Are You
 Charming?

The lady went to a charm school and she needed it! The head of the school analysed her appearance, poise and manners and they were faultless-but she had no charm! There was a list of faults to be corrected:
 Gal Conversation a monologue. (b) Too correct in speech and at
 titude.
 Co Stiff and cold-a poor listen CT.
 It's hard to realize it, but per haps you also hold forth in con- versation too long or speak on dull subjects. If you're too cor rect others feel wary of hurting your ear with their slang or amaz- ing you with unconventional ideas. And if you're stiff and cold, you freeze others no matter how presentable you are or how well-mannered.
 The charming are gracious, hospitable and friendly. They act interested in you the moment you meet them. You feel so at ease that you believe you've al- ways known them. They are gay and open-hearted. They make you bring out your own charm in response.

DOWN THE LINE

Whatever the extent of the
 confusion which resulted from
 the awarding of prizes at the
 summer inaugural dance of the
 Vets organization, it is now well
 on the way to clarification. Ex-
 tensive plans are being formula
 ted which will give complete satis-
 faction to all and sundry of the
 disgruntled with formal an-
 nouncements and necessary de-
 tails to be supplied almost on the
 heels of this issue. In all fairness
 to the Vet, it must be admitted
 that analytical discussion has
 clearly indicated that they are in
 the clear in so far as integrity of purpose and design is concerned.
 Miss Arango, too, is entirely . free from any suggestion of in- trigue.
 Mrs. Wiley's photo was to have been entered simultaneously as has been indicated in a previous paragraph and would have been so entered except for the fact that the only available photo of her at press time was full length one. In view of this, it was thought that the young lady could be presented to her better advantage in a later photo more suitable both to herself and the space allowed for the photo cut it. itself. No effort is being made to minimize actual error Blame too, might and would be placed, if the situation were one where blame as such were an important factor. However, since blame and retaliatory suggestion seem less material and relevant than courteous explanation which must remain somewhat vague be- cause of incipient planning-it is hoped by this column that the need for prosaic apologies will be absorbed in joyful anticipation of self-explanatory events to follow later. MT. William E. Jackson, local distributor of all Negro newspa- pers has just returned from the second annual convention of the National Negro Distributors Asso- citation, where he was the sole ac- credited representative for the New England area.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is (ANP)
-FEPC died an ignominious death
when eight Republican senators
joined with southern Democrats
and failed to vote for cloture Upon
failure to obtain limited debate,
Sen. Chavez, sponsor, Immediately
withdrew his pending bill, thereby
keeping the measure off the cal
endar of the senate for some time
yet.
In commenting on the failure of
the senate to invoke cloture, Cha
vez dejectedly said, 81 am perfect
ly satisfied. am also satisfied with
the crucifixion of Christ. The Civil
War proved that this country can
not be divided country. America
will go on, but we cannot have one
country for the south and one coun-
try for the north and one for the
rest"
The eight defaulters from the
ideals of the Republican party as
expressed only as recently as

in 80 days of wasting time.
Since 1917, filibusters in the sem
ate have resulted in 22 motions to
invoke cloture, but only four sue
ceeded.
The 1000 gallery seats were
filled to capacity Friday and about
200 spectators were standing.
Many others milled around in the
halls eager to learn the fate of a
measure which has attracted pop
ular support despite the declara-
tions of office holders that ''it is
not the will of the people,"
The fact that the bill was intend
ed to give direct relief to Negroes
as the largest minority in the Unit
ed States was the prime notice for
it's defeat. With the majority of
Negroes residing in the south, this
bill would have forced southerners
to toss away old traditions and GUS
toms and begin to live anew in an
enlightened era.
That many Republicans voted
for cloture did not mean that they
would have voted for the FEPC
measures passage. However, this
did not excuse those who voted
against the motion for cloture as
it would have produced further
showdown in the political arena.

MARVA LOUIS SERVES AS

CHICAGO, Feb. IA (ANP) =
Mrs. Marva Trotter Louis, former

cans, paired with others in the vot-
ing, were Alexander Wiley of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis.,, and Senator
Young. Both voted against cloture
Thus died the hope of the Negro
that the expressions of the Repub-
licans were sincere and that there
was hope of voting for cloture even
though men like Taft had frequent
ly said they would not vote for the
measure itself.
On Thursday night, Republican
leaders devoted much time to the
Negro question with Rep. Luce de-
voting her entire address to the
problems of the Negro. Mrs. Luce
advocated the FEPC, but there was
apparently a difference in the gen
eral thinking in the party.
Only eight votes were needed to
carry cloture through the terrific
fight being waged against the leg
islation. And those eight were of
the party which said the Negro had
to be protected.
Besides the eight votes outright
against the measure, those who hid
in "pairings' showed the string
pulling that had gone on behind
the scenes and the hypocritical atti-
tude of party leaders in misleading
the Negroes into thinking that the
FEPC legislation was must on
the Republican agenda.
Lined up solidly against the bill
were senators from the southern
states who had said all along they
were against voting for cloture.
Twenty-eight of these die-hards
plus the eight Republicans mus
tered sufficient opposition to pre-
vent the two-thirds required from
being counted.
What happens now is a matter
of conjecture. For four weeks, the
bitter enders have fought the in
PRODUCTION of FEPC legislation in
the senate and even proponents Of
the measure criticized Chavez for
calling up the bill in the senate be-
fore it could be brought up in the
house.
Not satisfied with voting against
the bill, Sen. Milliken of Colorado,
Republican, addressed the body for
an hour, praising a speech by Sen.
Russell of Georgia, declaring the
Georgian's speech should be ere
quired reading for public schools
of the nation"
