fellow kiWanians ito go home and
think over the thoughtful a n d
effective speech
Monsignor Mcnamara said the
United States would act more
consonantly with its traditions il
legislation such as the Stratton
bill, to permit entry of DPS into
the country, was enacted. AS |
see it," the Monsignor said, "a
person who has suffered evile in
behalf of democracy, would have
less an ism to contribute to the
weller of confusion which besets
our national life today than the
so called native American who
hides his face and his identity and
who is, as yet, to reach the matur-
ity of the founding fathers of our
glorious nation"
After citing the background Of
President Humans civil rights
program, the Monsignor said that
reactions in Dixie was "a hue and
cry that developed into Gre
scendo." He charged that the do
minant note of the crescendo was
the term segregation with its
ugly connotations, reeking with
contradictions. He said the South's
legal pattern of segregation dra-
matizes a flair for making laws
and then disregarding their con-
tent He asked that if the South
has segregation as its laws pro-
claim, how can it be explained
that out of the 100000 Negroes
in the country, not more than
100000 are biologically Negro
in the full sense of the term" He
continued: do you wonder that
the inks under the budren of the
legislative pattern or segregation
when he finds the dignity of
motherhood exploited to serve the
passions of those who cry segre-
gation?p
Monsignor Mcnamara told his
audience: I'VE can no longer pro-
fess one thing and act otherwise.
If we believe the principles of
the Declaration and the Bill of
Rights to be truths, solldly es-
tablished on which a government
tai structure can be successfully
reared, then it is highly impera-
tive that our personal and public
relationships reflect these princi-
Piles"
The speaker recalled that in
October, 1913, the Diocesan Coun-
Gil of Catholic Women advocated
to the postwar planning commit
tee of Savannah that Negroes be
allowed to move from the lanes
and alleys of the city to housing
projects, and added that had such

have improved the city's position
in police and health problems.
He recalled that the council al
so proposed Negroes to be ap-
pointed as policemen. This has
been done in a limited way, he
officials said I'VE will take what

The margarine supporters, led by
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, OF
Arkansas, want the bill to 60 to
the Finance Committee where they
think it will win approval. Sen
ator Aiken and the butter hackers
want it to 60 to the Agriculture
Committee.
Margarine hackers are afraid the
bill would die there or be amended
to death, but Senator Aiken SAID
he was sure the committee would
report out the bill by June /, in

rules. The Senator made it clear
he would invite a test vote on his
ruling. thus revealing the relative
strength of the rather evenly
matched dairy and margarine back
ers.
Senator Aiken has sought to avoid
such test on the grounds that a
further split in the farm bloc in
Congress will be harmful to the

considered in the Agriculture Com
mittees of both houses. The House
group is badly split as a result OF

State members have threatened re-
taliation on Southerners from cot :

porting the tax repeal bill.
Senator Aiken suggested that an
amendment be written into the

House, to require either manufac-
ture of margarine in distinctive
shapes or in a different shade OF

sergeants, three corporals, l78 pri-
Yates, one station clerk, "a clerk

the Metropolitan Police Force should
become one of the most efficient in

Most of the new policemen would
be assigned to regular beats on the
