REP. JOE Martin LONGTIME SPEAKER NOW
REPUBLICAN MINORITY LEADER IN HOUSE IRKED
BY NAACP CRITICISM OF CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
Says He Believes NAAcP Speaks For Only Few Negroes
SEE NEGRO VOTE RETURNING TO THE COP

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26-The
National Association for the Ad-
cancement of Colored People
doesn't speak for all of the colored
people of this country, thinks
House Minority Leader Joe Martin.
His opinion was revealed this week
in an informal chat with reporters
on the pending civil rights bill.
Martin told the press that the
Administration does not favor the
Senate passed bill because it does
not protect the voting right of
every person in this country.
Read Negro Newspaper
When informed that the NAACP
had agreed to accept the pending
bill with one modification, Martin
retorted that he had just read in
the Philadelphia Negro newspaper
that the NAACP speaks only for
few Negroes of this country, it
does not represent the view of all
colored people. He added that he
believed this to be true.
The Republican leader feels that
the bill should go to conference for
revision. And he thinks it desir-
able to let it remain there until
the beginning of the second term.
1t could be taken up in January, he
stated, because this is slow month
anyway and the entire month could
be devoted to this measure.
Martin said he would not be adj
verse to an extra session in Novem-
Der if necessary. Or, he said, 81
will be willing to stay as long as
an effort is being made to get a
civil rights bill"
Foolish To Abandon Fight"
Pointing out that this is the time

sets Representative claimed that
it would be foolish to abandon
the fight just on the eve of VIC

Washington, D. c., Aug. n -
Negroes and the supporters of
civil rights have won a clearcut
victory.
This is clear after an analysis
of the compromise civil rights bill
which is expected to be passed by
Congress this week.
It's been called a bill to protect
Negroes voting rights. It goes
far beyond that. It would have
gone further, by letting the attor-
ney general step into all kinds Of
civil rights cases.
But Southern senators were able
to get that part Of the bill knock

That's plenty. So is the rest of
the bill. And for the first time
in this century, the Southerners
were unable to block civil rights
legislation.
Chance For More
That may mean more chance for
more civil rights legislation in the
future.
The bill calls for commission to
investigate all kinds Of civil rights
violations. The commission would
have no powers to act against such
violations, as the attorney general
