sistent with his
record while he LAUTlER
was in the Senate. As a Senator
he voted for cloture on the anti.
poll tax bill.
This being u congressional cleo
ton year--will he speak out against
Southern Democrats who filibusteT
against the Fair Employment Prac-
tice bill when that measure Is called
up in the Senate7
Prediction: He will.
Incidentally, about One-half Of
the chairmanships Of standing com
mittecs Of the House and Senate
are held by Southerners. This stu
alton is due chiefly TO the disfran-
chisemcnt Of poor white folks and
colored people in the Bourbon South
which enable them TO rise to chair
mnnships through seniority.
For example: Senator Theodore
G. (The MANI Bilbo, of Mississippi,
IL chairman Of the Committee on
the District Of Columbia. He was
really elected in n white Democratic
primary which nominated him for
reelection over ex- mississippi Gov
ernor Hugh l.. White by "A vote Of
81 1874 to G2,Gil. In the 1914 cleo
ton, running on the Roosevelt
Truman Presidential ticket, Bilbo
received l43, All votes.
In 1912, an oil Presidential cleo
ton year, Bilbo's colleague, Sena-
tor James o. Eastland, was elected
with 81 1855 votes. lie was unop-
posed.
Amy number Of congressional dis
tricts In the north cast more votes
for Representative than are cast
in Mississippi for Senator.
For instance. Bill Dawson re-
ceivcd 42,7l3 votes for Congress in
l0I4 as against 26,204 for Bill King,
his Republican opponent. In 1912,
Dawson pollcd 2G,2S0 votes rs
against 23,537 for his Republican
opponent. This total Of 49,8l7 re-
quired to elect Representative in
the first Illinois district Is equiva-
lent to the Mississippi vote for SEN
ator in an of Presidential election
year.
But Dawson's vote Of 26,2S0 ex-
cecded by 1894 the vote by which
Senator Burnet K. Maybank, of
South Carolina, was elected in 1912
as the successor to Secretary Of
State James +. Byrncs. Maybank
Is not committee chairman but
he IL u member Of such important
committees aS Appropriations, I'm.
migration. Military Affairs, and
Rules.
Georgia elected Senator Richard
Il. Russell to the Senate in 1912
with $3.50 votes. Russell is chair.
man Of the immigration Commit
tee. n member Of Appropriations
where he worked effectively to kill
FEPC, and also a member Of Manu-
features, and Naval Affairs.
In Illinois, in the same year. Sen,

can, had to poll l,5S2,SSI votes to
defeat his Democratic opponent

In the House, Hatton W. Sum

help yourself. For instance, Civil

you where your name stands on a

Let's take advantage Of them,
Joe. II you apply for a Federal
job and your name is placed on a
register, keep dropping around un-
til your name is among the top
three on the list. Then keep a
sharp lookout TO see if your name

Raleigh. June 81. - Earl Cohoon,
veteran legislator from Tyrrell coun-
ty and nominated without opposltlon'
for another term, was visiting around
capitol square this week and as
usual was hipped up about a bridge
over Alligator river and another over
Cloatan sound. The Southern Abe
marie Association in which Cohoon
is an officer, has been plugging
for these bridges ever since the state
eood roads program was inaugurated
s. wears ago. The bridges would
extend u. S. 64 to the Atlantic ocean,
would take about IS miles off the
present travel distance from upstate
10 Roanoke IsluNd. and would tacll-
itate north-south travel along the
coast.
COST - High cost Of construc-
ton has been the chief barrier TO
getting the bridges approved me
bridges and completion of the road
from Fort Landing to Nance Will
cost upwards of a million dollars,
and the highway commission has not
felt justified n spending that amount
OF money on project of this char-
acter. To counter this argument ad-
vocates Of the bridges cite the 1871
highway act requiring the state TO

After the sentences were pro-

attention on the command of their
leader and sang IN loud voices the
first stanza of the Zionist national
hymn. Relatives Of the defendants,
who jammed the court room, par
tiCipated in the singing.
After the singing, an exciting
scene followed when several of the
prisoners tried to leave the dock to
say good bye TO their families in the
court room. Police tried to intervene
but several succeeded IN kissing and
embracing them parents or girl
friends.

3, 900 War Brides, Children
Reported Stranded Overseas

At least 5000 "war brides" and
children of American servicemen
are stranded overseas-many OF
them the victims of deliberate
desertions on the part of hus-
bands and fathers-the War De-
partment revealed today.
Maj. Gen. Edmond H. Leavey
chief of transportation, pointed out
the women and children cannot be
brought to the United States at
Army expenses unless the husbands
and fathers concerned make specific
requests in writing.
OF the 5000 women and children
who would be eligible for trans
portion if their papers we're in Or
der, about $500 are in the United
Kingdom, 1000 on the European
continent and 500 in Australia and
other Pacific areas.
May Withdraw Ships.
So marked has been the drop in
the number of dependents processed
properly and awaiting transporta-
ton that Gen. Leavey said it may
be necessary to withdraw some of
the "a bride ships from this serv-
ice. The War Department said that
authorities are "at a loss to explain
this unexpected development"
In the case of the stranded 5000
officials had various explanations

Many others are probably unaware
that their papers are not in order,
or their wives overseas have not been

naire. On the other hand, some of
the wives have used their woman s
prerogative to change their minds
about their husbands.
19 Ships on Atlantic.
At the beginning of the program
it was estimated that approximately
10000 women and children would
require transportation To accom-
plish this, 10 ships with a total
capacity of 14,456 passengers were
assigned to the Atlantic service and
five ships capable of carrying 3,415,
piled the Pacific.
From February through March
81, POSTS dependents arrived in the
United States-14,966 women and
5,709 children. An additional 30,183
dependents in Europe have been ap-
proved for transportation and will
be debarked at New York in April,
May and June. On the Pacific side
10000 dependents will have arrived
at San Francisco by June.
The War Department is at a
loss to know what to do about the
5000 wives and children remaining
stranded overseas, except to try to
get the facts to the husbands and
fathers concerned.

Truman Studies Legislation
To Merqe Armed Services

President Truman today discussed
his plan to merge the armed serv-
ices with members of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, who
showed him the framework of a
law that will work." according to
Chairman Thomas of Utah.
Chairman Thomas told reporters
that the President did not indicate
his reaction to the legislative pro-
posal but that he hoped to have
some word for them soon.
Senator Thomas was accompanied
to the White House by Senator
Austin, Republican, of Vermont and
members of the committee advisory
staff.
The draft of the law discussed this
morning, Senator Thomas said, was
the ninth that had been framed
by the subcommittee which has
been at work on this measure. Sen
ator Thomas said it embodies "an
entirely new principle"
