Rankin Called
Boss OF House

NEW YORK. - CAMP = John
Rankin, regarded in many circles
as one of the nations top race and
labor baiters, was called "boss of
the house of representatives" here
last week by Rep. Adam Clayton
Powell, Jr., during a session of
the 10th biennial convention of the
New York State Federation Of
Temple sisterhoods.
Speaking in a symposium, Rep
Powell said, "The No. unchal-
lenged fascist of America, John
Rankin, has become boss of the
house of representatives" He
based his charges on Rankin's sue
cess since vi day to win suffi-
cient support for every measure
he has favored while only two or
three he has opposed have been
approved.
Powell's charges merely confirm
a similar charge made by CLIO
representatives about a year ago
that the house of representatives
was pro-Rankin. Members of the
house, who silently endorse racisn
and labor batting, were described
as looking upon the Mississippian
as a hero. Newsmen have also re-
ported Rankin as one of the most
popular members of the house..
"What the house did to the OPA
the other day proves it," Powell
told $50 delegates to the three-day
meeting.

Theodore Bilbo in MissiSsippi'S

to deny votes to Washington be-
cause the Negro would then be in
power in the capital.
Using every black subterfuge
of white supremacy champions,
Bilbo tells crowds that the COL

the only ones who want to vote
and hastens to assure his listen
ers they'll never do it as long as
Bilbo is in Washington, as chair
man of the district committee"
Further, the picayune politician,
who used to clip newspapers for
Roosevelt and at one time was
personal non grata in his hotel,
declared that as chairman of the
district committee he is mayor OF

Powell Cams
Forward Step
For FEpC Bill
Labor Committee
Would Bypass
Rules Body Vote

WASHINGTON, D. C.
(NNPA) -Under prodding by Rep
resentative Adam C. Powell, Dem
ocrat, Of New York, the House
Labor Committee last Tuesday
agreed to put one of it's other
members in charge of the fair
employment practice bill instead
of Representative Mary T. Norton,
Democrat, of New Jersey, who is
seriously i'll.
This move, agreed to by Mrs.
Norton, was taken in order that
the bill NAV be called up under
the Calendar Wednesday" rule,
which permits, on a roll call OF
committees on calendar Wednes-
day, any committee having a bill
ready on the calendar to call it
up.
BYPASS COMMITTEE
By this device, the House Labor
Committee would bypass the
House Rules Committee which has
refused to give it rule making
the FEPC a special order of BUSH
ness for House consideration
Mr.. Powell is insisting that a
vote be had on the FEPC bill be-
fore the Congress recesses for the
summer or this session of Congress
expires in December. Under pres
ent plans, Congress will take a
summer recess beginning about
July /. Mr.. Powell hopes to get
action on the bill under the "Cal-
endar Wednesday" rule before that
recess begins.
Under the rule, only the chair
man of committee may call up
a bill. Because of her condition,
it is doubtful whether Mrs. Norton
will return during the present ses-
session or be candidate for re-
election.
At the request of Mr.. Powell,
Representative Frank E. Hook,
Democrat, of Michigan, member
of the Labor Committee, tele-
graphed her to ascertain whether
she would object to the committee
naming another member to take
charge of the FEPC bill. Mrs. Nor
ton. who has been opposed to the
Calendar Wednesday" move, gave
her consent.
VOTE MOTION
When the committee met last
Tuesday to consider the minimum
wage bill, Mr. Powell made the
motion to replace her. 1t was
adopted, eight to two. Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph, Democrat,
of West Virginia, acting chairman
of the committee, said he would
consider taking charge Of the bill.
The eight committee members
who voted for the Powell motion
were: Representatives John Lesin-
ski, Michigan; Augustine B. Kel-
ley, Pennsylvania; Hook, Michigan;
Powell, New York, and Alexander
j. Resa, Illinois, Democrats, and
Richard J. WEIGH, California, and
Sherman Adams, New Hampshire,
Republicans.
Two Republicans, Representa-
tives Clare E. Hoffman, Michigan,
and Samuel X. Mcconnell, Jr.,
Pennsylvania, voted against the mo-
ton.

votes struck out the white" and
called for all Democratic voters

PEPPER ANNOUNCEMENT

Immediately following the de-
feat by vote of Al to Al of a pc
tition for cloture on the British
loan last Tuesday, Senator Claude
Pepper, Democrat, of Florida, an
nounced that bipartisan group
of Senators plan to seek revision
of the Senate cloture rule to make
it possible for a Senate majority,
at any time. to:
/. Require that debate be rele-
want to the subject under consid-
Grafton"
2. Determine what is the BUSH
ness of the Senate;;" and
3. Determine the time when a
vote should be had upon measures
pe,1ding before the Senate"
Senator Pepper said the bi-par-
tisan group, to which he referred,
wants a motion to invoke these
prerogatives by the majority to be
a privileged motion. which could
be presented to the Senate at any
time, "even while another Sena-
tor was addressing the Senate"
BIPARTISAN ACTION
Whether the bipartisan group
would join in pressing the Salton-
stall resolution or would offer
resolution of their own was not
disclosed by Senator Pepper.
Besides blocking a vote in the
Senate on the FEPC bill, fill
buster threatens to block the anti
poll tax bill, if it is called up.
Any change in Senate rules first
would have to be approved by the
Rules Committee headed by Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia,
who is against limitation of de-
bate in the Senate.

For the second time in the year

Council has authorized the repay
ment of $4,000 of bonded indebted
ness, thus reducing the debt to a
balance of $4,000. Despite the de-
crease, there has been no increase
in tax rates, although the cost of
materials used in recent projects
has increased appreciably. In ad-
dition to this, he has begun regular
ash collection, installed a water
main on Monrovia Avenue, paid
for the new water tank, removed
the old stand pipe and maintained
extensive street repairs. Badly
needed renovations have been
made at Lake Como, all light
standards and fire hydrants have
been painted and the water pump
has been rebuilt, affording greater
head pressure and the capacity to
