Count 52 Votes “Sure” For Anti-Lynching BiU If Costigan-Wagner Measure Can Break Through Filibuster, it Will be Passed; Nineteen Senat ors Postivdly Opposed, With Others Not Committed or in Doubt. AVashington, D. C. April 25.— AA ith the first skirmish over the Costigan-AVagner anti-lynching bill out of the way, supporters of the measure counted up fifty-two “sure” votes in the senate for the measure if and when it comes to a vote. j The first sharp exchange over the bill came Tuesday, April 16 when Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolint loosed a burst of oratory about “protecting the womanhood of the South from beasts” and declared lynching was necessary to curb such crimes. Senator Walter F. George of Georgia also spoke against the bill, but on the basis of its al leged uneonstitut'ionaliiy using the old states rights argument. The 52 Favorable Votes According to the latest poll, the senators who will vote for the bill are: Ashurst, Arizona; Aus tin, ATt.; Barbour, N. J.; Bone, AATashington.; Borah, Idaho; Bulk ley, Ohio; Bulow, S. D.; Capper, Kansas; Clark, Mo.; Copeland, X. Y.; Costigan, Colo.; Couzens, Mich.; Cutting, N.

Filibuster Big Obstacle A filibuster, of course, is the big obstacle which faces the bill. The votes are there 10 pass it if it can get to a vote. It is already certain that a vote will be taken on a motion to consider the bill and make it the business before the senate. Senator Costigan has served noace that he will make that motion as soon as the Bank head farm homes act is disposed of. But already filibustering is going on on the Bankhead bill, to delay as long as possible any considera.ion of the anti-lvnching bill. One senator, supposed to be speaking on the Bankhead bill, delivered a long speech on the re cent airplane flight to Hawaii. Observers believe the senate will vote to take up the bill some time next week and that then the filibuster will start in earnest.' Senators Costigan and Wagner are on the floor every minute and are determined to press the bill. L is not certain as yet that Senator Huey Long of Louisiana will filibuster against the bill. The kii.gfish is rated as a smart man and while he will vote against the bill, he may not lead a filibuster, having his eve on 1936. Vo-uJeer Lobbyist Aid. Leading the workers and or ganizations who are supporting the bill is Walter White, Secre tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has been in Washing ton constantly since the first word came through that the bill would be taken up. Assis\ing in the many tasks and interviews is a group of volunteer whi e and colored workers, many of whom are not even members of the N. A. A. C. P. These in clude the lobby committee of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, the Washington representative of the national Y. W. C. A., Theodore Berry, president of the Cincin-1 nati, Ohio Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., John P. Davis, secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, Mrs. Virginia R. Me-j Guire, president of the District of Columbia branch, a former Long Island white woman now living in Washington, a white woman visit ing from Minnesota, and two1 young colored women from North Carolina. All these people have been assembling material, inter viewing senators, running errands, checking newspapers and seeing correspondents. In addition, Wil liam H. Hastie has prepared an exhaustive analysis of the wrhole question of constitutionality in cluding all cases which could be cited; and vice dean Charles H. Houston has made an analysis of all anti-lynching bills which havej ever been introduced in Congress. \ Telegrams Aid right. Telegrams from branches of the N. A. A. C. P. and other groups and individuals were effective in getting senators who might have remained away in to the senate and on the lookout for the bill. Steady communication with senat ors is urged by the N. A. A. C. P. from the voters back home. These messages ought not be offensive, but should be insistent and should be toned according to the known attidude of the isenator. They should urge resistance to any fili- j buster. In a fight like this, with the situation changing almost hourly, with hundreds of valuable con: tacts to be made, with the neces sity of instant action if success is to be won, the N. A. A. C. P. finds! itself lacking funds for the fight. In one day last week it was nec essary to spend fifty dollars in telegrams. At least fifty dollars more should have been spent, but the money even for the first fifty was lacking. Telephone calls, stenographic service and incident al expenses require money. “Now is the critical time,” said Walter White. “All the the splendid preliminary work will be wasted if we cannot press forward now that the actual fight on the floor of the senate is upon us. The need for money is desperate. Conditions are fa vorable for victory and it would be tragic if the need of funds should rob us of it.” Contributions should be rushed to the N. A. A. C.
