ate 10 serve the unexpircd term
Of the late Senator Theodore G.,
Bilbo.
MI. Colmer Is serving his sew
cnth term IN the House Of Repre-
sentatives from Mississippi's 49,

trict, and enters the Senate race
as the fourth announced candi-
date.
Previous announcements for
the office have been made by
Forrest Jackson. of Jackson;
Congressman John S. Rankin Of
Tupelo, and Judge John Stennis
OF DeKalb.
Mr. Colmcr's formal statement
follows:
after consultation with many
good Mississippians throughout
the state, | have decided 10 make
the campaign for the unexpired
term of the late and lamentcd
Senator Bilbo, and at the same
time to crafty a lifelong ambi-
ton to serve In the Senate OF the
United States.
During my fourteen years
service in the House as the rep
resentative of that large section
Of Mississippi embraced In the
Sixth Congressional District, |
have looked forward. after ac-
curing the necessary legislative
experience, to representing my
native state In that august body,
where ones opportunity for eff
fective and constructive service
Is greater.
Pride In Record
II take humble pride In the
record that | have made in the
House and the national recogni-
ton that | have received in that
body, | feel that | have won my
spurs and that the record ! have
made iustifies me in asking the
good people of my state TO eie-
vate me to the position which I
now seek. Moreover, | believe
that my service In the lower
House Of the Congress has DEM
onstrated my ability TO work with
my colleagues and with all groups
IN Mississippi.
1T Is obvious that there can
be no conflict between the as
pirants for this high office during
the coming campaign on the ques-
ton of white supremacy and our
Southern way OF life. My own rec
ord on this Is well-known. II has
not been one of lip service as the
record will show. As a member
Of the powerful rules committee
OF the House II was my privilege
only last year to join with four
other Southerners on that key
committee TO prevent the iniqui-
tous, so-ealled FEPc bill from
reaching the floor Of the House.
my platform for this high Of
flee will be released at a later
date. Il will be my purpose to
discuss, from the stump, that
platform and the issues which
now confront the people Of Mis-
sissippi and the nation in a world
suffering from the economic. Do
and social unrest that al
ways follow in the wake Of a
great war.

RUSSIA HAS TROUBLE IN
 SHIP PACT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-lR- State Department officials disclos- ed today that Russia has acknow- ledged difficulties" in carrying out Big Three agreement to destroy her share of damaged German war ships.
 Responding to American and Brit ish inquiries, Moscow voiced as surances, however, that steps were being taken to carry out her part of the bargain reached at the l945 Potsdam conference.
 The Department officials said both the United States and Brit ain had carried out their commit ments to sink or otherwise destroy the damaged Nazi' vessels allotted to them for the purpose.
 Topping the list of the captured vessels the Russians were to des- troy was Germany's single aircraft carrier, the Graf K Zeppelin. Whether this flat top was among the craft whose destruction has met with "difficulties" was not reveal ed.
 The Pctsdam conference decided that surface vessels remaining from the battered German fleet which were in operating condition of could be repaired within six months should be divided equally among the three powers. Thirty U-boats were. also included in the division.
 Other vessels were placed in a category to be destroyed. These were assigned individually to the three powers for the purpose and time schedules set up.
