Harness Race
Meet IS At
Halfway Mark

With Fort MiamTs big tall
harness meeting swinging along
at a merry clip and with many
of the fine performances turned
in by the trotters and PAGERS
during this meet, interest is be-
ing focused more and more on
outstanding work of many of
the drivers who are shooting
the flashy fellows home In
front night after night.
AS the meet passes the half
way mark, Ted Aldrich holds
top place among the Fort Miami
drivers with a total of IL points
at the last recording. Bunched
behind him are Herman Boyd
with 80, Foy Funderburk, the
west coast star last spring, with
81, Buck Minnear with 30, Ed
die Barnes with 27, George
France with 27, Chuck Taylor
with 25, Oscar Silvey with %,
Bill Roush with %, Banty Sew
erns with %, Mac McCon-
naughey with 81, Tuffy Ander-
son and Bill Hayworth, each
with 20.
These drivers and m n y
others who are moving fast
after belated starts, will offer
another batch of thrills for an
other expected big turnout of
harness fans of the Toledo area.
AS the meet wears on, compe-
tition between the sulky pilots
is becoming keener and keen
er. With Fort Miami's harness
prestige growing with every big
night of racing, the driving
standings loom important to
those who follow the sulkies.
Post time is 8;15 p. m. with
daily double windows closing at
sos. Bus service remains avail
able to and from the track.

The only reason for championship
listing is that the promoters can up the
cost of the tickets to the highest price. The
records will prove that the fight is just an
ordinary match because Walcott has been
knocked out couple of times and decisively
beaten on other occasions. Maybe it is being
listed as title fight because the Eastern
promoters are worried that other parts of
the country will start taking over the fight

fight publicity agents will
start the rumor that Louis
hasn't fought since last Sep
tember and that he will need
much more time to train and
get in condition. OF course
he will need time to get IN
the pink, but a man as
smart as Louis just doesn' t
take the chance of getting
out of condition. Besides, the
champ won't need too much
conditioning for Jersey Joe.
Let no man underestimate
Joe Louis. He has not lost
his stuff and he is not get
ting too old for this fight. He
still has too much on the ball
for any second rater like Wal
colt. And as for age, Walcott
is as old, or older, than the
champion who has attained
the ripe "old" age of 33.
This fight will be just an
other farce pushed down the
throats of the fans and II
there are any sane bets
around, I'm sure that they
will all be on Joe Louis.

Wouldn't 1t be wonderful
for the pigskin fans to have a
football world series, just like
the baseball extravaganza?

POWER BEHIND TALMADGE
On the evening that Drew Pear
son spoke on the steps of the
capitol of Georgia. in defiance OF
the Ku Klux Klan, | was guest
speaker at an interracial religion
meeting held n the auditorium OF
the Atlanta Chamber of CONNER
ce, right in the centr of Atlanta.
While waiting for my audience
to assemble, l engaged in con-
versation with some white men
and women of the group and |
casually observed that had been
informed that morning that the
Georgia Power Co. -pany and Al
lied interest were backing old
Gene Talmadge and his white
supremacy campaign.
Believe it or not, large group
of whites and blacks came out
to hear me that evening. Most of
them apoligized for what had hap
pened few days ago before =
the election of Gene Talmadge.
One of the white women present
sad tina Their husband worked for
the Georgia Power Company and
that she had no theard anything
from him which would substant-
iante the charge made against it
and allied interests.
1t is rumored that railroads and
big business are backing Herman
Talmadge, pretender to the gov
ernorship of Georgia. That same
charge is being made throughout
the South insofar as the promul
CATION of hate is concerned. For
quite some time, | have been in
terested in finding out if these
charges are true, mainly because
they smell of the sort of thing
which made Hitler a most deStru-
ctive force.
About two years ago, rumor
had it that Subsidiary of the
great United States Steel Corpora
ton was behind the school strike
and near race rot in Gary, Ind
lana. Immediately, | called upon
the director of public relations of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron, and
Railway Company, subsidiary
of TIL L. S. Steel in Birmingham
and asked him to check with the
L. S. Steel subiduary in Gary on
the matter and advise me of his
findings. He did. The charge was
denied. Shortly afterwards the
situation in the Gary schools
cleared up.
In a recent election in Alabama,

linen. There is only one way to
get rid of a deadly snake and
that is by crushing its head. OF
course, you can make him get
rid of himself by constantly pest
ering him until he bites himself
and dies of his own poison.
When you read Southern Elk
poSure," EColor Blind" or Lillian
Smiths writings you get a peek
at such power as is alleged to be
behind the Talmadge and others
manufacturing racists, opposition
to fair employment legislation,
proponents of segregation laws.
The people of the deep South
are deeply grateful to the maya
zines, newspapers, radio common
tatorS and social scientists who
have kept the pitiless light of
publicity turned on the evils OF
the South as we'll as the rest of
the nation. This has, in a mea-
sure, retarded heeffortS of those
who continue TO fight the war
between the states and to doom
colored people to the status of a
servant of hte white man.

2. To give a majority of the
Senate the right to invoke the
rule of relevancy at any time in

In defering his proposal to re-
quire ten calendar days of debate

Pepper said he would rather err
on the side of leniency than on

lor contended that this provision
would allow full discussion"
Senator TAYLOR pointed out that
year ago when the Senate sought
to take up the FEPC bill the fill
buster was addressed to the read
ing of the Journal rather than to
the legislation itself.
Senator Kennth S. Wherry, Re-
publican, Nebraska, presided at
the hearings. The other Repub-
lican members was Senator Irv-
ing M. Ives, New Your. Senator
Carl Halden, Democrat, Arizona,
sat briefly with the subcommittee
but had to leave and his place was
taken by Senator Spessard L. Hol-
land, Democrat, Florida.
The hearings were continued
until next Tuesday when oppon-

be given an opportunity to express
their views. Among those ex-
pected to appear is Senator F.

Senator William F. Knowland, Re-

mend the present Senate cloture
rule by making it applicable to

of senators voting as required by

lenge white supremacy rule in
all the large cities and counties,
except Birmingham.
The silk stocking folla of
Birmingham - the third most inn
portant industrial city in the ma
ton in time of war - voted over
whelming for tn amndmnt. That
was indeed an eye-opener. Who
would have thought that the E.
lite of Birmingham would sup
pert measure introduced by
lawmaker from the infamous
Black Bit section of Alabama,
where in some counties there are
three colored persons to every
white person.
The Alabama News Magazine,
so-called mouth piece of the reac.
tionaries, in commenting on the
election pointed out that for a
long time there had existed a
cleaverage between the industrial
and allied interests and the domi-
nant white landowning group of
the black belt where in many
counties there is said not to be
single colored voter.
1t is very important that the
power, steel, railroad and allied
industrial groups of this nation
get busy and get it uot of the
minds of those who think that
some of these groups are for
mentors of strife, ,raciSm, faciSm,
and white supremacy tomfoolery.
American industry has contri-
buted grea ideal to our standard
of living, but we can not sit by
and permit it to divide, conquer
and enSlave the American people
or so infuriate them that in deS-
peralion they are driven to tear
down the great and good Ameri-
can institutions which it has tax
en- hundreds of years to build up.
If Subversive forces are out to
rob industry of its shirt and then
have it arrested for indecent ex-
posure, a stop should be put to
tn obstructive activities Of these
forces. There is such a thing as
being destroyed by the thing one
builds if one neglectS to see that
what one builds is possessed of
soul and a sense of social res
possibility.
Contrary to many SouthernerS,
| hid that the Walter Winchells,
Drew Pearson, Orson WelleSes
and others can render no greater
service to the nation Than by
keeping the glaring lightof pitileSs
publicity trained on the effects
of unenlightened racists and those
who are out to make money by
dividing and conQuering the
weak.

Urge Curb On
FiIibuster

Washington, D. C. - Two Re-

ators last Tuesday urged a Senate
Rules subcommittee to amend
amend Senate rules so as to pre-
vent filibusters which in the past
twenty-five years have been used
chiefly to block such legislation
as antilynching, anti-poll tax and
fair employment practice.
The four resolutions on which
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1947-02-08

erett Saltonstall, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, would allow debate to
be brought to a close by major
ity vote on any motion or un-
finished business as we'll as the
pending measure.
Senator Claude Pepper, Demo
crat, Florida, favors changing the
present rule by permitting debate
to be brought to a close by
majority of the Senators voting
but would delay the presentation
of a cloture petition until ten cal
endar days of debate have elapsed
on any pending question or meas
ure.
Describing the llibuster as "the
negation Of the legislative pro-
cess" Senator Knowland said 1T
places in the hand of one man
small group of men the power
to strangle the operations of the
Senate" He added that "That
is too much power for any re-
sponsible man to want and it is
far too much power for any ir-
responsible man to have"
Senator Knowland contended
that filibuster Of the threat to re-
sort to one "can be used as
effectively in blocking Senate ac-
ton as is the Russian use of the
veto in the Security Council"
At times he said, the filibuster
has been used as Legislative
blackmail' to bludgeon local APP
preparation out of reluctant
Senate.
"All 1 want is to see the rules
amended in such ways as will
make cloture in the Senate effec-
tive" Senator Saltonstall said in
discussing his resolution.
He said he believed the great
majority of people of this coun-
try want the Senate ito continue
as an open forum, but want it
to be able under it's own rules to
act when action is required by at
least a majority of the members
present"
Senator Pepper denounced the
filibuster as "a threat to the in
stitution of democracy" He said
there were numerous instances
where legislation has been pre-
vented from being taken up by
the Senate by filibuster, although
great majority of the Senate
wanted to consider it. and there
were other instances where legis-
lation had been defeated by a
flibuster when a majority favored
it, "That is contrary to the
spirit of our republic" he de-
clared.
Although not incorporated in
his resolution, Senator Pepper
proposed amendment of the rules.
1. To give a majority of the
Senate the right to determine
what shall be the pending bust
ness of the Senate and to make
motion to take up any subject a
privileged motion with debate on
it limited to a fixed time. Under
such a rule, he said, there would
not be 'the unseemly spectacle
of Senators filibustering a motion
