NOW here is what YOU can do.
Because the final decision on get.

Senate, you must let your Sena-

way to do this is by swamping
them with petitions demanding
that they "Oust Bilbo." These
petitions, together with "Oust
Bilbo" buttons and posters can
be obtained by writing to the
Civil Rights Congress, EOS East

Facing the certainty of death
within a few hours, Gabriel Peri
wrote:
LET my friends know that 1
have remained faithful to the
ideal of m.y life, let my country
men know that am going to
die so that France may live!
"FOR THE last time, have
looked into my conscience. The
result is positive. If had to be-
gin my life over again, l would
follow the same road. Tonight
more than any other night be-
lieve that my dear friend Paul

In a little while I am going to

I feel myself strong in the face
of death. Goodby, and long live
France!"
Such were the last words of a
man who called himself Com
munist, and knew that no proud
err title had ever been conferred
by mankind. In an introduction TO
this last testament of mis-, Louis
Aragon, the famous French writ
er, also a member of the French
Communist Party, says:
Sat dawn on December 15,
1871, Peri faced his execution
ers. The German guns took
aim. He sang. The strains of
the MARSEILLAIISE rose i'm
the early dawn. The first vol
ley sent him to his knees. Then
his whole generous life poured
from his lips, and he who sang
for France now sang for all
humanity. He was singing the
INTERNATIONAL, with words
by Potter who was also q son
of France, when the second
burst of German rifles siIenced
his voice forever. Thus ends the
story of Peri"
y y
so YOU see why the French
Communist Party is called the
Party of Martyrs. Then I think
you will also be able to under
stand why the French people
gave their votes to this party =
the only party which ever placed
humanity above partisan cause.

What can we do about it?
We can at least get him thrown
out of the Senate!
Investigators working for the
Civil Rights Congress in Missis-
sippi have uncovered evidence
proving that Bilbo violated the
U. S. Constitution by using ter
rorist methods to deprive quail
fled Negroes of the right to vote.
AS an example of how Bilbo
has brought fascism to America,
here is one of the sworn af-
fidavits by a Negro who attempt
ed to vote in the last Mississippi
primary election:
"Gulfport-On Tuesday, July
2, 1916, 1 went to the City Hall
along with my wife, Mrs.,
registered voter, to east my
ballot AS 1 started toward
the polls i'm the east wing cor.
ridOr of the City Hall, was
stopped by a white man who in
formed me that my people
couldn't vote today but would
have to come back tomorrow.
When he stopped me this white
man held his arm out in front
of me. AS he talked to me
about ten or fifteen other white
men came over and started
beating me.
"The white man who had
first approached me had been
in the company of these men
before he came over to me.
This group of men beat me un.
til became unconscious. When
1 canoe to, 1 was on the porch
of the City Hall. My wife was
screaming and pleading with
the policeman to stop the
men from beating me further.
"My wife was also beaten
about the face and showed
away from the building. When
I started back into the building
to get my hat which had been
left inside, one of the white
men drew q knife on me and
told me not to go inside. He
told me that If I did / would
not come back alive"
MANY such affidavits have
been gathered. On the basis of
them, fifty courageous Negro
and white Mississippians defied
violence at the hands of Bilbo's
henchmen by petititioning the u.
S. Senate to investigate his cam
paign in the primaries and to re-
fuse to seat him.
AS a result of this petition, the
Senate Campaign Expenditures
Committee has sent two investi-
gators to Mississippi. They viii

It has been g great satisfaction to writers, reporters and editors in the past few years referring to the ef- fleets of sulfa drugs and penicillin as miraculous. Forty years ago writers, reporters and editors en- ioyed a similar thrill referring to the one-shot cure for syphilis (606 or salvarsan) as miraculous. Nobody ever even mentions salvarSan any more, Strange how we people react to exploitation.
 Now let's put all our cards on the table. First, I will concede for the nonce that you are not a dumbjohn if you will concede that 1 know enough to talk about these mira cle" medicines.

Oiled Hands Are Quickly Cleaned
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Oil rubbed lightly and sparingly over housework- -begrimed hands makes embedded dirt easier to float off. Mineral oil--any common var iety-will do to use before you dunk hands into suds. It helps soap do more than a surface job of cleansing.
 That's 8 tip for the woman who says she keeps tossing protective gloves aside because they hamper her movements.
 If you can't stand to have your touch blunted by gloves-they're your best protection against win- ter-dry skin, chipping nails or charwomafl's knuckles-wear cream under your gloves. The plus value will be something to show in hands when they flutter over a tea table or finger bridge cards.
 Putting your creamed hands to bed in pair of protective gloves even If they do make you look like MT. Bones in the minstrel show--is the best way to make hard-working hands look like a parnpered pair.

 l have read the manuscript which Sergeant Kabateck gave you for Safe-keeping when your company arrived in Australia and thank you for having sent it to me. It may interest you to hear that upon finishing 1t my curiosity was aroused regarding the outcome of the shooting of BOggiO. From the records I was able to obtain learned that Kabateck gave himself up to the police and was later tried and acquitted.
 Since your last letter, the cita- tiOnS and medals you recommend ed for your men for their gal- lantry in the Buna action have either been awarded to them or sent to their next of kin.
 However, the Distinguished Service Cross you asked for Serg- cant Kabateck remained here be. cause we could not find anyone to send it to. As you mentioned, he had no relatives.
 For awhile I was in a quandary regarding the disposition to make of the decoration, but since read ing the manuscript a solution presented itself.
 Last week I had occasion to go to New York. made inquiries at several hospitals and finally lO- oated the one I was looking for. am sure you will be pleased to know that the infOrmatiSs, I re- guested was available and that the Distinguished Service Cross awarded pOsthumOusIy to Sgt Leo Kabateck now rests on the grave of the girl he called Mickey"

 No one, I imagine, can wish, hope and pray for 8 miracle more earn estly or more frequently than does the doctor the lowly family doctor, particularly when he or she en- counters grave illness, injury or deformity in child. But I know well enough from experience that in order to do his or her very best for the patient the doctor must put such vain yearning aside and do the best he can. There are no miracles in medicine
 Readers please take notice: I do not want to hear and I shall not try to read much less reply to any re- ports of miracles or miracles. I'll believe medical miracle can happen when I see 1t never other- wise.

 Son, IS, 5 it 10, l50 pounds likes to play baseball. School doctor said he has slight murmur. Family doc tor said the same. Please advise if he can play ball. (M. M0
 Answer-So far as the "murmur" is concerned certainly he can. Why not give the boy the benefit of medi- cal advice? Neither Of tAe alleged doctors" you quote has done so ap- parently. If there is any real heart trouble ('murmur" doesn't mean any thing in particular) the boys lifetime well being and efficiency will depend on the care he takes of himself and his heart. That may necessitate a certain amount of graduated exercise, including base ball playing, walking, and other ac- tivitieS, all under the supervision of his physician. If you asked whether the boy or any boy in his teens, can play football, the answer would 'oe an unqualified NO.
