ALL progressive and democratic
a minded voters must be con-
scious of the issues today in the
field of civil liberties to be able to
evaluate the program or platform
of various candidates for office.
First. it is a democratic privilege
to vote and everyone should regis
ter and vote if they want democ-
raey to survive and grow.
The Illinois General Assembly
should enact a law to permit l8
year olds to right to vote as well as
to fight for their government. The
legislature should also liberalize
the election laws. to permit new
political parties to get on the bal
lot.
Candidates for Congress must
commit themselves to vote for a
federal Fair Employment Practice
Commission, for federal anti-mob
violence Qynch) law, for a civil
rights law for the District of Co
lunbia twhere Negroes cannot eat
in public places, attend movies or
theatres, or get a hotel room). Be
cause southern Democrats control
committees of Congress our Chi

themselves to sign discharge petit

CIVIL RIGHTS
OR KLANISM

CANDIDATES FOR any Office
should be approached to commit
themselves publicly for every as
pect of civil liberties so that after
election when various issues arise
we can secure their cooperation in
attacking any violation of civil
rights. When public officials put
themselves on record it is much
easier to get their aid on civil
rights fights after they are in Of
fee.
Every commitment secured by
delegations confering with can
didates should be given publicity
and reported to organizations
specializing in the field of civil
rights.
Voters should support the gate
way amendment to the Illinois
Constitution tie permit three amend
ments to the constitution to be
submitted to the electorate at one
time. This is a first step toward
gettin Constitutional reform.
Every candidate for the General
Assembly should reveal his posi-
ton on calling a Constitutional
Convention to modernize Illinois
laws and give Chicago home rule.

THE FIGHT against the elirni-
nation of price ceilings on existing
housing obtained only eight Repub-
hcan votes in the House; the fight
against the emasculation of the
minimum wage bill in the Senate
got nine Republican votes: on the
vote to sustain the Presidents veto
of the Case Bill. only u Republi-
cans voted against wiping out
labor's rights.
In Illinois, the Republican Con-
gressmen have consistently reac-
tlonary records.
Whatever restraints President
ROOseveit's leadership might have
had on the reactionary tenden-
cies of poll-tax Democrats and
most Republicans was, of course,
eliminated after his death.
President T u m pledged to
carry out the foreign and domestic
program of his great predecessor.
His words asserted his loyalty to
the Chief His deeds indicated an
entirely different point of view.

A Republican victory in Illinois
will put the reactionary Col.

Chicago representatives. with the

some of them would mean in the

the usual procedure was the method
of serving the food. Instead of n ilf-

your pick of choice borsels, walters
moved through the crowd with trays
OF hors d'oeuvre. Promptly an hour
after the reception got underway

person to a country, much harm
could be done instead of promot-
ing better understanding
One of the problems which she
thinks will be considered at the
UNESCO Conference is the flnan-
cial assistance by governments to
exchange students or international
scholarship students.
1T would be foolish to do this
sort of thing badly" she said. "and
the governments must see that
those who are sent have sufficient
to do their work properly"
Another mission which she feels
can be accomplished through
UNESCO is relaxing of passport re-
quirements for exchange students
or other exchange persons and make
it less difficult for them to enter
other countries.
DR.. Brunauer highly approves of
women's groups and organizations
which have made special studies
of international affairs.
"Women's groups can do lot by
improving and keeping on with
their international studies" she
said.

relaxed when some one asked DR.
Brunauer if she had any children.
Yes" she replied proudly. two
