Barkley's motion to recess the Sem
ate around 9 o'clock of its first
night session in a long time. The
motion was defeated.
Quarterbacking the Republicans,
now in possession of the ball, Taft
introduced petition, signed mostly
by Republicans, calling for a clo-
ture vote to shut off debate on the
War Agencies Appropriation Bill.
He berated Barley for his sugges-
ton of compromise, and carried the
ball right over Bilbo's defensive
position by accusing him of holding
up the appropriation bill.
With Bilbo and Eastland still in
the game, the Demos defense was
weakened. On Monday, right after
Pres. Truman personally delivers
the United Nations Charter to the
Senate at 1 o'clock, the Senate will
vote on cloture, which requires two
thirds. If cloture is voted, it as
sures also the suspension of the
rules in order that the FEPC
amendment might be submitted,
which also requires a two-thirds
vote. The ball will have been car
ried over the goal line by the Re-
publicans.
The second half will not begin for
a while yet. The San Francisco
Charter will have to be disposed Of
first-and then the Senate is likely
to recess for short vacation. But
when the second half does get under
way, the Permanent FEPC bill will
be up.
Quarterback Taft of the Republi-
cans, who has pulled some boners
in previous games Federal Aid to
Education and opposition to en-
forcement powers in FEPC), will be
closely watched. Solicitors of the
All-American candidates are
anxious to know whether he is just
a first-half flash in the pan on the
present FEPG with no enforcement
powers-or whether he will stand
out as well in the second half when
the bill for permanent FEPC with
enforcement powers comes up.
AS is true in any football game,
the ball (the Negro is being kicked
around considerably.

tation of Southerners in the House
makes a two-thirds vote on this
question impossible.
When the new war agencies ap-
preparation bill is passed by the
House, it will go again to the Sen
ate, where a fight to insert FEPC
again is expected, with repetition
of the travesty of last week will
be enacted. The merry-go-round
will be in full swing.
In the meantime, all the other
agencies covered by the war agen-
cies bill are operating on a def
cheney appropriation since the ex-
piration of the fiscal year at mid
night on June 80. No such provi-
sion was made for the FEPC. The
whole staff of FEPC reported for
work today despite the absence of
funds and worked on voluntary
basis.

Clark and Burgess
Lead in NAACP
Ct PauI Drive

Frank Clark with thirty men,
berships and M. R. Burgess, who
reported twenty-three memberships,
were leading their divisions in the
membership drive of the st. Paul
Branch of the NAACP in reports
made up to Monday, according to
Mrs. Della Holsomback, chairman
of the Membership Committee.
When Mrs. George W. Downey
came to pay her membership last
Saturday, she told Mrs. Holsom-
back "that every Negro ought to
join the NAACP after Senator
BiIbo and Senator Eastland of Mis-
sissippi have talked so disgracefully
about us on the floor of the Senate. "
The drive will be extended fifteen
days longer.

FEPC CONGRESS FOOTBALL
GETS KICKING AROUND
BY BOTH PARTY TEAMS

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The Republicans, quarterbackeC
by Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio
stole the ball from the Democrats
in the FEPC game last week. They
are being closely watched to see
if they will go for a touchdown in
this first half of the game, and what
kind of game they will play wher
the second half brings out the bill
for a permanent FEPC.
The Democrats won the toss anG
elected to receive the opening kick,
off when Pres. Truman, on three
different occasions, expressed his
sincere hope that the FEPC would
be continued.
With the ball in their possession
the Democrats began a forceful
goalward drive in the Senate. The
Appropriations Committee voted
IA to authorize Democratic quar-
terback Dennis Chavez to submit
an amendment to put $446,25O into
the War Agencies Appropriation
Bill for the FEPC.
The Political Bowl rocked with
cheers at those ground-gaining tao
tics. Then the Demos substituted
Bilbo of Mississippi and Eastland
of the same state in the backfield
Neither of them knew the team
signals. They fumbled and fouled
infiicting ground-losing penalties
on their teammates. Their coordina-
ton and timing was very poor
Bilbo's line-plunging attempts
coming right after Sen. Tom Con-
nally's report on the San Francisco
Conference, ran into a stone wal
and Eastland's following Sen. Van
denberg's similar report.
Eastland got his signals mixed
and began attacking the soldiers OF
the United States on the floor of the
Senate-because they are Negro
soldiers. He accused them of being
incompetent fighters, rapists, I'M
worthy to wear the uniform of their
country. He said his information
came from high military authorities
in Europe during a tour he took
with other Congressman. He cited
Liberia and its government as proof
all Negroes are inferior.
On fourth down, with their backs
against the wall, the Democrats
called in Sen. Barley of Kentucky,
majority leader. Instead of yank-
ing his teammates out and kicking
the ball out of danger, Barley at
tempted to forward pass. He pro-
posed a compromise. He pied with
Chavez and Bilbo to accept pro-
posal of s25O,OOO for FEPC instead
of the $446,25O. He pointed out
that the FEPC would not die even
if it were given no money at all
because it exists by Executive Order
and could raise money by passing
around the hat, which would be en-
barrassing to the Senate.
Chavez threw a perfect block or
the incharging opposition and ac-
cepted the compromise offer, but
down the field, Bilbo for whom the
pass was intended failed to reach
up in time and Taft intercepted.
Taft called for a record vote OF

In his inaugural address Hum
phrey attacked intolerance of all
kinds. He said: During the period
of war, great strides have been
made towards attaining a united
community. We have heard much
about the unity in our city that
has made possible our great record
of war production. We have pointed
with pride to the fact that men
and women of all races and creeds
are fighting side by side in the
cause of freedom. Yet there are
disturbing signs of disunity and
intolerance which must command
our attention. Government can no
longer ignore displays of bigotry,
violence and discrimination. The
true test of democratic unity lies
in the practical application of
democratic ideals on a local basis.
Let US not fail to remember that
minority persecution is the first
sign of social disintegration. Let
US not fail to remember that
wherever dictatorship has gained
control its first attack was on a
racial or religious minority.
Let us also remember that where
there has been a quick and decisive
application of the instruments of
law and order to smash those forces
which would let loose the toxin and
poison of intolerance, democratic
institutions have been strengthened
and freedom has been preserved.
Democracy Ideals
We must dedicate ourselves to
the true ideals of democracy where
in every person is accepted as a
human being with dignity and
worth, regardless of race, creed or
color. Government of the people
must lead the way. We must set
the example. call upon this honor
able body to unite with me in the
promotion and establishment of a
community relations program which
will eradicate the symptoms and
demonstrations of intolerance and
discrimination wherever they may
be found.
We here in Minneapolis have had
local fair employment practices
committee which has done a
splendid job in view of the limita-
tions under which it operates.
To say the least, the problem of
employment discrimination has
been brought out in the open and
efforts, through private and public
agencies, have been made to elimin-
ate it.
The steps which have already
been taken and the pattern of
action which has been established
are achievements which cannot be
liquidated at the end of the war.
II. is our duty and responsibility
to do all within our power to
guarantee equal opportunities of
employment to all persons, regard
less of race, color or creed. It is
our responsibility, regardless of ac-
ton or inaction on the part of ma
tional or state government to see
to it that fair employment prac-
tees are continued here. I recon-
mend for your consideration the es-
tablishment of local fair employ
ment practices committee on a per-
manent basis. The pattern of or
ganization has already been estab-
ished in other cities. We would
do well to follow their lead"
