BILL OF RIGHTS ANNIVERSARY

President Roosevelt Accepts Honorary Chair-
manship of Committee

On Dec. 15 will occur the
150th anniversary of the adop-
tion of the Bill of Rights. The
Rights are contained in the first
10 amendments to the Constitu-
tion. Within them is to be
found, according to historians,
the soul of the document. The
President of the United States
is the honorary chairman of the
Bill of Rights Sesqui-Centennial
which is being arranged by the
Council Against Intolerance in
America.
The celebration is to be na-
tionwide in its observance. The
Sesqui-Centennial Committee is
composed of reprsentatives of all
faiths, drawn from all sections
in America, and includes leaders
of those national organizations

with the duty of upholding the
ideals of tolerance and equality
written into the law of the land
through the Bill of Rights. Her:
bert Bayard Swope is National
Chairman of the Celebration
Committee.
Despite the self-imposed re-
striction which ordinarily pre-

official ones, President Roosevelt

Centennial Celebration Commit-
tee in a letter to Mr. Swope : He
states:

"Ordinarily, I do not ac-
cept honorary posts in con-
nection with observances with
which I do not have an official
connection. This in because of
the great number of invita-
tions which come to me asking
support of very meritorious
undertakings.
"Because of the outstand-
ing character of this anni-
versary I shall be happy to
become the Honorary Chair-
man."

Honorary vice-chairmen are:
Vice-President Henry A. Wal-
lace, Speaker of the House Sam
Rayburn, former Chief Justice
of the United States Charles
Evan Hughes, former President
Herbert Hoover and these former
Presidential candidates: James
M. Cox, Democratic, 1920; John
W. Davis, Democratic, 1924; Al-
fred M. Landon, Republican,
1936; Alfred E. Smith, Demo-
cratic, 1928; Wendell Willkie,
Republican, 1940.

fraternal, civic" organizations, and
churches of every creed will be
asked to participate in the cele-
bration and it is planned that on

from without and the disruptive
forces within by proclaiming
staunch adherence to the prin-
ciples enunciated in the Bill of
Rights.
