear was expressed that by at
taching permanent FEPC amend

Interrupted by Sen. Grayson, the
demagogic senator from Savannah,

that he favored abolition of the
white primary, Sen. McGinty re-
piled: "The primary is not under
discussion now, but certainly | am

for passage of the measure as a

Mr.. Bevin called on all Poles,
military and civilian, to return to
their country and said Premier
Stain had assured him Russian
troops would be withdrawn from
Poland, except "a small number re-
quired to maintain communications
necessary for Soviet troops in Ger
many"
A peace treaty for Italy will be

First Full Dress Debate.
In the first full-dress debate of
the new government of Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee, Mr.. Bevin de-
clared Europe was "a happy hunt
ing ground" for men seeking polit-

the substitution "of one form of
totalitarianism for another" must
be prevented.
His remarks about the Balkans
came early in his far-reaching re-
view.
The governments set up in Bull
garia, Romania and Hungary do not
represent the views of the majority
of the people" Mr.. Bevin declared.
"The impression we get from re-
cent developments is that one kind
of totalitarianism is being replaced
by another" he told the House in
the first full dress debate on the new

1850 Gallons Of DDT
Sprayed on Rockford
As Polio Control Test
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Aug. 20.-More
than $500 gallons of DDT solution
were sprayed over selected area
of Rockford, ILL.,. yesterday from a
low-flying Mitchell bomber. The
test was made to determine the ef-
ficacy of the insecticide in control
ling the spread of infantile paraly-
sis.
The flights were to be repeated
today in continuation of the at
tack on a poliomyelitis epidemic
that has taken 16 lives and stricken
lao others since July l.
The other area, which officials
would not designate, was termed un-
controlled, and will be compared
with the sprayed area to determine
the insecticides effectiveness.
DR.. John r. Paul, Yale Univer-
sity authority on infantile paraly-
sis, said any information CLEANED
from the experiment would be kept
secret.
ITO announce that specific ter
ritory had been sprayed" he said,
might cause stampede into the
protected area. Such action might
confuse the experiment" He is
directing the procedure.
The bomber, piloted by Maj. L. A.
Bitterness of Willows, Calf, swept
the city at 200 miles per hour at a
height of $50 feet. Capt. L. A. Mel
son of Swartz Creek, Mich, oper-
ated the spray control and found 1t
necessary to make two trips to Truax
Field. Wis, go miles away, to refill
the 500-gallon tank.
Hospitals in the Rockford metro
politan area are jammed with cases,
although no new ones have been
since 9 pm. Saturday.
