ST. LOUIS-St. Louis citizens
adopted by a l05,502 to So, 2l6
vote in primary elections here
a Progressive Party rent control
ordinance authored by Mrs. Mar
garet Bush Wilson, Negro attor-
ney and congressional candidate
of the Henry Wallace party.
The victory climaxed years
fight begun last July when, on
the heels OF the Is per cent in
crease allowed by Congress, May
or Kaufman declared that the
rent ordinance, then proposed by
Mrs. Wilson on behalf of the Pro-
eressive Citizens OF America. was
unconstitutional.
Within SO hours Mrs Wilson
and Wallace supporters started a
campaign to put the rent ordi-
nance up to the voters by ref
erendum. BY the end OF August,
after the st. Louis Property Own
ers first began to collect opposi-
ton signatures and then abandon
ed their move, the Wallace group
had obtained $4,000 signatures
Real estate owners are now ex-
pected to start legal fight to
keep the ordinance from being
made effective Mrs. Wilson said
the Progressive Party would use
all its power to see that 1t is
enforced and that st. Louis rents
are kept down.

White Denounces
Failure TO Pass
Rights Measures

NEW YORK-Failure of the
Special Session of Congress to
pass the anti-poll tax bill or en-
act any civil rights legislation
in the face of the southern fill
buster was characterized by Wal
ter White, NAACP secretary as
an "abject and unnecessary sur
render to reaction and defeatism."
On his return to New York to-
day after spending the major part
of his time in Washington during
the special session, Mr.. White de-
nounced the "scuttling Of the civil
rights program by Dixiecrats with
the aid OF the Republicans who
refused to accept their response
bility, as the majority party, Of
keeping the Senate in continuous
sessions in a genuine effort to
break the southern blockade"
Mr.. White warned that the pro-
posal to amend the Senate rules
to permit cloture on all business
before the Senate would be in.
effective unless accompanied BY
the provision that cloture may be
invoked by majority vote rather
than the two-thirds now required.
He urged all NAACP branches
and other organized groups to
obtain written commitments from
all senatorial candidates that they
will vote for amendment Of the
Senate rules to permit cloture on
all matters before the Senate on
majority vote. Similar commit
ments. he said, should be deman-
ded also of all incumbent sena-
tors
