Detroit Welcomes Assembly
Of Council of Federations
By CHARLES BENSON
WASHINGTON — The voices
of disunity . .. are beginning to
cry aloud again. We must learn
constantly to turn deaf ears to
them. They are voices which fos-
ter fear and suspicion and intol-
erance and hate. They seek to de-
stroy our harmony, our under-
standing of each other, our Amer-
ican tradition of 'live and let live.'
They have become busy again,
trying to set race against race,
creed against creed, farmer against
city dweller, worker against em-
ployer, people against their own
government. They seek only to do
us mischief. They must not pre-
vail."
Those were the next to the last
words of President Truman's re-
cent message to Congress. The
clerk of the Senate had barely
finished reading them, when the
filibuster against the Fair Em-
ployment Practices Commission bill
was resumed, for the third day,
with North Carolina leading the
attack.
In a maneuver to force Senate
consideration of the bill, Senator
Dennis Chavez, Democrat of New
Mexico, one of the authors of the
legislation, had successfully secur-
ed agreement to a motion to
bring it up for debate in the week
before the Presidential message
was delivered. Then the storm
broke. Southern Senators charged
into the fray. No controversial
legislation was to be brought up
at this time, particularly when
pressing measures for reconver-
sion, demobilization, labor took
precedence. Chavez pointed out
that of all the bills mentioned by
the gentlemen from Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, et al, only the FEPC had
been reported out of committee —
and that last May — and was
therefore long since ready for Sen-
ate consideration. Senator George
of Georgia, quivering with rage,
assailed the Democratic Party,
warned that "free men" among
the Democrats would not follow
the party will, and thundered in
the direction of the White House,
If this is all that Harry .Truman
has to offer, God help the Demo-
cratic Party in 1946 and 1948."
The Southern Senators then de-
vised the filibuster strategy which
has been hamstringing the senior
chamber of the Congress. They
called for the reading of the Sen-
ate journal for the preceding day,

In the meantime the Senate is
reverberating with a flood of mis-
representation, distortion and con-
fusion of the aim of the FEPC
bill. That aim is simple: to pre-
vent discrimination in employment
because of race, color, creed or
ancestry. Thomas Jefferson once
expressed the wish that newspa-
pers would label their contents
under four headings: 1. Truths.
2. Probabilities. 3. Possibilities. 4.
Lies. A reader of the "Congres-
sional Record," or even a listener
to these days of ugly debate might
wish the same.
FEPC will nationalize industry,
it will force employers to hire
Negro and Jewish workers to the
detriment of white Holy Rollers.
It will create a monumental em-
ployment agency and invite all the
aliens to our shores. It is a sub-
versive monstrosity. It is a cor-
ruption of the Constitution.
Senator Chavez rises to object,
to explain for the umptieth time,
the true purpose of the bill — to
prevent discrimination in hiring
and firing, not in any way to regu-
late employment or dismissal.
With elaborate courtesy, Senator
Russell of Georgia drawls, "I ac-
quit the Senator of any desire to
overthrow the government."
A well-known columnist, himself
of the South, walks into the press
gallery during Senator Russell's
five-hour rant, and asks, "Are the
Confederates still in charge?"
He is answered the following
day, in print, by another well-
known columnist, Marquis Childs:
"We talk about reconverting
from a war that ended in 1945.
We are still, it seems, reconverting
— the word they used then was
reconstructing — from a war that
ended in 1865."

functional agencies and inter-city
arrangements for dealing with
such problems.
Dr. E. M. Bluestone, superintend-
ent of the Montefiore Hospital,
New York City, spoke on com-
munity planning for the care of
persons with long time illness. Dr.
Bluestone discussed the medical
aspects of the problems of the
chronic and aged and other groups
in the population. He also de-
scribed the planning of effective
programs for the care of such ill-
ness and the utilization of hospi-
tals, other health agencies, homes
for the aged and general com-
munity service.
General Session
The Friday afternoon general
session began at 2:30 o'clock and
was devoted to community plan-
ning for 1946 financing. The prin-
cipal paper was presented by Isi-

the Jewish Welfare Federation of
Detroit, as chairman of a commit-
tee which also included Charles
Brown of Los Angeles, Samuel
Daroff of Philadelphia, Herman
Gilman of Waltham, Mass., Stan-
ley Myers of Miami, and Harris
Perlstein of Chicago, Ben Sadow-
ski of Toronto and Joseph Witten
of New York. The subject dis-
cussed involves the special and
emergency problems which Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
face in 1946, in addition to over-
seas needs and their capital funds
campaigns by national and over-
seas, as well as local agencies.
Analyze Trends
The committee report analyzed
the trends and recommended basic
policies for local federations and
welfare funds. Representatives of
national and overseas agencies
participated in the discussions and
there was also a report from the
recently appointed Council of Fed-
erations Committee on Relation-
ship to the United Jewish Appeal
and to emergency and capital
fund campaigns of national and
overseas agencies.

and by proposals to amend, change
and correct the journal, made that
the business before the Senate. By
voting cloture, or limitation of
debate, the Republican Senators
together with the non-filibuster
Democratic Senators, could close
down the spectacle, and force a
vote on the bill. But cloture is
rarely invoked and it is certain
that it will not be on this occa-
sion. The Republicans, threaten-
ing a continuous session, which
would compel the filibusterers to
hold the floor without interrup-
tion, are enjoying themselves and
gathering political ammunition.
