Civil Rights Program
Big Issue in Choice
OF Majority Leader
BY the Asseeiafsd,Press

Some supporters Of President
lTruman's civil rights program
think a secret vote in the Demo-
cratic caucus might. improve their
chances of electing Senator O'Ma-
honey of Wyoming as Senate
mapority leader.
The 40 Democratic members of
| the Senate in the new Congress
will meet January Q to pick a
successor to Senator Lucas of
Illinois. who was defeated in the
November election.
The leading. contender for the
post is I Senator Mcfarland Of
Arizona, who has served in the
Senate since 1941 and is s. nerally
Regarded as. a supporter Of most
lof President Truman's flair deal''
program. e.s--

However, Senator Mcfarland S
vote against applying a limitation
on debate on the Fair Employment
Practices Commission bill is being
made an issue in a drive of some
of the Presidents supporters to
elect Senator O'Mahoney who was
on the other side.
One Democratic Senator who
didn't want to be quoted by name
told a reporter he thinks the choice
OF majority leader might well
affect the outcome of Senatorial
races-Snd have a bearing on the
Presidential contest-in some key
States in 1852.
This Senator said that in his

capped in appealing to 10000

votes with the Southerners against
taking up civil rights measures.

claim pledges of support from %

Senator O'Mahoney, who was
put in the race late by Senators

He May Vote for Taft
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 90
National and State Democratic
leaders were fiabbergasted today
by Gov. Lausche's statement that
he had not decided whether to
support his party's candidate
against Senator Taft, Republican.
The leaders, here to help or
ganize the senatorial campaign of
their candidate, Joseph T. Fergu-
son, sidestepped specific comment
on Gov. Lausche's remarks.
The Democratic Governor at
White Sulphur Springs. w. Va,
yesterday said, he would vote for
the senatorial candidate he
thought would serve the Nation
best" Gov. Lausche is seeking a
third term.
BOyle's Comment Brief.
Democratic National Chair
man William M. Boyle, jr., said at
press conference:
ANY official has the right to
vote for any one he wants"
Albert A. Horstman, Democratic
national committeeman, COM
mented:
Every man of course has the
right to be for whomsoever he
pleases."
Mrs. India Edwards, vice chair
man of the party's national COM
mittee, voiced similar sentiment.
All these statements, however.
were for public consumption.
Their private statements were
tinged with sarcasm.
Depressing Effect on Council.
The Lausche statement obvious
ly had a depressing effect on the
council of party leaders. arranged
expressly to make plans to beat
Senator Taft.
Mr.. Ferguson, the fiery State
auditor who seldom is at loss
for words, refused to comment on
Gov. Lausche's remarks. But he
did say:
I'm still going to beat Taft by
250,000 votes, at least. If I quit
campaigning now, he (Senator
Taf0 could never catch up with
me. But I'm not going to quit. )"

fifth column, either. Dangerous
as their treachery can be, Ameri-
can Communists are pretty well
discredited..
I'm talking about the sixth
column-those people who would

doubt"
Causes for Concern.
That was all, but it was well
understood by his audience Mr.
Holman was striking at Senator
Mccarthy and others who are at
tacking Secretary Acheson and
the State Department.
He listed three causes of deec
concern. First. he said, was vast
lack of understanding on the part
OF too many Americans" of the
struggle going on between the
Kremlin and the free world.
Second, a growing acceptance
in this country of the inevitability
of World War III.
Third, the wide failure of toe
many Americans to understand
that it takes planning, work and
sacrifice to win a peace"

lin and the free western world

most titanic struggle in the his.
