The House is losing one Of It's
most colorful and controversial
figures with the defeat of Repre-
sentative John Rankin in yester-
days Mississippi Democratic pri-
mary.
| He was a victim Of reapportion-
lment which dropped one Of the
States seven seats, 1.s..
Against his pleas. the State
Legislature last April merged his
Irelatively. safe old FIRST District
with a part of that on the old
Fourth District. -.

test with the u1yieg yp.inger Rep
lresentativc z Tsonl belmethy, an
other nimble -witted orator. The
results prove the predictions that
Mr.. Abernethy had more friends
and fewer political enemies than
did the 7O-year-old Congressional
veteran.
Mr.. Rankin, champion of white
supremacy and promoter and de-
fender of rural identification
came to the House first in 1920
|Since then he has made almost
daily speeches in the chamber
blasting something or some one.
For a number Of years he was
Ia leader in the House Committee
on Un-American Activities and
frequently turned the House into
an uproar with attacks on de-
velopments and decisions he
deemed "communistic."
Swung at Representative.
Ever ready for q fight. he en-
gagged in verbal bouts with House
colleagues, crossed swords at times
with Speaker Rayburn and once
took 4 swing at another member
on the floor Of the House.
That incident came during the
1945 House observance Of George
Washington's Birthday arlniver-
sary. His opponent was the much
bigger Representative Hook, DEM
ocrat. of Michigan The Michi-
eander. had called him "a dirty
Mara when Mr.. Rankin accused
him Of cofsorting with Com
Inunists. 5s ..,
Ri Bit he didn't stop with House
members. M his fiery speeches
ne also attacked Presidents and
at times leyeled blasts at the
Supreme Court.
One of these came in 1914 when
the high court ruled that Negroes
could vote IN primaries in Texas.
As he paitSik: Not only are the
white people being betrayed by q
lot OF alien-minded crackpots here
in Washington. but the Negroes
of the South are having their
white neighbors destroyed.
And again In 1913. he told the
House there must have been a
celebration in Moscow over the
Supreme Court decision outlawing
court enforcement Of racial cove
nants on property ownership.

John Rankin Defeated
By Aberneihy, Ending

By the Associated Pres.

JACKSON. Miss. Aug. 27.--Rep-
Iresentative John Rankin. the last
Iof Mississippi's old-school white
supremacists and denouncer of
Yankees, yesterday lost his seat
to his former colleague. Repre-
sentative Thomas Abernethy.
Representatives Rankin and
Abernethy were opponents because
the State Legislature combined
their districts last April to elimi-
nate a congressional seat lost in
the 1850 census.
Unoficial returns from 341 of
the districts 358 precints in the
Democratic primary showed:
Abernethy. 26,903.
Rankin. 20,56S.
Victory Note Is Reserved.
The 49-year-old victor was re-
served about dethroning the TO-
|year-old dean Of the Mississippi
congressional delegation who was
seeking his l7th term In the House
Iof Representatives.
Mr.. Abernethy's victory state
ment said he had been Mr..
Rankin's friend during his own To-
year tenure in Congress and II
regret We found ourselves tn the
same district, thus making our op-
position unavoidable" .
Mr.. Rankin, chairman OF the
House Veterans Affairs Committee,
was co-author of the bill creating
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and author of the measure ere
Iating the permanent House Com.
mittee on Un-American Activities.
The quick-tempered Rankin
represented the northeast Missis-
,sippi district for 80 years.
! He fought against many things,
particularly all anti-racial dis
elimination bills and all things
communistic. He was q leader in
the walkout of Southern Demo-
Gratis that led to the formation of
the States Rights Party in 1913.
Wrote Veterans Bills. r
Mr.. Rankin championed scores
of bills favoring war veterans and
Federal aid to education. He once
said he had authored more legis-
lation to aid veterans than any
other Congressman.
Last year he called for United
States withdrawal from the United
Nations, saying it was dominated
by an international gang seeking
to undermine American sover-
eighty.

the story of a boy, crowded with

David is buffeted by a harsh

briefly here the day it opened, the
show was assembled to reflect the
preferences, prejudices and per-

owners.
Twenty-Five artists have lent a

sculptures. prints and crafts. The
show is varied and interesting,
but divides almost evenly into
groups belonging to those who
exemplify the planned theme
and those who have carried out

French Drawings. Masterpieces
From Five Centuries" which

| This superb panorama of French
drawing from the early 18th CEN

of the show. Foremost, of course,
is the esthetic, which in the

chot- -Saupique, the Louvre's cura-
tor of drawings and organizer of

The historic is the second facet,
and very appealing one. The
visitor gets intimate glimpses of
Mary Stuart. Catherine de Me-
dicis, Kings Henri II and Charles
TX and many another person, IA
nous or Infamous; meets some of
the artists face to face; sees Paris,
Versailles and the French and
Italian countryside as they were
centuries ago.

, Another facet is the sociological

+ ing of various eras: Customs and
costumes. actors and workers, the
+ privileged and humble people

is unknown. hence cannot distract
us from studying them as repre-
Sentatives of their time and place
None of the drawings have been

shown the unbroken continuity
of French master drawings for half
