THE FILIBUSTER

The Congress of the United States has been very

The real purpose of course to block President

According to law the filibusters were within their
rights but when the matter is seriously taken into con-

ators could to defeat by such and without
due consideration that affect millions of Amer-

tration to have its Civil Rights Program considered But
whether this be not civil rights will remain live

The President has done good job in presenting his
program to the Congress- The least the Congress could do
is to bring the matter up for consideration.
The world looks to America for leadership but the
world watching closely the action of America especial

no greater than its weakest part.
If America to lead, she must put her house in order
The Congress, especially the Dxiecrats should put

LOCAL CIVIL RIGHTS
CHURCHMAN RESIGNS

RepercuSSionS m that
meeting held by the Miami Chapter
of the Civil Rights Congress at the
Culture Club
on March 4, which provoked much
publicity on the inner working of
the organization, are still being
brought to light.
The most recent instance result.
ing from the blast" given that or
ganization and the recent meeting
by the local press was the resigna-
ton of the chairman Of the local
branch of the group. with head
quarters in Miami. Completely de-
nouncing the organization as one
which is definitely under suspicion
Of subversive and Communist domi-
nation, Victor Emanuel announced
Wednesday that he has resigned as
chairman of the Civil Rights Con.
gress in Miami.
The organization has long been
branded as a subversive red-frOnt
group by the Attorney General of
the United States, and to those in
the know, EmanuePs resignation
came as no shocking surprise.
Here's a prediction that several
other designations from this group
will follow EmanuePs soon.
A lot of food for thought is af-
forded in the resignation of the
chairman of the Civil Rights Con-
gress in Miami - especially when
one considers deeply the reasons Civ
en- for his getting out. Perhaps it
would be wise for other members to
study and learn more about the Gro
and govern themselves accordingly.
