NAACP OPPOSES
POLL TAX

NEW YORK : Calling for de-
feat of the proposed constitution
al amendment to abolish the poll
tax as a requirement for voting
in federal elections, the Nationaf
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People warns that
approval of the amendment
would provide an immutable
precedent for shunting all fur
ther civil rights legislation to
the amendment procedure"
Joining the NAACP in oppos-
ing the amendment are six other
national organizations concerned
with civil rights: Americas Jew
ish Congress, American Veter-
ans Committee, Americans for
Democratic Action, Anti-Defa-
nation League. International Un-
ion of Electrical Workers, and
United Automobile Workers of
America.
In a joint statement released
this week the seven organia
this week the seven organiZa-
tions ask for the immediate abo-
lition of the tax through federal
legislation" Moreover, the
statement asserts, "it is trav-
esty to call a constitutional
amendment a civil rights mea-
sure when Congress has the con-
stitutional power to abolish the
poll tax by legislation as the
Attorney General has testified.
There is no more reason for
proceeding in the civil rights field
by way of constitutional amend
ment when there is ample legis-
lative authority than there is TO
proceed by way Of constitutional
amendment in any other field"
The organizations sharply con-
denim a clause in the pending
measure which provides that
nothing in this article shall be
construed to invalidate any pro-
visions of law denying the right
to vote to paupers or persons
supported at public expense or
by charitable institutions.
Such a proposal, If enacted
in the Constitution. would, the
statement charges, ''give this
anti-democratic concept a re-
spectability which it has never
had before, and which we regard
with the greatest abhorrence."
Furthermore, the statement
points out, enactment of this
provision would open Pandora's
box of legislative pettifogging,
and litigation which would be re-
quired to block attempts to disen-
franchise the poor by Legislative
redifinitions of the words pau
pers or persons supported at
public expense would jam court
calenders for years."

New Blackberry
Yields Big Crop

A new blackberry, which has
produced fruit at the rate of
about two tons per acre, is be-
ing released by plant breeders.
1t is available in such limited
supplies that, for the present,
distribution is restriced to nur-
serymen who will agree to pro-
pagate it.
DR.. J. B. Overcast, expert
ment station horticulturist, says
plants should be available to
growers in the fall of 1862 or
later. The blackberry originated
from a cross made in 1889, and
it has been tested extensively
in North Carolina and in Mis-
sissippi.
Williams ripens in late June,
producing glossy black berries
of good size and firmness. The
flavor is acid with good dessert
quality. Plants are vigorous;
new primary canes are often
8 to 10 feet long by mid-June.
They are disease resistant and
may be grown on a trellis or in
hedge-rows.

NLRB Eases
Policy In
Barring Situs
Pickets

Common situs picketing is le-
gal under certain conditions,
the National Labor Relations
Board has decided in revising
the Washington Coca-Cola rule
which the board had followed
for eight years.
By a 3-2 vote the NLRB dis
missed a secondary boycott
charge involving Local 861 of
the Intl. Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers and Plauche
Electric, Inc, of Lake Charles,
La.
The company's top official,
Vance Plauche, former IBEW
member, and the local failed TO
agree on a new contract when
an agreement expired in 1860.
The local placed pickets at the
site of a contract job when
Plauche placed non-union men
on a wiring job at U. S. Tire
Engineers, Inc. The NLRB gen.
eral counsel issued a complaint
and Trial Examiner John C.
Fischer held that an unfair la
Dor practice had been commit
ted by the union because it did
not picket Plauche at his of
flee but went to a jobsite.
The board majority reversed
the trial examiner, citing U. S.
Appeals Court rulings in SINH
lar cases. The picketing result
ed in no work interruptions and
the picket signs stated mo dis
pute with any other contractor"
In discarding the rigid rule"
that situs picketing always is
unlawful, Chairman Frank w.
McCulloch and members Ger
cid A. Brown and John H. Fan
ming said they would examine
each future case on its facts
and its merits.
The majority said it was ap-
plying the Moore Drydock rul-
ing which held that, in mixed
situs situation, picketing of the
premises of a secondary en-
ployer is engaged in its normal
business" at the site picketed.
Members Boyd Ledom and
Philip Pay Rodgers dissented.
They charged that the majority
was not revising Washington
Coca-Cola but reversing it en-
tirely and in effect licensing
unions to enmesh neutral en-
rloyers."

Biological Laboratories, Ft. De-
trick, Frederick, Md, arrived
there from the Officers Detach-
ment of the Army Medical Ser
vice School, Ft. Sam Houston,
Tex. in August 1860. He was
then assigned to develop a
method for the cannulation of
the lymphatic ducts.
Success was the reward for
DR.. Hodges experiments which
resulted in the recent develop
ment of a technique for the
cannulation of the thoracic and
right common lymphatic ducts
of the rhesus monkey.
DR.. Hodges contribution will,
in effect, be essentially vital to
human surgery. In addition, this
new technique now makes it
possible for scientists to con-
tinue their experimentation of
the effects of the pathogens of
the lymphatic system.
Scientists have noted that in
both, the human and animal
bodies, certain disease condi-
tions can cause serious effects
to the lymphatic system. The
reason for this is, that the lynn
phatic stream, a companion to
the blood stream, carries fluids
to all parts of the body.
AS a result of DR.. Hodges
development, however, it will be
possible to gain valuable in
formation concerning the effect
of the pathogens on the lynn
phatic system.
The process, in which tubes
are inserted into the lymphatic
ducts, draws out the infected
lymph fluid, and permits the
observer to study the liquid dur
ing it's tenure in the body.
In developing this surgical
procedure, DR.. Hodges succeed
ed in keeping the monkey alive
during the process of cannula-
tion.
Following chest surgery, the
monkey was placed in a sealed
chamber with the tubes running
to the outside of the enclosure.
The scientists could then study
the changes and makeup of the
lymph as often as they desired
without disturbing the expert
mental animal.
Other attempts of this method
had been tried by surgeons, but
with no success. They had de-
veloped the technique Of can
mutation, but hadn't devised a
survival method for the animal.
These failures were one of the
keys to the continuation of re-
