Jim Grow
Act Attack
Fails
House Votes Down Bill
Designed To Repeal
Race Separation

Following an almost persistent
fight waged by Eastern Shore dele
cations since Feb Is, the House of
Delegates, on Tuesday, March 20,
killed the bill designed to repeal
Maryland 40-year old Jim Crow law
requiring segregation of white and
colored passengers on certain intra-
state transportation facilities.
BY voice vote-in which the mos
were shouted so loudly that they
disrupted a session of the Senate
across the hall--the House refused
a motion to substitute the repeater
bill for an unfavorable report on the
measure by the Judiciary Committee.
The motion was made by Delegate
Denmead Kolb -Wicomico) chair
man of tie Judiciary Committee,
which a short time before the bill
was brought to the floor had voted,
16 to 8, for an unfavorable report.
The only other member of the
House whose stand on the bill be-
came a matter of record was Dele
gate Denmead Kolb Cd Wicomico)
who, as soon as the Tolle motion
was defeated, moved for acceptance
of the unfavorable report, which was
done. with a resounding wEoop of
''ayes."
A lone voice was heard demanding
a roll call on the bill, but whether
this came from the gallery or was
that of member was not determin-
ed.
In any event any five supporters
of the bill, had they stood and de-
manded it, could have forced tie TAX
ing of a record on the roll call for
inclusion in the House Journal. But
none stood.
Immediately after defeat of the
repeater, Delegate William Lehnert
(D,Sixth Baltimore) author of res
olution calling for enforcement of
the Jim Crow law, said he would
press campaign to have it brought
form the rules COMMITTEES.
