threatened to rebel. These were the
issues:
Congress for years had considered
lanti-poll tax and anti-lynch bills
urged by Northern pressure groups.
Some Southern States required pay
ment of poll or head tax-S1 or 81
a year-before a person could vote.
Northerners contended this restrict
Led voting privileges.
No Anti-Lynch Bill Passed.
More than 200 anti-lynch bills
have been in Congress since 1900.
None ever has passed Some got
through the House but were fill
bustered to death in the Senate.
Roosevelt came out against the
poll tax. Some Southern Democrats
decided they had had enough of the
New Deal. and especially its civil
rights program. Three States,
Texas, South Carolina and Missis-
sippi, had anti-R Roosevelt electors on
the ballot, but they made only a
small dent in the pro-Roosevelt
vote in those states.
President Truman was the first
President to include civil rights"
program In a special message to
Congress. And, for the first time,
anti-lynch and anti-poll tax leg
islation are considered to have a
reasonable chance to get through
Congress.
How does the 194S Southern re-
volt compare with that Of 1928?
"Grass Roots" Revolt.
In 1928 only two party leaders,
Senators Simmons Of North Caro-
lima and Heflin of Alabama, failed
to 60 along-publicly, at least-with
AL Smiths candidacy. The revolt"
of the South was a grass roots"
revolt of the voters themselves.
This time it's the Southern party
leaders who are talking up the re-
volt. They say the people won't
stand for the Truman civil liberties
program.
This, Of course, remains to be
demonstrated. but If true it would
mean that the South is revolving
over q moral issue. A compromise
with Mr.. Truman might sidetrack it,
but White House officials say the
President won't compromise.
Some historians contend that the
most dangerous of any political
split is one over a moral issue and
along a geographical line.

Tourists mean more than in

Ten Negroes, represented by David

2CI0 Officials Fear
World Union Split
On Marshall Plan
Ry thu Asseeiated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 28.-Two Of
cials of the American Congress
of Industrial Organizations said
tonight they feared the World
Federation of Trade Unions
might "split wide open" over the
Marshall Plan.
The two CIO leaders-James B.
Carey, secretary-treasurer, and Mi
chael Ross, head of the interna-
tional department-returned today
from Moscow. While, In Moscow
they worked out an agreement with
Russian union leaders for discus
sions on the European Recovery
Program.
Russians Reverse Stand.
In agreeing to such discussions,
the Russian unions reversed their
previous stand. Mr.. Carey and Mr..
Ross said, however, their fears of
a split In the World Federation of
Trade Unions CWFTU) were not en-
tirely allayed by the agreement.
The Moscow radio represented the
Russian action as concession. Mr..
Carey and Mr., Ross said they are
not certain Oft the Russian attitude
and are not convinced the Russians
are making any concession.
Before going to Moscow early this
week, Mr.. Carey said there was a
critical situation in the WITH aris-
ing from a cancellation Of q Paris
meeting this month on the Marshall
Plan. Russian delegates led the op-
position to the meeting.
Situation Still Critical.
"The situation is still critical" :"
Mr.. Carey said. "The Russians think
they made a concession by agreeing
to discussions. However, no date
was set. Now there will be a meet
ing in London March of unions Of
the western nations affected by the
Marshall Plan. The real Russian at
titude may be clear when 1t is seen
what they have to say about this

The general meeting of the WITH

uled in April. Mr.. Carey and Mr..
