charged yesterday that Senator
Robert A. Taft's "soft FEPC bill
is just another example of the
Senator's Pm for it, but
line of thinking" He labelled the
Taft proposal "a political gesture
designed to fool those most des-
perately in need of honest, en-
forceable Fair Employment

called the present bill before
congress too strong the other day
in the course of his vote-getting

proposed a soft FEPC which
would probably end up with the
function of appealing to the call
oused reason of employers who
discriminate.

defeat the author of the ill-con-
ceived Taft-Hartley labor law.

The sentencing yesterday of Rex
Ingram to Is months in prison
for violating the Mann Act brings
to mind the hectic days of the
veteran actor. The 54-year actor
was sentenced by a federal judge
in Kansas City for transporting
a white girl across state lines to
New York for immoral purposes.
The Salina, Kansas, girl was only
Is years old. In addition to begin
charged with violating the Mann
Act the actor was also charged
with sending the young girl a
lewd letter thru the mail.
Ingram, an immense character
with a deep, believing voice, play
ed "De Lawd" in the movie
version of green pastures. He ap-
peared in an innumerable num-
Der of films and plays. His last
play was the Inflated est. Louis
Woman"
] Despite his great unpopularity
among many people a great deal
of sympathy was expressed for
Ingram. AS n person put it, In
gram would not have been bother
ed had his affair been with a
Negro girl instead Of a white
girl.
Personally tho Ingram is dis
liked for his pompous, strutting,
conceited manner. He is one of
a group of prima donnas who
feel the whole world is obliged
to bow down before them. He is
in company with the Nicholas
Brothers, Una Mae Carlisle and
others of that stripe. In the re-
hearsal of "St. Louis Woman" In
