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, Zionist Youth Elect Field, Crohn, Chairmen At a recent election of the Zion- ist Youth Commission Walter Field and Lawrence Crohn were elected co-chairmen of the Youth Commission.

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."

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 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.

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. ✓ TACKED-DOWN CARPETS Page Thirteen OMR YOUR COPY NOW dlier bow Mom 11061.6
