the best in the nation-outside the
South, if necessary. If the men
and women Of tomorrow are to live
together in peace, harmony, on a
basis of equality, the children of to-
day must be so educated together
for one world citizenship.
There need be no depression If
we, the people, through the United
States government, tackle the job
of setting our educational system
in order, and to work with as much
dispatch and vigor as we moved
to support a global, total and revo-
lutionary war in the immediate
days following Pearl HarbOr.
Equality Of education for all
Americas children for one world
citizenship is the most important
job ahead Of Americans today.
Upon that depends the defense and
perpetuation of democracy and
free enterprise. Only the United
States government is equal to the
task. 1t would be a crime against
humanity to delay action. And it
is indeed later than we think.

fications of the case the Senate
war investigating committee is
making out against Bilbo and Mis-.
sissippi contractors who obtained
through his aid contracts to build
Army fields in their state.
Under the Constitution, each
House is vested with the right to
determine whether a man, who
claims to have been elected to either
House, was in fact elected. On the
basis of the facts developed by the
hearings held in Mississippi, the
Senate will concern itself with the
question Of whether Bilbo achieved
his election through the intimida.
ton Of colored voters. The ques.
ton of his election may be deter
mined by a majority vote.
II the Senate should decide
that BilbO won the nomination
despite the intimidation Of col
Ored voters, and administers the
oath Of Office TO him, 1t may -.
then proceed to invoke its right
Of expulsion which the COnsti-
tuition gives il ''fOr disOrderly
behavior" of its members. In
the case Of BilbO, the evidence
adduced by the Senate war in
vestigating committee clearly
establishes that he helped Mis-
sissippi contractors obtain Army
contracts and he accepted gratui-
ties from them.
The law respecting payments for
influence exerted in procuring Gov
eminent contracts clearly brings
the Bilbo case within the definition
of the term "disorderly behavior"
That law provides that whoever,
being elected or appointed as a
member of or a delegate to Con-
gress, shall, after his election or
appointment and either before or
after he has qualified, and during
his continuance in office, directly
or indirectly takes, receives, or
agrees to receive, from any per-
son, any money, property or other
valuable consideration whatever,
for procuring, or aiding to procure,
any contract from the United
States, or from any officer or de.
partment thereof, for any person
whatsoever, or whoever, directly OF
indirectly, shall offer, or agree to
give, or bestow, any money, prop
erty, or other valuable considera.
ton whatever, for procuring, OF
aiding to procure, any such con-
tract, shall be fined not more thar
$4,000 and imprisoned not more
than two years; and shall, more,
over, be disqualified from holding
any office Of honor, profit, or trust
under the Government of the
United States.
The evidence and the law in the
case against BilbO respecting wal
contracts is quite clear. II will bG

action.

Light Selling Turns
Stock Market Down
After Early Rise
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press finoncioi Write

NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-The stock
market enjoyed another early re-
covery sortie today but demand
was negligible, and the lightest sort
of selling soon put many leaders in
the losing ranks
Wall Streeters, while believing
that the list was due for a further
technical comeback in the wake of
the sharpest slump in more than
eight years, still inclined to cautious
operations. Accounts again were
trimmed, it was said, because of
persistent doubts regarding labor
riffs, price controls and earnings
The cloudier foreign situation, as
emphasized by Secretary of State
Byrnes, served to cool speculative
and investment enthusiasm. Hopes
for a quick General Motors strike
settlement failed to inspire much
purchasing.
Dealings, after a fairly active
opening. were among the slowest of
the year to date. Losses of fractions
to 2 points or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
Backward most of the time were
