THE FUTURE

THE FUTURE
 All members of the House are facing election campaigns between now and November, and One-third of the Senators also face the end of their terms of office.
 President Truman has challenged the Republican majority to ''pass laws halting rising prices and to meet the housing crisis which they say they are for in their platform"
 The Taft-Ellender- Wagner hOus- ing bill is tied up in the House Rules Committee, which must clear it before it can reach the floor. The bill-principles of which are ap- proved in the COP and Democratic platfOrm-alsO can reach the floor by way of a discharge petition. Rep. Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) and Rep. Helen Cahagan Douglas (D., Calif.) both have been working to obtain the required 2l8 signatures, and claim they already have about 7O%o of that number. The Senate has approved the bill.
 ACTION NEEDED
 If there's quick action by local un- ion, civic, and veterans groups, to im- press on members of the House the vital importance of passing this hous- ing bill, it stands the best chance of passage out of all the measures on President Truman's must" list.
 President Truman IS expected in his message to the special session to in dicate what he wants in the way of flaws to halt rising prices" Neither the Republican nor the Democratic platform spells out any specific legis- lative approach to the price question.
 VITAL MEASURES
 Here are the other vital measures listed by Truman:
 IA national health program. Hearings on health insurance bill have been held in the Senate. No House action.
 2-Civil rights legislation. The House has passed the anti-poll tax bill. The Senate has before it the anti-poll tax bill, the anti-lynching bill, and a permanent FEPC bill.
 3-Increase in the minimum wage. Both Senate and House Labor Committees have held subcommit- tee hearings, but have taken no fur ther action.
 4LExtensiOn of social security cOverage and increased benefits. House and Senate Committees have held hearings, but have taken no further action. On the other hand, Congress did approve bills remov- ing 75O,OOO people from social se- curity.
 5-Funds for public power and cheap electricity projects. Congress refused to provide funds for a vitally needed steam plant for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The power activities of the Interior Dept were drastically curtailed thru fund cuts. These could be re- stored by supplemental appropria- ton.
 6-"An adequate and decent law for displaced persons in place of this anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic law which this Both Congress passed 5 as Truman put the issue to the con- ventiOn.

This Pot Says Kettle Is Black

BOSTON - (FP) - The big boys who've been rolling up the profits in the present inhationary sky-ride are beginning to battle among themselves.

Capitals of all Southern states,
except Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Kentucky, now use
Negro policemen. Within the last
year such cities as Melbourn, Fla,
Atlanta and Macon, Ca; Gastonia,
N. c.; Conway, S. c.; Nashville,
Tenn.;; Cape Charles and Ports
mouth, Pa, have adopted the
policy of using Negro officers. A
number of cities increased the
number of Negro personnel on the
force.
The councils survey pointed out
that zone index to the rapid
spread of the practice in recent
years is the date Negro policemen
were first employed in various
cities. Significantly, 80 out of so
have begun using Negro police
since 1910. Five have employed
them since 1920; nine before 1890;
seven cities first hired Negroes be-
tween 1930-39; IL between 1910
1914, and % between 1945-4S."
