ATLANTA—It's being buried
in the public prints under the
avalanche of sound and fury
generated by Dixie's segrega-
tion-minded legislators, but there
is plenty of public support in
the South for President Tru-
man's civil rights program.
For the first time since Re-
construction ,Days, progressive
elements below the Mason-Dixon
line united here at a southwide
conference to speak their mind
about prejudice, discrimination
and civil rights.

mation League of Bnai Brith,
the Southern Regional Council,
Members of the ADL committee of the Greater Detroit Bnai
Brill' Women's Council present the pamphlet, "Your Neighbor

that this leader of the Rabbi
Mandel M. Zager Chapter was

an interracial organization of

11 other prominent organiza-
tions representing every faith
and the denominations predom-
inant in the South, the confer-
ence tossed the "we're bet*
mongrelized!" cry back into the
teeth of Southern demagogues
by recommending the following:
1. Federal anti-lynching legis-
lation.
2. A fair employment prac-
tice law, so that no one will be
denied "equal opportunity to be
employed, with opportunities
for advancement according to
ability and skill."
3. Elimination of the poll tax
and "other barriers to the bal-
lot."
4. Unsegregated graduate and
professional schools.
5. More highly qualified po-
lice, including police training
in the field of civil rights.
