survey discloses.
Nearly 180 signatures had been
affixed to the petition to discharge
the rules committee from further
consideration of HR-7, according
to the National Committee to Abol-
ish the Poll Tax.

say we are ahead of the drive we
made in 1943 for signatures. We
expect a good size increase. The
steering committee is doing Won
derful job"
Assured that her bill will get con-
sideration, Mrs. Mary Norton is con-
fident that the rules committee will
take up permanent FEPC soon.

SsanE sfrkdHsas,

When a man loses the right use
of his mind, his friends put him in
a state institution, but when whole
people start turning imbecile they
commit themselves to the tender
mercies of government. That, in one
sentence, is what l think about the
so-called Full Employment Bill, al
ready passed by the Senate and
scheduled for early consideration by
the House.
If our congressman saddle upon
government an obligation to provide
jobs for everybody, they will be
saying, 1--WE represent common
wealth of incompetents, unable to
take care of themselves. Americas
vast resources, enormous productive
capacity, trained minds, skilled hands
and huge markets will be nothing if
our people lose their initiative, self
reliance and self-starters.

privileges and duties in proportion.
No man and no nation can revel
long in liberty and shirk the accom-
panying responsibilities, for human
freedom is a gift from above. Much
responsibility for the future of civil
lization hangs on the American peo-
pie; we may be glad our liberties are
many. This is not time to flop in an
armchair among the old worlds de-
cadent tribes.

of Europe and Asia. Those leases"
can't quit thinking that citizens must
serve the state instead of the state
serving the citizens. They actually
imagine that rulers can think better
than other people.

travagant of life and ruinous to the
morale of those who survived.
