SENATE REACHES NEW LOW
INSULTING NEGROES, JEWS,
IN FIGHT ON FEPC.
Washington, DC.,—A new low rec
ord in insulting Negroes and Jews
was reached in the Senate June 20
when Senators Bilbo of Mississippi,
McClelland of Arkansas, Russell of
Georgia, and Eastland of Mississippi
aided by Maybank of South Carolina
tossed racial epithets about freely to
the shock and amazement of persons
in the gallery.
Eastland reached the nadir when
he shouted a protest against white
stenographers having to take dicta
tion from "hurr headed niggers.”
Later in the Congressional Record
this was corrected to read : “Negroes"
Bilbo, Eastland's partner from Mis
sissippi ranted in a long rambling
speech against Negroes, Jews, the
NAACP, A. P. Randolph, Howard
university, Walter White, Secretary
Morgenthau, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
Mayor LaGuardia and others. His
greatest insult was offered to Mrs.
Roosevelt as he said he “might con
sider" making her queen of Liberia,
after he had deported two and a half
million Negroes to that country.
ilbo aso virtually advocated mob
violence in Washington by stating
that white citizens ought to take tbe
law into their own hands in the mat
ter of residential segregation.
Eastland suggested to McClelland
during the latter’s speech that the

“white race” is being discriminated a- ]
gainst in the government and assert
ed “we have in fact today a govern
ment of minority groups who control
this country,” and concluded by say
ing “in other words, a white person
a member of the Caucasian race, is
today discriminated against, imposed
upon and humiliated in the govern
ment departments in the city of
Washington.”
This was interpreted as a statement
that Jews and Negroes now control
the government.
The most significant action on the
floor came at the conclusion of Mc
Clelland’s diatribe during which he
used the word “nigger” repeatedly,
when Senator Guy Gillette, Democrat
of Iowa, walked over and shook
hands with McClelland, congratulat
ing him on his speech.
The appropriation of $500,000 for
FEPC was finally adopted but three
amendments were also adopted which
will restrict the work of the commit
tee, even though it now ahs life until
June 30. 1945.

GEORGE BURROWS AWAITS
DEPORTATION AT MIAMI. ..
New York—Word hts been receiv
ed here by the NAACP that George
Burrows, extradited from New York
last year to Gulfport, Miss., on a
charge of shooting two white men in
a hotel there, is at Miami, Florida, a
waiting deportation to the British
West Indies. At the time Burrows
was extradited on orders of Govei -
nor Thomas E. Dewey, there was
great fear that he would be lynched
when returned to Mississippi. How
ever, the NAACP engaged a leading
attorney of ulfport to defend him and
after several months all charges a
gainst Burrows were dismissed, and
he was ordered deported.
