New York, Aug. 5.-Fa1lure
of the Special Session of Con-
gress to pass the anti poll tax
bill or enact any civil rights
legislation inthe face Of the
southrn filibuster was charact-
erized by Walter White, the
NAACP secretary as an "ab-
ject and unnecessary surrend.
er to reaction and defeatism."
On his return to New York
after spending the major part
Of his time in Washington DUR
ing the special session, Mr..
White denounced the "scuttl-
ing Of the civil rights program
by Dixiecrats with the aid Of
the Republicans who refused
to accept their responsibilities,
as the majority party, Of keep
ing the Senate in continuous
sessions in a genuine effort to
break down the southern block
ade."
Mr.. White warned that the
proposal to amend the Senate
rules to permit cloture on all
business before the Senate
would be ineffective unless ac-
companied by the provision
that cloture may be invoked
by majority vote rather than
the two-thirds now required.
He urged all NAACP branch
es and other organized groups
to obtain written commitments
from all senatorial candidates
that they will vote for amend
ment of the Senate rules to per-
NIT cloture on all matters be-
fore the Senate on majority
vote. Similar commitments, he
said, should be demanded also

NEW ORLEANS TEACHER
WINS EQUAL PAY SUIT

New Orleans, Aug. 5-The
NAACP'S five-year fight for
equalization Of teachers sal
aries in Louisiana was re-
warded with victory when
Federal District Judge Herbert
w. Christenberry ruled un-
constitutional the prevailing
salary differentials based On
race.
In decision handed down
on July so, Judge Christenber-
ry signed a consent decree
equalizing the salaries Of white
and Negro teachers in Jeffer-
son Parish, La. The judge held
that the official policy of the
school board which paid lesser
salaries to colored teachers
than to white instructors with
the same qualification was un-
constitutional insofar as such
determinations are predided
on race, creed, or color"
The case originated in
March 1913, when Miss Eula
Mae Lee, through NAACP at.
torneys Thurgood Marshall of
New York and A. P. Tureaud
Of New Orleans, filed a COM
plant against the Jefferson
Parish school board on her
own behalf and on behalf Of
other teachers similarly stu
ated. Miss Lee was discharo-
