Rankin and Taft
Linked AS Chief
Foes of FEPC
St Paul Recorder-Page 2

Washington, D. G. - Following
fisticuffs last week in which Con-
gresham Frank Hook of Michigan
was struck in the face for his
espousal of FEPC, the NAACP
warned branches in a letter from
the Washington Bureau, that "the
welfare and security of the Negro
and the common man in postwar
America is being seriously menaced
by the reactionary group in Con-
gross led by Rankin, Bilbo, Taft
and Co."
Not only were branches directed
to prepare now for the defeat of
every member of the House and
Senate following the Rankin-B ilbo-
Taft line, but to let respective Rep
resentatives and Senators know
that such an affront as occurred on
the House floor is under severe
scrutiny. "This cowardly attack, I"
wrote Leslie Perry, NAACP as
sistant, Clearly indicates the
length to which these reactionaries
will go to intimidate Congressman
working for the passage of progress
sive legislation. Rankin made this
attack only because he knew that
he had the support of a large bloc
of Republicans and Democrats of
which he is the titular head.
"While there have been no fisti-
cuffs in the Senate" the letter con-
tinued, Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio is working overtime to confuse
the issues there. In the hope of
divorcing any lukewarm supporter
of the FEPC bill in the Senate, Taft
has introduced a phony FEPC bill
of his own which would reduce
FEPC to mere study commission
without powers of enforcement.
Taft now is reported to be prepar-
ing a trick Federal Aid to Educa-
ton bill"

Aubrey Williams
Gauge of
COP Attitude
By Washington Bureau

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The fight for confirmation of
Aubrey Williams as administrator
of the Rural Electrifcation Admin
istration is good gauge of the sim
cerity of Republican Senators on
the race issue.
Aubrey Williams is former ad-
mnistrator of the National Youth
Administration. AS head of that
agency, he was responsible for the
policies which gave to Negro youth
IN many parts of the country their
first chance for real industrial edu-
cation which has fitted them to take
a role in the war effort of their
country in positions other than
mental or unskilled.
AS a progressive, liberal South
erner, Aubrey Williams wrote two
books. One was a lambast of
Southern Tories in Congress. The
other was prediction of "a new
awakening in the South where the
Negro has been pilloried for profit"
These two books are being used
as weapons against Williams by
Southern Senators who oppose his
confirmation to the job for which
he has been nominated by President
Roosevelt.
In addition, he is being attacked
for his favorable attitude toward a
permanent FEPC with enforcement
powers and for his fortnight stand
against policies and practices of
segregation and discrimination.
Backing up the Southern reac-
tionaries in the fight against Will
Hams are Republican Senators Taft
(Ohio), Bushfield $50. Dak.) and
Butler (Nebraska).
Other Republicans in the Senate
are inclined to follow the lead of
these men. Taft is chairman of the
Senate Republican Steering Com
mittee. They are attempting to
camoufage the fight against Will
Iams in cloak of opposition to his
New Deal theories.
There can be no installing the
fact, however, that the opposition to
Williams is based on his liberal
views concerning race. The Re-
publicans who oppose him, there
fore, place themselves and their
party in the same position as the
Southern element which has taken
exception to Williams because of
his racial liberalism.
Still carried in the doubtful
column on Williams confirmation
are Republican Senators Vanden-
berg and Ferguson of Michigan
Burton of Ohio, Austin of Vermont
and Tobey of New Hampshire.
Voting against Williams con-

and in two years, with the assist
ance of Minnesota Methodists and
the Board of Missions and Church
Extension, the church was freed of
all Indebtedness.
Over $4,000 was raised Sunday
for the Crusade for Christ. The
Camphor Church raised twice the
amount asked for in the $25, 100000
campaign launched by the Method
lists of the nation last December.
The Camphor Church has men,
bership of more than 200 and has
had ten pastors in its twenty-five
years history. The present pastor
completes his seventh year next
month.
