_ - EDITORIAL ~
- Civil Rights

The outlook for civil rights legislation has been advanced.by the successful parliamentary maneuver the

other day.

It ~has been many a year since the senate had a
civil righits-bill on the calendar. Who is going to try to
hide behind the inaction of a committee now? The
measure was put on the calendar without referring it
to the Judiciary Committee by a vote (roll call) 45-39.
A similar civil rights bill has been bottled and stopped
up for months with the Committee. Sen. James Eastland,
Mississippi Democrat is ~head of the Judiciary Committee and has openly declared himself as an opponent
to the civil rights measure. Michnigan~s Sen. Poiter, Republican and McNamara. both voted with the majority.
Thirty four Democrats and five Republicans voted in
favor of sending the measure to the Committee,

Should this measure have been voted to go to the

committee it would ~have been subject to Vilibuster by |

southerm,oppgnents when recommending it'to the senate calendar...

Every effort will be made to get action before the} }
close of Congress but in the event that adjournment!

comes before the measure is brought up, it will be at
the start of the session next January.

Welcome |
48th Annual NAACP Convention |

We welcome the 48th Annual Convention of the NAACP.
Tuesday marked the event of a remarkable opening session

- which is being held here this week at the beautiful Veterans

Memorial Building.
It was. certainly made known by the mammoth crowd,

delegates, representing almost all ofthe States in the Union
that the NAACP ~Fight for Freedom~ means business.

The way in which the delegates expressed themselves
from the floor made every one present know that each and
every one there represented a body of people.

The report of the conference procedure submitted from
the platform created interest from the very start,

Tuesday~s program ~was only the beginning of conven- |

tion organization meetings, reports, regional méetings for
organization, mass meetings, etc.

The Convention will be in progress from June 25th
through June 30. One of the mass meetings will be held
Friday night. The highlight of the meeting will be the presentation of the Spingarn Medal to the Rev. Martin L. King |{
of Montgomery for his untiring efforts toward better race
relations. Another meeting for the general public will be
held Sunday at Detroit~s Olympia at 2:15 p.m -

We believe everyone should visit the convention and
welcome the representatives of the NAACP in their 48th
Session of ~The Fight for Freedom.~
