Crowd Of Spectators,
But Few Witnesses,
Due al BiIbo Hearing
BY III. A.soeiot.d Press

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 30. - A
small group of witnesses and a
large crowd of spectators are ex-
pected to gather in the Federal
courtroom here Monday when the
Senate Campaign Investigating
Committee looks into the political
tactics of Senator Bilbo in last sum-
mer's Democratic primary.
THE Man" Is expected to be the
leading man In what many Missis-
sippians predict will be the biggest
show in the State since the days
when Senator Bilbo was impeached
in the State Legislature on bribery
charge, was tried by the Senate
and won an acquittal by one vote.
For the committee, despite nu-
rlerous pleas to the citizenry has
been able to find fewer than rs
voluntary witnesses.
Riley N. Shanks. general counsel
for the committee, has urged all
Mississippians to come forward and
testify if they have any information
to substantiate or refute charges
that Senator Bilbos campaign
speeches intimidated would be
voters.
Committeeman Disappointed.
But despite this plea and prom
tses of committee protection from
reprisals, the committee has en-
countered "a lack of cooperation"
which Mr.. Shanks termed "surpris-
ing and Disappointing"
The Progressive Voters League,
through its president, T. B. Wilson,
jackson Negro real estate agent,
has asked the committee to use its
power of subpoena to force witnesses
to testify. but to date the committee
has indicated an unwillingness to
follow this procedure unless 1t is
proved necessary.
From outside the State. Negro
groups have asked Gov. Fielding
Wright to call out the State Guard
to protect Negroes who wish to
appear against Senator Bilbo. Gov.
Wright replied that Negroes have
been testifying against white men
in Mississippi for so years to my
personal knowledge and see no
reason for them to be fearful now
Meanwhile "The Man" has quietly
gone his way, visiting friends over
the State, and gathering pecans on
his farm near his Poplarville dream
house." apparently unperturbed by
the investigation.
Bilbo Silent on Plans.
He has told newsmen he plans
to attend the hearings but has not
indicated whether he will present
any witnesses.
The Senate committee decided
some weeks ago to hold hearings
here after it received petition,
signed by about so Mississippians,
most of them Negroes, that voters
were intimidated during the cam
paign preceding the July 2 Demo-
cratic primary in which Senator
Bilbo defeated four opponents.
But, Senator Ellender, committee |
chairman, has said, the hearings
do not constitute a trial of any
one" and are being held solely to
let the committee know what has
been going on down here" 4
Other accusations against SEM
ator Bilbo to the effect that he
accepted gratuities from war con-
tractors are not involved in the
hearing here,
Hearings on those charges are
to open in Washington on Decem-
ber IL before a Senate committee
investigating conduct of the ma
tional defense program. Senator

A major work by Thomas Eakins
American painter, has been given
the National Gallery OF Art, the
gallery announced yesterday.
The acquisition is the well-known
painting of Msgr. Diomede Falconio
who was Apostolic Delegate here
in the first decade of the century
and became a Cardinal on his re-
turn to Rome.
1t is the gift of Stephen G. Clark
Of New York possessor of sewing
machine fortune and noted collec-
tor.
David e. Finley, director of the
gallery, in making the announce
ment said:
"It is difficult to overemphasize the
Importance of Mr.. Clark's gift. In
1941, at the time of the opening of
the National Gallery. three of our
greatest American artists, Homer,
Ryder and Eakins. were not repre-
sented in the collection.
Evening star., 1946-12-01

"owing to the generosity OF pri'
vate- benefactors, outstanding can.
vases by Homer and Ryder were
subsequently acquired, but Eakin,
remained serious gap in the rep.
|resentation of American painting
AS most of his great pictures hac
been bought or given to other muse
ums before the National Gallery was
established. 1t seemed doubtful
whether sufficiently important
work could be acquired.
I'VE are particularly fortunate
therefore, that Mr.. Clark has nov
made 1t possible for Eakins to be
represented in the National Gal
lery by one of his last and finest
portraits.
Mr.. Eakins was a Philadelphia
whom criticism posthumously raised
to the top rank of American artists
He is best known to gallery stfollers
for his pictures of sports.
