Pledges Support
For FEPC

. WASHINGTON CAMP The
one-day CLIO Executive board
meeting in Washington last week
adopted resolutions pledging sup
port Of an FEPC law, for rent
control, social security, support Of
oil workers strike at Texas
company, support of strike at New
York World Telegram and Sun,
and resolver to support the Ruhr
and on the proposed Inter-Euro-

On the FEPC, the Executive
board reiterated it's support for the
passage of this piece of legisla-
ton, and called upon both parties
in the Senate to take the first step
toward redeeming their solemn
commitments to the American
people by marshalling a %two-thirds
vote in the Senate to invoke clo-
iture on this measure.
The House of Representatives
and the Senate have both adopted
rent control bills providing for ex-
tension of rent control, the diff
ference being that the House bill
provides for eve months while
the Senate provides for only six
months.
The bills are now in Conference

Wherry Amendment ON Cloture
Denouncement Told By
Robert Church

Wherry amendment to the Senate
rule on cloture adopted last year
has been denounced by leaders in
the FEPC fight as IAN attempt
to nail the Senate's feet to the
floor for a thousand years., ac-
cording to Rebort R. Church. a
leader in the Republican party.
In a statement sent to the
chairman and members of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Repub-
lican National committee meeting
in Atlantic City last week, the
Republican statesman declared
that AZ Republican votes for clo-
ture will be necessary on July II
to tell the Democrats, in words
that the American people will UNI
derstand and accept, ITO put up
or shut up on FEfC and other
civil rights legislation"
Whether the non-Southern De-
mocrats do not supply enough
votes for cloture, declared Church,
the Republicans will have extract
ed themselves from "a parlimen-
tary man trap" Of their own maxi
ing and the question of FEPC will
be put squarely up tothe minority
ofthe Democratic party which used
the civil rights issue to win with
in 1948 and plans to. use again in
1850 and 1852.
Church stated that the 33 Re-
publican votes cast for cloture on
May 10 was a good beginning but
not good enough. Unless each of
the AZ Republican senators vote
for cloture on July IL, the non
Southern Democrats will go into
the 1850 campaign with the story
that if it had not been for Re-
publican help given to the Dixie
Gratis in defeating the Barley rul-
ing applying cloture to motions as
well ~ to hills and in increasing
the necessary vote for eloture to
81 instead Of two-thirds of sena-
tors present and voting, the mea-
sur could have been passed.
The COP executive committee
was reminded that the Republican
party can win, and gain, and hold
power only by regaining and keep
ing the faith and active support
of the celored electorate.
Nationally, the Republicans talk
big in their party platform, con-
tinued Church, but fail to de-
liver as in 1916 when they had
control Of both Senate and House,
but the FEPC was not brought
to vote in either House. and was
not even given a. committee hear
ing in the, House of Representa-
tives.

By WoIIoce {. Clayton

Did you ever spend a hungry
midnight filling up on pickles
ice cream, cucumbers, hot dogs,
old oysters and buttermilk?
And then, for some strange rea-
son, dream you were falling from
a 110-story building, or caught
in the rapids in front of the
Hoover dam, or charged with mur-
der in the first degree.
If so, then you have some idea
of the feelings of Pat Lockwood,
the King Cole Rooms attractive
vocalist, who stood in front of a
battery of television cameras the
other night and insisted hers was
not the hand which dumped a
goodly collection of sleeping tab
lets into the unsuspecting drink
of one Dave Fredericks, former
song writer and present corpse.
OF course, the whole thing was
just a make-believed part of the
District Bar Association pro-
duction o. the television show,
District Courtroom. Actually,
Miss Lockwood would find it prac-
tically impossible to murder a
song, let alone be the major con-
tributor to the sudden demise of
a songwriter, no matter how
meager his talent or well-thumbed
his rhyming dictionary.
FrederickS was fictitious name
made up to identify the corpus
delecti. And Miss Lockwood was
invited to play the part of the de-
fendant because-well, because
they needed someone to play the
part of the defendant in this
make believe trial, that's all.
(The above paragraph is in
serted principally for the benefit
of the woman who called the King
Cole Room a few minutes after
the show left the air and asked
the operator, Did that girl really
murder that poor man?")
X X X
Actually, when the prosecuting
attorney started to croSS-eXamine |
me, my hands got cold and clam
my, and I began to wonder if I
hadn't been guilty of certain
sleeping tablet manipulation"
Miss Lockwood said later.
This perhaps accounted for the
realistic acting prompting the call
from the worried woman, who ap-
parently didn't stay in front CT
the screen long enough to hear
the shows producer say the while
thing was make believe, and ask
the audience to submit "gGilty"
or mot guilty. votes.
From an afterdark point of
view, the whole show was pretty
interesting because, in addition to
Miss lockwood, the pro-and-con
panel of witnesses included Vim
Gallagher, operator of the King
Cole Room and the very accom-
plished voice coach of the singers
there, and one Betty Woodruff,

identified as a singer at the Congo
Room of the Hotel Carlton.
From a lawyers point of view
to get an authentic report on this
we asked an Office boy who is a
regular listener to, Famous Jury
Trial" case against Miss
Lockwood was as full of holes as
that supposedly mosquito proof
screen door on the back porch.
Anyway, Miss Lockwood is still
singing at the King Cole Room,
she is not out on bond, and when
she leaves Washington next We'd
