This craven spectacle was witnessed
last week when the two Senator,
from Mississippi, Bilbo and Eastland
undertook the pirates role as q
means Of defeating the very small
appropriation needed to carry or
the work of the FEPC till the end Of
the war. The two Senators opposed
the appropriation. A ma iority OF the
Senate favored 1t. Yet the ma jority
sat in seeming helplessness while the
freebooters had their way. ~
Something Precious.
Not member of the Senate but
was aware of the humiliating nature
Of the proceedings; not member
but knew there was a way out of the
situation II the Senate chose to take
it. Under the Senate's own rules a
limit can be put on the length OF
time any member may talk on the
subject under consideration. The
votes Of two-thirds Of the members,
however, are required to invoke this
rule and it is rare that that many
votes can be found
The reason given Is that the Sena-
tors consider their general rule OF
unlimited debate to be something
precious, something essential to the
process of democratic government
The House has no such rule, nor does
any other important parliamentary
body in the world. Why the Senate
clings to it is beyond the under
standing of anybody not a Senator
1t could be. of course, that, as little
as he likes to see any other member
obtain what he wants by making
himself a nuisance, each Senator
feels that he may on some future
occasion desire to use the holdup
weapon himself. But most Senators
say they never would be guilty.
1t can't be that they take any
pride in the performance, which
after all. has about the same dignity
as a determined little boy, kicking
and screaming on the floor in the
midst of a tea party, with mother
pretending it is merely amusing and
guests joining in the pretense while
wishing mother would take the little
boy outside and do the obvious.
Lack Courage
Yet the Senate, calling itself the
greatest deliberative body in the
world, never has had the courage
to Teform'itS own method of operas-
ing, nor the courage to say that
elaboration shall not become de-
loerate obstruction. "a. g..--. a.
No Senator really has need for the
rule Of unlimited debate. No Sena-
tor is so full Of wisdom on any con-
ceivable subject that he cannot re-
lease it all in the course of a couple
of hours, and certainly few are elo-
quent enough to hold the close atten-
tion of their colleagues for longer
than that. And, in any event. it would
always be possible for the Senate to
grant member additional time. of

Unless a particular move is done

SAID, and she'll talk your head off
abou seeds and cuttings and sub

own started-out back of the old

the barn once stood-the one the
storm blew down that time. Miss
Minerva told me about it."
Helen said nothing, but Aggie
did. DO you know what l Think
she said rather eXplosively. Il think

That" said Helen, depends"
And they changed the subject.
Then Saturday., Helen's day off
arrived. 1t was a perfect one, with
spring we'll on the way. The sky
above the airport was a great blue
dome, and there weren't too many
sightseers parading the observation

They are funny tricks, aren't

And would you suggest that she
get some of those women down
there to run them?" said Helen, in
dicating two or three women in
greasy o~veralls.
"We'Ve got women at home who
can do that said Philip.
"Really?"
Sure said Philip. THE women
in Lakeville also know there's a
war"
Il wonder if those women who're
running the d~oodlebugs get all
dressed up at night" Helen said,
almost as though speaking to her
self. IF they go entirely feminine
when night cOmes-to sort of coun-
teract the way they live during the

How about you?"
