Guilty

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
William L. Patterson, national ex-
ecutive secretary of the Civil
Rights Congress, pleaded not guilty
in District Court last Friday to
charges of contempt of Congress.
Patterson, accused of refusing
to produce certain documents re-
lating to the financing and activ-
tiles of the Civil Rights Congress
before a special House Commit
tee Investigating Lobbying Activ-
tiles, was released on $1,000 bond
pending trial. The trial date for
Patterson was tentatively set as
January 10.

could progress?
They preach up there the super
iority of Lincoln men, and I'll ad-
nit that quite few of them have
made their mark in the fields of
science, education, medicine, law,
etc., but there is no excuse for
bad manners, and that is one thing
they should be taught. That just
isn't done.
Last year after making a criti-
cism of Lincoln got an awfully
hot letter threatening lynching,
special oStraciSm and few other
things. But, believe me, whenever
I see something which I think
could be corrected for the better
ment of my people, I'm going to
speak out about it.

ton end who played some right

fore being banished this year, has

that he had been railroaded when
he refused to take pay cut.
And the first "All-American"
team to hit the sheets last week,
the International News Service
edition, lists John Bright of Drake,
who set a new record of 2,400
yards gained in the past season,
on the DEFENSIVE team.
AS is usual, the Limb will not
pick an All-America team because
of the limited scope of experience
this year.
I'll still say, however, that
among the outstanding players
I've seen this year are Polk and
Martin of Maryland State, Joe
Harris and Frank Mccoy of Lin

Howard durable Obie Palmer
and George Brown of Delaware

IN THE NATIONS
CAPITAL
By LOUIS LAUTIER

TOf Cu0 NN1A NOWS 0CHVACO
The railroad union shop bill,
which was scheduled to be called
up again in the Senate after the
vote on the bill to extend rent
controls until next February %,
raises a question concerning the
niceties of Congressional proceed
ure.
Whenever a motion has been
made that the Senate take up civil
rights legislation, Southern Sen
ators have openly and flagrantly
engaged in filibusters to force the
withdrawal of such motions.
Southern Senators have even
used the Journal (minutes) as
vehicle for a filibuster, going to
the extent of moving to correct the
chaplins prayer and so tieing up
the Senate over the question OF
whether a comma should be in
serted somewhere that the social
ed greatest deliberative body in
the world" was completely para
lyzed.
At present, the twenty-five Sem
ators from the Deep South are
pledged ito use every parliament
ary device possible to defeat civil
rights legislation"
In such a situation, the question
arises whether it is proper or be-
fitting to offer civil rights pro-
posals as legislative "riders" to
bills, in which the Southern Sen
ators are interested.
The question came up early in
the last session of Congress when
Senator William LANCER, Repub-
lican, of North Daota, offered var
ious civil rights bill as admend-
ments to the bill to remove Fed
eral tax on oleomargarine.
Senator LANCER was opposed to
the oleo bill. But what difference
did his motive make to supporters
of civil rights legislation. Good
can be accomplished even through
bad motives.
The chief concern of supporters
of civil rights legislation should
have been the passage of such
legislation-not the price of oleo.
But several of them, including Roy
Wilins, administrator of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, and FL
mer Henderson, director of the
American Council on Human
Rights, sent kilograms to Senator
Scott w. Lucas, of Illinois, the
Majority Leader, denouncing Sen
ator Langer's action.
The question of whether civil
rights proposals should be offered
as legislative riders" has been
raised again. It came up during
the filibuster against the motion
to take up the Alsan statehood bill.
At the time, the railroad union
shop was the pending business.
Senator Lucas sought unanimous
consent to fix a time for voting on
the railroad union shop bill and all
amendments, and proposed as a
Amendment not germane to the
part of the agreement that mo
subject matter of said bill shall
be considered or received"
That proviSo has been repeatedly
inserted in unanimous consent
agreements to preclude any Sen
ator from offering civil rights
amendment after a time has been
fixed for voting.
Senator William E. Jenner, Re-
publican, of Indiana, had pendning
fair employment practice to- the
railroad union shop bill. He was
absent at the time Senator Lucas
sought the unanimous consent
agreement, and consideration of
his FEPC amendment would have
been barred.
Republican Senators immediate
ly sought to protect the right of

Russian communism because it's adherents must submit

The tragedy of it all is that few Negro Americans still

America has bolstered her weakest link from time to

ON THE LIMB
BY GEORGE LYLE, Jr.
For the NNPA News Service

lett, who was drafted from the
Detroit Loins by Uncle Sam few
weeks ago, is now member of
the 594th Field Artillery Battal-
ion, stationed at Camp Polk, Louis
lana.
Triplett was one of the first Ma
tional Football League stars to
be inducted into military service
during the present campaign. He
had a kickoff return average of
51.4 yards at the time of his in
ductiOn.
Now, I've been told that Mich
igans Horace Smith has joined the
Lions and is carrying on where
Wally left off.
While on this football kick let's
talk bit about the win by Lin
coin University pennsylvania
over Howard down in the Nations
Capitol on Thanksgiving Day. Of
course, having predicted the out
come of that and a few others,
the Limbs stock is soaring again.
But you've heard of that "off
again, on again" jive, know. Well,
| that's the way it is with me and
Lincoln.
Held Up Play
Howard had procured, for the
entertainment of the spectators
at the half, the United States Air
Force Band and Ceremonial Drill
Team. And the exhibition which
this mixed unit put on was well
worthwhile.
But then, "wha' happen'?" The
rabble from Lincoln overfloWed
onto the field to sing their Alma
Mater. They blocked the path of
the ceremonial team and sang
while the band was playing.
All of this, mind you, after the
band had formed a huge 81" in
front of the Lincoln stands and
played their school song.
And when the sergeant heading
up the drill team had come up
to the cheer leaders and asked
their cooperation in clearing the
field so that his men could put
on their part of the show, he was
treated very rudely.
Disgusting Spectacle
It was one of the things which
Lincoln men. Remember the game
one has come to associate with
played here at Drexel Field when
it took police and officials over an
hour to clear the field after the
amendment considered. Some sup
porteds of FEPC, notably Senators
Elmer Thomas, of Utah.. and Den
mis- Chavez, of New Mexico, both
Democrats, announced their in
tention to vote against the FEPC
amendment.
Senator Wayne Morse, Republi-
can of Oregon, agreed that it
was a mistake" to offer such an
amendment to the raildoad union
shop bill, but argued that it also
would be a great mistake" for
the Senate to follow the policy, by
unanimous consent, of ruling out,
in effect, colleagues amendment.
The bald fact is that no civil
rights legislation has been con-
sidered by the Senate in the past
thirty years which has not been
| offered as an amendment to some
pending bill.
The position of colored people
ought to be clarified. If the South
ern Senators will not permit the
Senate to vote on a civil rights
proposal, on its merits, the pro-
ponents of such legislation should
be willing to use every parliament
ary device possible to force. a vote.
The procedure is secondary.

The purchase of 100 cargo con- tainers by the Alaska Steamship Company is announced by MT. D. E Skinner, vice president and general manager of the line.
 This will increase to 174 the number of containers we have in use in the Alaska trade,' Skinner pointed out, and delivery of this order has been arranged to permit the full extension of their benefits to the steamers Alaska and Aleutian coming into service this month from winter lay-up."
 The first sailing of the. Alaska is scheduled for May 6. The first for the Aleutian is May 20.
 Containers have proved most suc- cessful in handling highly valuable, fragile and pilferable merchandise, it was pointed out.
 "The decision to expand their use in the Alaska service was made only after months of experiments with different sizes and types and under varied conditions present in the ports served" Skinner said, "and the container adopted has been de- veloped especially for the Alaska Steamship Company"
 Its outside, overall dimensions are 4'3"x6'8"x6'3". Construction is of steel and corrugated iron with plank flooring, developing rain proof interior with a capacity ot IA cubic feet.
 Tn addition to reducing damage and pilferage of valuable commodi- ties and cutting breakage of fragile items, containers facilitate handling, both in the loading and unloading operation" Skinner stated, ''and the extension of their use is an added service to Alaska slippers In the picture above is D.
