ton Of Theodore G. BilbO.
In the Bilbo case, testimony and
documentary evidence before the
Senate War Investigating Com
mittee indicates that during the
war period Bilbo received substan-
tial benefits from war contractors.
He accepted as gifts a Cadillac
sedan, valued at $1,9O6.67, and
house furnishings valued at $500
or more. He also allowed war con
tractors to improve his estate at
Poplarville, Mississippi, by con
structing an artificial lake and
island, a swimming pool and by
painting his home. The total cost
of these improvements was at least
$6,G5S.4O.
The contractors billed BilbO for
these services, but BiIbo has not
made any payments for these i'm
prOvements, other than an alleged
5000 on the painting bill, since the
services were rendered in l941 and
1912, nor have the contractors
made any efforts to collect.
In it's report on Bilbo's dealing
with Mississippi war contractors,
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee said:
THE committee is convinced
from the testimony and circum-
stances that the benefits conferred
on Senator Bilbo as improvements
to his real estate, which Senator
Bilbo and these war contractors
now seek to treat as an indebted,
ness now payable by Senator Bilbo,
were not bona fide transactions in
the ordinary course Of business,
but, on the other hand, were an at
tempted subterfuge to conceal the
donation Of funds in payment for
services rendered to them by Sen.
atOr Bilbo.
Also during the war period, BilbO
allowed Michael T. MOrrissey, a
war contractor, to incur loss of
$iS,Oi3.2S in the operation Of Bill
bO's farm.
In the summer and fall Of 1912,
Bilbo received the sum Of 100000
from three war contractors. These
funds were said to have been used
by an informal" committee, of

year ago, February 6, 1915:
Softly the stars are cleaning
Upon a pleasant grave.
Where sleepeth without dreaming
One we love but could not save;
He bid no one a last farewell.
He said goodbye to none
And when the evening shades are falling.
And l am sitting all alone.
In my heart comes longing,
II you could only come back home
Oft and oft my thoughts do wander
To your grave not far away,
Where In sorrow we laid you
Just one year ago today.
Sadly missed by Mrs. Martha Jones.

Sunday. Rev. Floyd Massey, Jr., pastor,

the topic Jonah and the Race Problem
He pointed out that the book Of Jonah
has been misunderstood by many who argue
about fish swallowing man. looking upon
IL ~ a parable Of prophecy rather than
historical data. He said the book il out
standing among Old Testament literature.
He explained that Jonah represented mar
rOwness and isolatiOnism. When il came
to carrying God TO the people Of Nineveh,
Jonah rebelled against the idea that God
was Father Of people other than his own.
However. he learned as we must know that
all people are Gods children and when we
become repentRnt and seek God. He receives

WASHINGTON SPOTLIGHT
By Louis Lautier

which Bilbo was a member, in the
1912 political campaign Of Wall
Doxey for the United States Sen
ate in the Mississippi lily-white
Democratic primary. The dona-
ton and solicitation Of political
contributions from government con-
tractors while they are negotiating
or performing such contracts is
prohibited by a federal criminal
statute.
In some instances, the war con-
tractors in making political con-
tributions and in making improve
ments on Bilbo's estate sought to
charge the cost of such contribu-
lions and services as an expense
on their books. The sum Of $2O,-
900 Of a $4,000 political contribu-
ton made by F. T. big Boy New
ton and originally charged direct
ly to war contracts on the books Of
Newton & Glenn. These entries
were charged on their books only
after disallowance either by their
own auditors or by government
agents. The other $4,000 of the
$4,000 contribution was never
located on the contractors books.
Between February -, 1943, and
August 81, l9I5, BilbO also col
lected from many persons, includ-
ing war contractors, contributions
tOtaIing at least $27,5O1.51 for the
building Of a church parsonage on
land he owned. At least $500 Of
this total was collected from war
contractors whom BilbO had aided.
II these dealings by Bilbo with
war contractors can be brought
within the statute Of limitations by
proving a conspiracy, there is no
reason why he should be treated
any differently than May. His in
dictment, conviction and imprison-
ment would be a fitting end to a
career marked by his pandering to
race and religious prejudices of
Ku Kluxers.
