It is a disgrace tc the poll

upon our country that President
Truman's repeated appeal for the
shipment Of grain to India to
stop famine there is being ig-
nored and bottled up in the
House Rules Committee by the
usual combination of reactionary
Republicans and reactionary
Dixiecrats. We have the surplus
grain; and the Hindus, due to nc
fault of their own, have the
famine. Decency, ethics, belief
in the brotherhood of man, and
sound craftsmanship alike de-
mand that President Trumans
plea be granted. But the. Dixie
Gratis hate Truman so much be-
cause he advocates stronger en-
forcement of civil rights for col
ored people and the Republicans
hate him so much because he
advocates the economic measures
which we call the Fair Deal and

old age pensions, health insur-
