Lynchers Feel Safe With Eastlant
Legislation is needed to speed
action against lynching, Mr.. Will
kins declared, citing Poplarville
Miss. But such action, he pointed
out. "Fis being held up by the com
mittee of which Senator James o
Eastland of Mississippi is chair
man. It is not too much to sa!
that lynchers in Mississippi fee
safe as long as they know tina
their senator is chairman Of tn

is an intolerable situation"

Recognizing that there ar
many fine Democrats in the Hous

the bravest and most sincere sol

Paul H. Douglas of Illinois and hi

the NAACP leader nevertheless
declared that Negro citizens car
not stand by while men are Tyr

cause of the sabotage of federf
legislation by Dixiecrat committe

He called upon the Democrat
leadership to talk sense to II
southern members" or face a NOV,

convention was widely acclaimed.
He mentioned the name Of former
Minnesotans Roy Wilkins, Clar-
ence Mitchell and present day resi-
dents Gov. Orville Freeman, Judge
L. Howard Bennett and Cecil New
man in his address.
The Humphrey speech set the
record for applause interruptions
for the convention up to Saturday.
In a hour long speech he was in
terupted by applause 20 times. Of
ten he continued to talk as the
applause swelled possibly, because
he had to catch a plane back to
Washington for a pending vote
on home-rule for the capital city.

Chief opposition to allowing
Washington. d. c. residents to

American Phenomenon

The black bourgeosie in the us. is an
essentially American phenomenon. Its en-
ergence and its rise to Importance within
the Negro community are closely tied up
with economic and social changes in the
American community. It's behaviour as
well as its mentality is a reflection of
American modes Of behaviour and mental
ity What may appear as distortions Of
American patterns Of behaviour and thought
are due to the fact that the Negro lives
on the margin of American society.-E.
