New York (FP)-A campaign to
send Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo back
to Mississippi for good was opened
by the National Civil Rights Con-
gress Oct. II at an "Unseat Bilbo"
dinner here.
Object of the campaign is to
obtain one million signatures on a
petition demanding Bilbo's expul-
sion from the Senate.
Already under investigation by
a congressional committee on
charges that he accepted $4,000
campaign contribution from a war
contractor, Bilbo was put on the
griddle by Rep. Helen Gahagan
Douglass, singer Paul Robson and
other speakers. They charged the
polltax senator was intimidating
Negroes to prevent them from vo-
ting in the Democratic primary in
his state last July 2.
Hyman Blumberg, state chair
man of the American Labor party,
said Of Bilbo: "The record shows
how he has referred to millions of
our citizens of Italian origin as
'dagoes', that he has reviled our
citizens who stem from the Jewish
race as kikes', that he has called
our citizens of the Negro race
'niggers.'
The diners were entertained
with skit The Gentleman from
Mississippi, tracing Bilbo's career
in Politics. 1t included the remind
er that in 1910 the Mississippi
state senate passed a resolution
calling its colleague Bilbo unfit to
sit with honest, upright men in a
racpocta hla legislative hodvv

Then too, Mr.. White I am sure
is fully informed Of the political
~jockeying that Democratic lead
ers participated in during the last

the anti-poll-tax bill. They know
that the complete failure of the
