BARKLEY ASKED TO
SET DATE ON TAKING
UP LYNCHING BILL
Washington, D. C.—Now that
the Sehate judiciary committee has
reported the anti-lynching bill fa
vorably. Senator Alben W. Bark
ley of Kentucky, majority leader,
is being asked to set a date when
the bill will come up in the Sen
ate for debate and action.
Supporters of the bill were urg
ed by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple to take the following steps:
(1) Write Senator Alben W.
Barkley, Senate Office Building,
Washington, D. C., urging him to
set a date when the anti-lynching
bill will be considered.
(2) Write to senators from their
states urging them to work to
bring the anti-lynching bill to a
vote and to vote for it; also urge
them to vote for cloture (limita- i
tion of debate) if a filibuster
should develop against the bill.
(3) Get as many individuals and
organizations as possible to write
senators urging that the anti
lynching bill be passed. Form let
ters, form telegrams, and printed
post cards are not very effective.
Letters should be individually writ
ten to have the most weight.
The NAACP also has issued an
appeal for funds to help carry on
the fight, pointing out that the
bill now has the best chance of
of passing in the long history of
the fight for this type of legisla
tion.
Before leaving for Washington
Thursday, March 28, to organize
the political forces working for
passage of the Bill, Walter White,
executive secretary of the NAACP
termed a recent column written by
Mark Sullivan, New York Herald
Tribune columnist, the “last stand
of a confirmed reactionery, a stand
based on the deliberate distortion
of facts, and calculated to do

considerable harm to democratic
goodwill, because of the author’s
pron. inence.”
Suilivan had said in his column,
dated March 28, that lynching has
been diminishing for the past
seventy years and declared the an
ti-lynching fight was being pursu
ed without sincerity by both major
parties in order to snare the Negro
vote.
Senator Tom Connally, of Texas,
who led the filibuster against the
bill in the special session of Con
gress in 1937 and in the regular
session in 1938, announced that
passage of the bill would be “re
sisted to the utmost."
The vote of the judiciary com
mittee was 12 to 4 with the follow
ing members voting favorably:
Committee Chairman Henry F.
Ashurst, (D) of Arizona; M. M.
Neely, (D) of West Virginia; Pat
McCarran, (D) of Nevada; Van

Nebraska; Warren R. Austin (R)
of Vermont; Elexander Wiley,
(R) of Wisconsin, and Robert A.
Taft (R) of Ohio. Senator Taft is
a candidate for President.
Voting against the measure
were: Key Pittman (D) of Neve
da; John E. Fuller, (D) of Arkan
sas; Connally, and A. B. Chandler,
(D) of Kentucky.
Senators Taft and Pittman were
absent when the ballot was taken
but they had their votes recorded.

MEET
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 6 (AN
P)—Threatening to have all Ne
gro delegates present at the State
Republican convention here last
week, walk out, R. A. Brooks of
Aiken, obtained an apology for use
of the term, “darky" by a white
speaker at the session.
The issue was not raised until
shortly before adjournment. The
Brooks arose from one side of the
hall and walked toward the front.
He spoke of his services as a dele
gate and his desire to treat all fair
ly.
“We feci we have been insulted
here and we want an apology. We
feel we were insultd when we were
called “darkies”, he stated.
A few minutes before, M. O.
Dunning, white, former collector
of the port of Savannah, now with
law offices in Washington, had
made a short speech in which he
told several humorous stories in
which he referred to “darkies” on
his father’s place.
Dunning stood up and said, “You

To replace the revenue lost by a reduced property tax, advocates
licensing of the saloon (permitted to sell both beer and hard liquor),
