OPINIONS OF
POLL TAX BILL

Dear Friend:
Are we stopped at the last hurdle?
MOI
Now is the time to get in more and
many demands that H. r. Z, the anti
poll tax bill come to the Senate floor
this month. Senator Barley, admin
istration leader who is primarily re-
sponsible for planning the schedule,
continues to ignore H r z. This can
be changed.
Last week Senator Karkley was for
ced to change his plans and allow the
anti-labor Case bill to come up. out Of
turn. The p~oll-taxers, in a wave of an
ti-labor speeches, were largely resp
onsible. He should get just as much
pressure from within and without the
Senate to give H r 7 its long overdue
chance.
The summer recess is fast approa-
ching. h Il 7 must come up well be-
fore that. 1t must come up before
Senators leave the city in large num-
bers and while other important bills
are pending to serve as a brake on
the filibuster.

time in your organization, in your
community. Send wires and letters to
Senator Alben Barley and to your
own Senators, Senate Office Building,

these delaying tactics must be defeat

BIG FOUR POWERS

To Public Pulse:
Apparently the American Public is
concerned, yet confused, over the
strained relationship among the big a
powers.
A proper analysis would require
d%elving into many phases. Space linn
its full discussion on all; so permit
a suggestion to one group that it be
tolerant enough with another group
to permit it to advance " reasons
why:
First, the Imperialism of Great Bri-
tain; Second, the philosophy of the
United States and the policy of its
armed forces in regards to white sup
remacy or discrimination.
Add to that the fact that the United
States delegate 'climed the ladder of
success" on votes of less than ten per
cent Of his States Citizens.
Does it require a great deal of M
telligence for one to reaon out why
Russia looks upon the U. S. delegate
with disdain, mistrust; Why she ques-
tons the integrity of the other pow.

Affiliations May Get Use OfAirfieIds
 Lend-Lease Bases
 On British Areas
 Up for Dispute

Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. l8 - (UP) - American-built Lend-Lease air bases on British possessions in the Atlantic may be opened up for use by commercial airlines of all nations, observers at the Anglo American Civil Aviation Conference believed today.
 Conference delegates reached an agreement in principle" to permit commercial use of the air fields dur ing yesterdays sessions. It was be- lieHed the bases probably will be opened to planes of all nationalities with limitations on the number of flights.
 The basic agreement on the lend lease bases was reached sooner than had been expected and was consid- cred to be a preliminary success of the conference which opened Tues day
 Vice-Admiral Forrest M. Sher- man, naval adviser to the U. s. del- egation, said the United States in- tended to see that commercial use of the bases does not nullify their value as military outposts. He said the postwar use of the bases could have been settled in 194O when the United States leased the bases from Britain but at that time we did not have the time and there was no immediate necessity to go into the commercial angle.
 Although the fields were leased strictly for military use 1t was ap- parent that they would be used for more than military bases in the postwar period" sherman said.
 The official conference announce ment on the lend-lease base discus sions said the delegates found "a great measure of agreement In principle on the future use Of the bases"
 The agreement in principle" was not clarified by delegates but 1t was a clear indication that both countries realized the bases must be kept open for commercial use since the military value has definitely de- creased. They are ideal stepping stones for Atlantic flights, both in the north and the south.
 Discussions were based on diplo- matic exchanges between the two countries. The United States sent a note to Britain last November re- ouesting discussion of the problem.
