zeal party. The law fixed date
for the first group to register and
claim the right to use the party
name, and with Howard living in
Washington, the Lily-Whites cas-
lily beat the gun.
The Howard faction was recog-
nized at the last National Conven-
ton as the official party organiza-
ton of the state, as it has been
recognized during the years, but
political observers here point out
that the action of the Supreme
Court here today, or rather, the
refusal of the Supreme Court to
act, sounded the death knell of the
Black and Tan faction of the state
and brings to an end the long ten
ure of Perry Howard as Republi-
can National Committeeman for
Mississippi and the only Negro
member of that body.
Some lawyer, who preferred not
to be named, in speaking of the
case, pointed out that the refusal
Of the U. S. Supreme Court to re-
view the case vacated the position
of the National Committeeman
from the state, saying that if the
state court had ruled that the
Black and Tan faction had no legal
right to use the name of the party,
the election of Howard as National
Committeeman at the State Con-
vention was also illegal.
While Howard himself was not
immediately available for state
ment there were others who point
ed out that Howard might go to
Mississippi and start the suit all
over again beginning in the Fed
eral court instead of the State
court as in this case.

''SmaII-FY" Held
For Robberies

BROOKHAVEN, Miss, Jan. 5
-Four small fry" are being held
in the care of welfare authorities
here after police said they made
a daylight raid on a local welding
company office and attempted to
smash open cash register.
The boys gave their ages as
four, six and eight.
Police said they broke into the
concern by tearing part Of a tin
wall off the rear of the building.
They then managed to carry the
cash register from the office to
an area where they proceeded to
batter it into a "shapeless mass"
They were unsuccessful in opening
it, police said.
Confronted with the evidence,
the small fry confessed.

The Ohio Republican told Clar-
ence Mitchell, director of the Wash
ington Bureau of the N.A.A.C.P.
that he planned to hold hearings
on the Taft Hartley law as soon
as the 83rd congress got organized.
After that he said, 81 know Of
nothing that will take priority over
the FEPC."
Based upon this pledge by the
senate labor committee chairman
and conversations with other sena-
tors and representatives, Mitchell
predicted an early consideration
FEPC legislation.
Senator Taft has strongly OPP
posed FEPC legislation with en-
forcement powers which has CON
sistently been supported by the
NAACP. While he has probably
not changed his views on this type
of legislation, Mitchell feels that
the compulsory measure sponsored
by the NAACP has strong support
on both sides of the aisle.
He recalled that Senator Irving
Ives, Republican of New York, was
one of the leaders for an FEPC
with enforcement powers in the
Sind Congress, along with Demo-
cratic Senator Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota. Both of these sena-
tors and many other friends of
FEPC both in the Senate and
House will be in there pitching,
said Mitchell.
The NAACP spokesman seemed
confident that there are sufficient
votes in both the House and Sen
ate to pass FEPC legislation, but
he is aware of the fact that the
bill faces the possibility .of being
blocked in the Senate by filibuster-
ing tactics and in the House by
the Rules Committee
I'm spite of Obstacles" continued
Mitchell, 1--WE intend to make d
vigorous fight for the kind of bill
that is needed; we also expect to
get full support from those Repub-
lican leaders who pledged that, m
a COP controlled congress, we
would have a better chance to get
civil rights bills through"
