SENATE:
Dixie Sees Red

When Senator Bilbo's bitter per-
sonal enemy, James o. Eastland,
also Of Mississippi, rose in the SEN
ate to denounce the move to unseat
his unpopular colleague, he was ex-
pressing the apprehension Of every
southern senator lest the move set
a precedent against conservative
members from Dixie.
Although Bilbo was temporarily
barred because of an investigat-
ing committees charge that he had
accepted favors from war contrac-
tors, the real impetus to the move
was furnished by liberal groups
opposed to Bilbo because Of his
fight against the fair employment
practices act and poll tax, and his
encourag cement Of discrimination
against Negro voters.
While Bilbo was the immediate
target because Of his nationwide
reputation, the issue touched south
ern senators from all white su-
premacy" states. Charging that lib
eral pressure groups were working
for Bilbo's debarment, Senator FL
lender Dem., Lao cried: "Topple
him off and find out what Is going
to happen to others who share his
views and courage"

Wonen's Skirts

Unlike the hairdo, the Seminole
skirt and cape haven't changed ex-

intricate with the advent Of colored
textiles. They likewise have become
less difficult to create, thanks to
the hand-driven sewing machine.
This gadget long since has been as
common in tepee, hogan or even

The skirts are made Of parallel

I found only Sam Huff, reputed
to be medicine man as well as
the handy man at the school, wear

the blouse. Some say Sam clings to
this outfit merely because of his
love for the past; others say it may
have something to do with his spe-

there is whisper that it is badge
OF repentance or punishment for
some past sin. Sam is a grand

The younger men save their CAV
shirts for dress up occasions (the
annual green corn dance and the

adopted modern trousers. Their

are bound by metal or wooden

on Agent Boehmer, his wife re-
counted how greatly-excited In

doorstep to announce his pressing
desire that Boehmer come to the
Seminole camp-a 100 rods or so
distant-to kill rattler.
Boehmer obliged. He carefully
avoided carrying the corpse through
the camp "a Seminole Taboo, and
he noted the usual fire lighted at
the point where the victim fell. AS
usual, the Indian children had CO.
operated with him, without actively
participating in the execution.
There are two explanations as to
why the Seminoles would not them
selves kill the snake. One is that
once in the past the Seminoles were
ordered by the White Man to leave
Florida for points west. They pre-
pared to remain even though it
meant retiring deep into the Ever
glades. However they decided it
would be a good idea for both
parties if they made treaty with
the snakes. They did so on a live

Or it may have been one Of those
common sense arrangements en-

Another Interpretation may be
that when a white man attacks the
rattler, the chances are that if any,
one is bitten, it would not be an
Indian. I understand Seminoles do
