CONGRESS PUTS
OFF ACTION ON
CIVIL. RIGHTS

Washington, Oct. 3-To adjourn
Congress this month, the Truman
administration today postponed the
big civil rights battle until 1850.
Senate Democratic Leader Lucas
said after a White House confer
ence that probably the first issue
to be tackled when Congress re-
turns in January will be the highly
controversial Fair Employment
Practices Measure.
This is prime item on President
Truman's 10-point plan intended to
assure civil rights of racial, religi-
Gus and other minorities.
House and Senate democratic
policy makers will meet tomorrow
to~outline the rest of the program
fol" this session.
lucas said that Congress might
get out of Washington in two or
three weeks. That would give the
lawmakers some two months be-
fore they return to the grind.
The decision on civil rights APP
PATIENTLY was made with the cer-
tainty in mind that Southern fill
buster would result from any at
tempt to bring up one of these
bills. This would jam any other
pending legislation and end the
session in Democratic uproar.
Lucas put it this way: at seems
doubtful that a prolonged discus
sien of any civil rights bill at this
session would be helpful"

Mississippi Inter-Racial
Marriage Case To
State Supreme Court

Laurel, Miss, Oct. 1.-The case
of Davis Knight, charged with be-
ing Negro and marrying a white
woman tried here last December
without any threat of violence
has been appealed to the State
Supreme Court.
Knight who was sentenced to
five years in prison, is a veteran
of World War Ii who married a
young white woman at Ellisville,
in Jones County in 1916 and was
later arrested on a charge of
miscegenation. Under Mississippi
law no person with one-eighth
Negro blood can marry white
person. Where such a marriage
takes place it is void and both
parties subject to punishment.
Knight contends that he is less
than one-eighth Negro. No charges
were preferred against the woman.
According to reports she has as
serted that she will stick by her
husband.
During the trial last December
evidence produced in court show
that Rachel Knight, Negro wo-
man who was never married, had
several children by white men.
Jeffie Knight, one of her sons
married a white woman who gave
birth to several children.
One of these children was Ohio
Knight who also was married to
white woman. These two became
the parents of Davis Knight.
Nine assignments of error are
contained in the brief presented
the Supreme Court by Atty. Duet
man Ross, who is representing
Knight.

Gratias Agamus

That's Latin for Let us give thanks" As it is, no doubt, with every devout person, so, with us Catholics, too, every day is Thanksgiving.
 Each morning, in his Holy Mass, the priest calls on his congregation to give thanks to Almighty God. Standing at the altar. he has just offered bread and wine to the Most High, and now before going on to the sacrifice, he pauses to exhort the people.
 "Gratias agamus Domino, Dec nostra,"
 Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God"
 "It is fitting and just," they re- ply.
 "It is truly fitting and just" he goes on, right and fruitful until salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, o holy Lord, Father Almighty and Everlasting God, through Christ, Our Lord"
 The refrain of grateful adora- ton echoes and re-echoes through out the consecrated prayers of our Church.
 "We give thanks" says the An gelic Hymn, sung at Mass, "be- cause of Thy great glory

WAS HINGTON, (P - Angus Ward, the American consul gen. eral at Mukden, has been releas- ed from jail by the Chinese com munists and ordered out of the country.

Fire Disables
 Freighter Off Washington Coast

SEATTLE, (P) - The stricken 1O,OOO-ton freighter Panamanlan Eagle drifted helplessly off the Washington coast today after fire broke out in its engine room last night.
 None of the 34 crew members aboard the freighter required medical attention.
 An army transport the Gen. II. B. Freeman, stood along s d awaiting arrival of the coast guard cutter Winona from Port Angeles. The cutter was expected to reacn the vessel about 10 pm.
 Weather conditions at the scene, sGme 360-miIes vests 'uthWest of Cape Flattery, were said 10 be moderate" The cape is the north westernmost tip of Washington State.
 nC SlIlChtil 1iSiSiitS'. A'ii VI Panamanian vessel in slightly more than a month to catch fire off the Washington coast. was in bound to LongvieW, Wash, from Fusan, Korea. It was not known whether the vessel carried cargo or was empty.
 The General Freeman came alongside the helpless ship short ly before midnight after a 6O- mile dash in response to the Eag- les SOS. four hours earlier that fire was sweeping the engine room.
 A message from the army trans port reported the freighter was without power or radio. Boiler fires had been extinguished.
 Another Panamanian freighter. the Salina Cruz, bound from Van couver, B. C., to the Orient, caught fire and sank Oct. IT, and the freighter Andalucia grounded and broke up off Neah Bay Nov. 4. af- ter another such fire. Neither of the earlier fires resulted in the loss of life.

God" It comes over and over again, in the sonorous Latin of the ancient liturgy.
 Our Catholic scholars through out the ages have always taught that the perfect worship of God must include thanksgiving. First, there is adoration, or the acknowl- edgment of our utter dependence on God; next in order comes thanksgiving; then comes repara- ton or satisfaction for our sins; and finally there is petition, or the asking of what we need from the good God. None of these should be omitted.
 No doubt special Masses of Thanksgiving will be offered in our churches throughout the United States this Thursday. but they will only underscore the be- lief which is close to every Catho- lie heart: that of ourselves we have nothing. Our life, health, prosperity, and all the blessings of freedom under the Constitution have come to us from the generous hand of Almighty God, to whom be blessing and thanksgiving for ever. Amen.
