WASHINGTON (ANP)- Wan
ma know what Cong. Cox of
Georgia thinks of New York's rep
resentative Jacob Javits? He pol
itely told the members Of the
House what he thought of the New
York liberal last Tuesday after
Mr.. Javits had made one of his
famous civil rights speeches:
After addressing the Speaker Of
the House, Mr.. Cox proceeded in
this manner: The frequent
appearances on the floor of the
gentleman from New York with
his civil-rights statements reminds
me of something I heard in a
moving-picture house down town
a few months ago. Two men Were
talking and one said to the other,
You know, 1 am SO tired of my
job I don't know what to do
"The second man asked, What
is there about your job that you
don't like?' and the first man
said, Having to look at a horse
all the time.'
"The second replied, why,
that's funny; I can't think Of any
thing more pleasant to look at
than a horse
"But, said the first man, of.
but you see I drive a dray."
This colloquy was brought on
by Mr.. Javits' reminder to the

Congressman that the first session
of the 81st congress was about
to close without having accom-
plished a single thing regarding
the great plank of civil rights
which was included in the Demo-
cratic party platform and was so
emphasized in the Presidents
campaign.
Reading the box score on these
issues, declared the New Yorker,
nothing more was done in this Con-
gress than in the 8Oth land it is
fair to add, too, that the Republi-
can platform also promised civil
rights actions"
He pointed out that the legis-
lation for a Fair Employment
Practice commission had been re-
ported to the House by the Com
mittee on Education and Labor,
and not acted on either in the
House or the Senate. 1t still rests
in a pigeonhole.
"Poll tax, as a qualification for
voting, passed the House and was
not acted on in the Senate, con-
tinued Mr.. Javits.
"Anti-lynching legislation was
reported out by a Senate com
mittee. No action was taken on it.
I either in the House or in the Sen
ate.
"The provision for District home
rule is on a discharge petition or
the speakers desk, and. nothing
has happened to that, either in the
House or in the Senate"
