Democrat, Of New York, last Thurs
day took to task Representative
John f. Rankin, Democrat, Of Mis-
sissippi. the garrulous leader Of the

floor Of the House as a forum 10
reflect upon the character Of Eu-
gene Meyer. publisher Of the Wash
ington Post, Mr.. Celler said the
Mississippian had shown again his
fair for Observation-Disclosures Of
freedom Of opinion.
Mr.. Celler said Rankin had used
the word Jewish" to eonnote OPP
probrium and contempt and that
he feared the Mississippian "just
cannot take IT," He said Rankin
gets rather excited whenever any
one disagrees with him." adding
that "the right Of disagreement is
a precious right In our land"
Rankin Sheds Crocodile Tears
For Negroes and Jews
The remarks Of Mr.. Celler were
provoked by Rankin's charge that
he was tired Of being maligned and
lied about by the Washington Post
"a Jewish newspaper" which was
doing the Jews Of this country
more harm, the Negroes Of Wash
ington more injury, and the white
people Of the District Of Columb'a
