prove Section of the bill, a declaration of racial equality which Democratic foes claimed was a political stump talk, aimed at further dividing the Democratic party"
 However, when the Judiciary Committee met behind closed doors, Gwynne and Fellows joined the Democrats in close vote to delete Section l.
 Let's confine this to an anti lynching bill and leave out poli- tical stump talk, aimed at South ern states, which has no place in legislation" demanded Democrat Francis Walter of Pennsylvania.
 COP Representative Clifford Case of New Jersey, the bills author, contended that Section l was writ ten on the advice of experts" who felt that a preamble was neces- sary.
 T don't care who wrote it." per- sisted Walter, a Northern Demo- cart. Its inflammatory: doesn't belong in the bill"
 Republican Dewitt of Minnesota offered the motion to kill the crimes against property" provis- ion. This would have made it a violation of the anti-lynch bill for two or more persons to conspire to injure the property of another. The motion carried over hot op- position from Republicans Case and John Jennings of Tennessee, who insisted that if it was wrong to lynch man, it also was wrong to wreck his store or his home. ,
 T submit again that this is irrel- evant to the problem of prevent ing lynchings," broke in Walter of Pennsylvania. This is either an anti-lynching bill or it isn't. Let's hew to the line"
 The Republicans also had to ac- cept defeat on a provision that federal grants in aid be withheld from any state if town or com munity therein refused to pay a judgment to heirs of lynch vic- tim.
 This was stricken out on mo- ton by Democrat Walter, again supported by COP Congressmen Gwynne and Fellows.
 "A state would be penalized for lynching committed within it's borders by out-of-state thugs un- der this provision objected Dem- ocrat Fadjo Cravens of Arkansas
 Could an appropriation for hot lunches for school children be withheld from state where a lynching judgment is not paid?' inquired Fellows

Treaty with Italy
(New York Times


 As discussion in Congress centers more and more what effect the Marshall Plan will have on the economy of the United States apt to lose sight of what it can do and already has done for Europe There obvious change in the European economic climate. One result is the treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation which this country has signed with Italy.
 Had there been Marshall --:1I, .s doubtful whether would have this treaty. The young Italian Republic seemed to be weak indeed when 1t expelled it's Communist Ministers from the Cabinet Then came Secretary Marshalls encouraging proposal to create atmosphere of hope in which resistance to the Communists steadily strengthened Since the Comnform declared cpen warfare on the Plan, the intensified Communist attacks have apparently only increased it's appeal Italy will reap the benefits te which she is entitled friendly state The new pact binds her closely to the western democracies.
 similar trend is apparent in France To meet the requirements of the Marshall Plan that nation having oosened the Communist control of its labor movement, is now trying to put it's financial house in order. France and Italy are the key nations of Europe The best hope of peace and progress lies in the revival of the sixteen countries that have em- braced the Marshall Plan It. would be a disaster indeed if, mstrustng strength, should rustrate that hope and deny nourishment to roots well planted.

 Speaker Joe Martin and other COP leaders had decided at pre- vious secret caucus to make the anti-lynch law applicable to crimes against property as well as persons Also, they decided to ap-
