Dibble Denies
Sanction of
Segregation Theory
(By Harry McAlpin)

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA).
In a telegram to NNPA, Col.
Eugene H. Dibble, Jr., head of the
all-Negro Tuskegee Veterans Hos
pital, declared that Rep. John S.
Gibson ID. of Ga.) apparently mis-
interpreted his association with a
segregated institution as an I'M
qualified endorsement of segrega-
ton in theory.
DR.. Dibble was referring to a
statement made by Gibson on the
floor of the House of Representa-
tives, concurred in by Rep. John E.
Rankin ID. of Miss.), that Ne
groes must be segregated in Veter-
an Administration facilities, that
white nurses should not be allowed
to attend Negro patients, and that
it would be a fine thing if every
State had an all-Negro hospital.
In the course of his TRADE, Glib
son said Col. Dibble agreed with
himI Gin toto" on the business of
segregation. He said the colonel
agreed too that Negroes do not
have to be mixed with whites to be
able to Improve themselves" He
was loud in his praise of the hospi-
tai at Tuskegee, which he referred
to constantly as the "nigger hospi-
tai"
Rankin, in the same debate, said
anybody was crazy who tried to
knock down segregation.
Col. Dibble's full telegram to
NNPA read: This has reference
to article by Charles A. Niche in
PM of Sunday, June 3 in which it
is stated Congressman John S. Glib
son of Georgia said that Col. Dibble
agreed with him in toto on the
business of segregation. Congress-
man Gibson has apparently misin-
terpreted my association with a
segregated institution as an un-
qualified endorsement by me of
segregation in theory. While the
Congressman's statements do not
reflect my personal views, I wish to
point out that it is not my privilege
as a professional man in a United
States Government agency to criti-
CHE the policies of that service
either favorably or unfavorably.
Above statement has been wired to
PM today"

Poll Tux Bill
Passed by House
OHuru Votes No

Washington, D. c., June H.
(By Wire)-When the House pass
ed the anti-Poll Tax bill today by
vote of 25l to lO4 one Minnesota
Congressman, Joseph Patrick o.
Hara, Republican of the Second
district, voted against the bill. Once
before O'Hara voted against abol-
ishing the Poll Tax.
Minnesota Congressman voting
for the bill were: H. Carl Andersen
(RD, William J. Gallagher DD,
Walter H. Judd (R.), William Pit
tenger (RD, and Frank Starkey
(DD.
Not voting were: August Andre
sen (R), and Harold Hagen (R.),
both of whom were in Minneapolis
Tuesday and Harold Knutson (R.)
whose whereabouts have not been
ascertained.
Victory In House Expected
The overwhelming majority was
expected after the petition to dis
charge the House and Rules COM
mittees have been signed by 218
Congressman and the resolution of
discharge was passed yesterday
by a vote of 223 to 95.
During two hours of debate many
Congressman spoke for and against
the measure from both the Re-
publican and Democratic sides. Both
Congressman Dawson of Illinois
and Powell of New York spoke in
favor of the legislation.
Several Southern Democrats, in
Guiding Representative Luther Pat
rick of Alabama who spoke, in
favor of the measure on the floor,
voted for the anti Poll Tax bill.
Among other Southerners voting in
favor were Thomas of Texas, Jed
johnson of Oklahoma, Robson of
Kentucky, Chelf of Kentucky, and
Bates of Kentucky. Bates, how
ever, earlier in the day, voted
against a rule for FEPC and Rules
committee.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where it will be referred to the
Senate Judiciary committee.
Though some difficulty and opposi-
ton is expected in the Committee,
it is almost certain the measure
will be reported out favorably. 1t
is then destined to run into the in
evitable filibuster such as killed it
on the two previous occasions, when
it was before that body.

Republicans

1t is little less than subterfuge
and chicanery that they should seek
to make such political capital out
of this very serious and needed
legislation, ringside observers here
are saying. On no less than five
occasions, the Republicans had the
opportunity of landing a Knockout
blow by insisting on a vote and
getting a favorable rule for FEPC.
Enough of them, however, lined up
with the Southern Democrats in
holding back their Sunday punch"
and forcing postponements and ad-
journments until a six-six tie vote
was certain.
However, it was Slaughter the
Democrat from Kansas City, de-
sertion of Truman, which killed the
bill in the Rules committee.

it is possible that the President,
having stuck his neck out on this
issue, may throw his weight around
a bit against Slaughter from his
home state, whose attitude on the
measure may make the difference
between a pat on the back or a
slap in the face of the President.
By the time this is printed, the
committee may have taken some
positive action-at least we hope
so.

Committee 'Slaughters" F.E.P.C.

Last Round Before House
Committee by Mo. Democrat

Especial TO Spokesman and Recorder
Papers)
Washington, D. c., June 12-(By
wire)-The FEPC went down under
a count of six to six today when
the Rules committee quote Slaught-
cred unquote it in two rounds.
Round by Round Report
The first round, at 1890 this
morning left FEPC groggy from
foul punches below the belt de-
ivered by a Republican-SOuthern
Democrat coalition.
Eleven members were present. A
commitment to vote at 1920 had
been made. But Representative
Roger Slaughter Cd. of Missouri)
was delayed by a grounded plane
and was not in his corner.
Chairman Adolph SABBATH ID. of
Illinois), the referee, called on the
gladiators to come out and fight
get to the voting. He pointed out
that Slaughter knew of their in
tentions and should have arranged
to be present.
But two Republicans, reported
to have been Clarence J. Brown of
Ohio and Leo E. Allen of Illinois,
supported the Southern Democrats
who insisted on delay and post
ponement until 1:15 this afternoon
in order to give Slaughter a chance
to arrive.
Slaughter came to the afternoon
meeting-round twO-accompanied
by his second" Colmer of Mis-
sissippi. They were in high spirits.
1t was the tip off as to the style
of fighting Slaughter would use.
SABBATH Will Give Battle
Expressing genuine disgust after
the bout, SABBATH said there was no
white hope" in view who might
win a favorable rule for FEPC
under present conditions. The only
avenues open now, he stated, are by
discharge petition or a two-thirds
vote to suspend the rules. He told
reporters that he will shortly go
on the floor of the House and make
an appeal for members to sign Dis
charge Petition No. 4 (which now
has 1913 signatures of a required
218). He said he will sign the
petition himself despite the fact
he is chairman of the Rules COM
mittee-an unusual precedent.
G.. o. P. Makes Claim
The Republican members of the
Rules committee and other Re-
publican congressman already are
pointing to the fact their party
voted 100 per cent for the rule,
and they are claiming "the cham
pionship on a foul"

These men work under abominable

You see modern cranes lifting incred-

You see the vast picture as it is. and

IN France, around the rim of the western

These men have none of the glamour
OF the front. They do job of stevedor-
