The port flourished and grew

But Dumfries' era Of brilliance

House Hearings Start
On Anti-PoII Tax Bills;
Proponents Testify
BY the Associofed Press

House hearings on antipoll tax
legislation-one part Of President
Truman's civil rights program
began today.
Backers Of the legislation had
the first say. Generally. they con-
demned the poll taxes, levied in
some Southern States. as discrimi-
natory and amounting to govern
ment by a minority.
President Truman has called for
legislation to make it unlawful to
levy a poll tax as a requirement
for voting in elections for Fed
eral offices. An administration
subcommittee is considering bills
to do that.
Representative Harrison, Demo-
crat. of Virginia, heads the sub
committee.
Hearings Scheduled.
Later this week, a Labor Sub
committee is to open hearings
on legislation to prohibit discrim-
ination in employment because of
race, color or creed. That is
another point Of the Presidents
civil rights program. Represen-
tative Powell, Negro Democrat
from New York, heads the Labor
Subcommittee.
The first witness at the poll
tax hearings was Irving Brant of
Washington, a former st. Louis
editor. He asserted that the poll
tax "impairs the integrity of
elections"
He quoted Thomas jefferson as
having said this in 1924:
"The exclusion of a majority
of our freemen from the right of
representation is merely arbitrary
and a usurpation of the minority
over the majority"
Minority Rule Charged.
Through poll taxes, Mr.. Brant
contended. "the minority rules"
Elmer w. Henderson, director of
the American Council on Human
Rights, told the committee "the
poll tax laws in the Southern
States were enacted for the ex-
press purpose of disfranchising
Negro citizens" but "the effect has
been to disfranchising millions of
whites as we'll"
1T is manfestly unjust to the
Nation as whole" he said, that
a privileged class should compose
the electorate in some States and
their representatives presume to
speak for all of the people,"
