was

important question"
"39 out Of the 20 Republican
senator's voted TO end filibuster at
the last session Of congress. While
only One-half Of the Democratic
senator's were willing to do like
wise.
After all II is the Democrats
that have had control of Congress
since 1882, except once and II Is
their responsibility to have en-
acted the civil rights plank in
their own platform.
Wherever civil rights legisla-

Performance Is better than

Douglas Hail, well known labor
attorney and prominent in the
human relations field. was the
second speaker for Stevenson.
He attacked Eisenhower speech
10 the American Legion cOnVen.
ton "as the most provocative.
vicious, immoral and dangerous
speech that has ever come from n
Presidential candidate"
There has never been a more
invitation TO national suicide than
that cooked up by Eisenhower and
John Foster Dulles" Hall stated.
He said that he questioned very
much what Eisenhower meant
when he spoke In terms Of liberia
ton nc the Legion convention.
He contrasted Stevenson's San
Francisco speech where the Demo-
cratic nominee stated that the
people Of the world should be al
lowed to work out their own as
plrations. TO that Of Eisenhower
who the speaker said advocated
war.
And that Stevenson's position
was the one that would be most
likely TO win the respect OF the
people throughout the rest OF the
world.
As further proof of what the
Republican win do to win the rest
Of the world to Democracy, Hall
cited that when the Republicans
were In control OF congress they
