The 20 state legislatures now working on FEPC (aha

Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,

Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is- |

land, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia. In many of these
states the chances for FEPC legislation are unusually bright.
LEWIS GETS SMART; CALLS OFF STRIKE

The Republican controlled congress is having a hard
time making up its mind about labor legislation. Public opin
ion, according to the Gallup poll, is running against the Re- |
publicans and the unions are keeping out of strike situations

which inflame the public mind.

In bowing to the decision of the supreme court John L. |
Lewis for. the United Mine Workers, AFL, has removed. the |

one threat which would have aroused the country against

labor. Once aroused the bitter enemies of labor in congress
could have easily legislated labor into a suffocating legal
straightjacket. As things stand now they are finding the going tough against strong determined AFL and-CiO opposition
and public indifference.

And CIO and AFL opposition is just now being felt.
The two powerful federations of labor. are just now~ mobiliz:
ing the post card, létter-writing and -visit-your-congressman
campaigns. Labor will of course be satisfied with a decision
in the form.of a compromise, but is trying desperately for a
knock-out.

~GOVERNOR TALMADGE REACHES FOR HIS HAT

Herman Talmadge, pretender to the governorship of
Georgia, has relinquished his claims to that high office as
gracefully as a southern gentleman should. Of course he had
the benefit of the opinion of the Georgia Supreme court, but
the courts, even in Georgia, have often made clear to the
ambitious the difference between grace and disgrace.

~Gov.~ Talmadge had some sort of claim to the gov:
ernorship of Georgia and he might have stretched a point |
here and there on the premise that possession is nine points
of the law. To the ex-*~Governor~s~~~ credit and in spite of
his high-handed methods he maintained from the beginning
that he would abide by -the decision of the courts. There
aren't many white men in Georgia who are as respectful of
the law and the courts. Too many of them love to take
~matters in. their own hands.

AAs for Negroes they don~t have much to hope for. The
Talmadge white- -primary bill is dead, but the: Thompson
forces are working desperately to dea up another to make
a joke of the Negroes~ right to vote. Perhaps it is too much
to. hope that these honorable southern gentlemen. will be
mote respectful of the spirit of the opinions of the Unitec

70 other states. The enemies of FEPC Sey ex-~

Washington Correspondents Irked
At Admitting Negro to Press
Galleries; Many Protest

'.WASHINGTON ~ ANP
The standing committee of correspondents, following a meeting
Wednesday, notificd Senator C.

* Wayland Brooks (R~, Ill.) chair- |

man.of the senate
mittee, that it was issuing an
admission card for both the senatg and house press galleries to
Louis R. Lautier, first Negro to

be admitted to. the press galler- |

ies since 1871.

Many press gallory correspondents, irked at the stand taken
by the senat2> rules committee
on Tuesday overriding the stand
ing committees decision not to

> admit Lautier to the galleries,
urged the committee to resign
en bloc as a protest in order to

bring the ~~controversy~ ~to a
head,
The committee in stating its

position since th2 reversal order
said: ~The unprecedented action of the senate rules com~mittee in overriding the stand_ing committee places Mr. Lautier in the incongruous position
of being accredited to one press
gallery and not to the other.~

' The committee, believing such
a-position is unfair to the cor
tives of the weekly press, white
and Negro, to both galleries,~
the five-man standing committee informed Senator Brooks in
their letter Wednesday.

Continuing, the letter ~ said,
Pending any action on the larger question of whether the galleries are to be directly regulated by the correspondents them| selves or by your committee,
| the standing committee wishes
to repeat its belief that the problem of gallery facilities for the
entire weekly press is still unsolved and to-reaffirm its regret that your committee refused to join with us in an ~effort
to solve that problem.~~

On Wednesday a group of
press correspondents started a

When those atomic bombs fell upon hapless Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, they did more than destroy thousands of defenseless Japanese. It. is quite possible that those bomb detroyed the moral leadership of the United States and with it
probably democracy throughout the world.

It is. quite unfortunate for démocracy when desnocratic
nations hurl atomic bombs. It is doubtful if democracy will

Harry Truman the responsibility for the debacle that vexes
Palestine. Even those who hold Truman in slight esteem could
not be brought to believe that Bevin is justified in trying to

in getting that fat loan for Britain which will in all probability
never be paid.

The very quickness with which Engfand is ready to slap
its benefactor, proves the point that nobody loves the rich
Uncle Sam who says it with billion-dollar checks. The fact is,
the nations cannot love a nation which they fear. Nations

The world confusion that is upon us can in large measure be attributed to the lack of moral leadership which we
relinquished along with the atomic bombs. It has come about
that the.strong nations are ones that the smaller nations cannot irust. We are in the lead because we ledd with dollars.
Our dollars talk for us in: the councils of the nations. The
danger.is that even our dollars cannot outlast the subtle fear):

strongest nations lack qualities of moral leadership. This is
easily the major question of the hour!
