PARIS, July II. (ANP)-Musi-

elist Richard Wright, American
Negroes now making their homes
in France, deplored the bias in the
United States and contrasted it
the freedom they are finding in
France.
The gave their candid opinions
on the topic of bias after reading
that DIR. Ralph J. Bunche refused
a post as assistant secretary of
state because he would have to
undergo the humiliation Of Jim
crow in Washington, D. c., if he
accepted.
At the age of 43, Miss Baker is
drawing capacity crowds at the
Folies Bergere with her dancing
and singing. Speaking of her most
recent trip to the United States
in 1913, Miss Baker declared:
81 had forgotten how things
were. I hadn't even thought of
myself as a colored m for
years. I was absolutely Mortified
by what I saw.
81 had never been in the deep
south, so I went down to Nash
vile where they have all that jim
crow business"
She also expressed her. disgust
at northern hotels for refusing
accommodations to her and her
French husband, 10 Bouillon.
To demonstrate her faith in
France, she told of her 63-year-

Civil Rights Act Of l949 Can be
Passed Before Congress Adjourns

WASHINGTON, July II. GAN
P)-The Civile Rights act Of 1949
can be used by the Congress be-
fore it adjourns this summer de-
clared Elmer w. Henderson, d.
rector of the American Council
on Human Rights.
Testifying before the house ju-
dietary committee last week, Hen
derson pointed out that the ma
jority of the people throughout
the length and breadth of the land
have endorsed the report of the
Presidents committee on civil
rights released nearly two years
ago. Those who opposed it, he con-
tinued, have been "hysterical and
tnreasoning. They have sought
to play upon the fears and preju-
dices Of groups in certain sections
Of the. country rather than meet
this problem squarely."
Henderson, therefore, urged
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-07-11

the house committee to pass this
act Immediately and not be swayed
from it's solemn duty by a dwind-
ling minority Of racists and bigots.
The civil rights bill, introduced
by Chairman Emanuel Celler of
the house judiciary committee,
would abolish segregation and dis
elimination in interstate travel,
prevent interference in voting and
strengthen the statutes against
conspiracy, illegal detention and
conviction without a fair trial. The
bill would also create a commits
sion on civil rights in the execu-
tive branch of the government
and a joint congressional commit
tee on civil rights.
While the bill would also make
the civil rights section of the de-
partment Of justice a full divis-
ion under an assistant attorney
general, Henderson criticized At
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-07-11

torney General Tom Clark for not
appointing a chief to fill the nine
months old vacancy which now ex-
lists in the civil rights section.
A few days prior to his appear
ance before the judiciary commit
tee favoring the passage of the
omnibus civil rights bill, Hender-
son sent letters to all rs members
Of the house committee on educa-
ton and labor expressing his hope
adopt the Observation-Disclosures
that the full committee would
adopt the senate passed federal
aid to education bill, instead of
the bill reported to it by the Bar
den subcommittee.
The director made it clear "the
American Council on Human
Rights represents over $4,000
members many of whom T
teachers and administrators in the
segregated schools for Negroes in
the southern states. 1t is u firm
conviction that any federal aid
bill should contain definite, speci-
fic provisions that these funds
will be spent in an equitable man.
ner between colored and white
schools in the south. Further, that
state and local education monies
should also be distributed equita-
bly, as a requirement for eligibility
for federal funds"
Since the Barden bill contains
no such provisions, it would do no
more than underwrite with fed
eral funds the gross inequalities
that already exist proclaimed
ACHR'S legislative representative.
He suggested that with proper
amendments the senate passed bill
would aid considerable in moving
toward the solution of this prob
lem of inequality in education,
therefore, he urged the committee
to give the senate bill it's fullest
consideration.
