restilting evil—unemployment. It is
reactionary and I'epresents a definite
swing to continued security for the
”one-third" and insecurity for the
"two-thirds.”
The second (went on recorl concerns
the appointtnent of Aubi’ey Williams
to head the Kural l^lecti'ification Ad
ministration. ('(ingress, at this writing,
is conducting hearings in an eff(U't to
ascertain Williams' (|ualification for
the post. 'I'hese hearings go on in spite
of the records which show that Wil-
lims, as h(“ad of tlu' National \outli
Adininisti'ation, was a good adininis-
ti'ator and handhd li('tw(>en (!0() and
7(K) million dollars efficiently and hon
estly.
Willijinis is being attacked for ad
vocating a more abundant lif(“ foi' the
Nation's poor. Leading the attack is
the race-halting Senator liilbo of Mis-
sis,sippi, who labels Williams as a
('onimiuiist because of his liberal vi(‘ws
on racial relations and h(‘caus(‘ he com-
Iiletely subscribes to the "fair em|»loy-
nient jiractices act” and the opi'iiing of
cafeterias and wash rooms in the gov
ernment buildings to Negroes and
whites alike. I.abelling Williams as a
Comiiiunist is an accredited method
in congressional circles of killing oft
progressive tliinking.
Senatorial policy has faih*d to fol
low strictly iiarty lines in tliese two
events. It is entirely t'asy to mider-
•staiid wiiy the niiiiority iiarty of Ite-
puhlicans would op]iose confirmation
of these two nia.jority Jiarty (New
Deal) appointees; it becomes extreme
ly difficult to understand why the so-
called liberal New Dealers cotdd coii-
firui a “House of ..Morgan” Stettinivis
and a "Wall Street” ('laytoii and fail
to confirm liberals like Wallace and
Williams. Perhaps senators like P>ail(\v
sharp, Imt the ones who out shoiK' the
lights were "l'r(»die” .loiies, who wore
a sharp formal of a black lace top
and a y(^llow marcpiisette skirt : Vir
ginia .Johnson, the lady in the cute r(>d
net : Massie Scott who came in a
lovely fairly-like black dress decorat(‘d
with seiiuins: Rose Hogans in that
charming sophisticated chartreuse
dress \.ith )iur])le accessories, and
Simkins dress(Ml in a lov(‘ly iiiiik dress.

We can all agive that this was a
lov(‘ly way to end a .s(^niester, and a
superb way to rtdax after (‘xaniina-

'I'liank you so niucli, l’r(^sident and

Sincerely Yours.
'I'he (’lass of '4.5.
(if Nortli Carolina (Dem) and 'Paft of
Ohio (l{(>p) have the answer. 'Phis
writer believes tlie answer is to be
found in the reactionary trend .\nier-
ican thinking must take after the war.
if such senatorial policy persist.
Men and woiiK'ii, our classmates, our
iirothers and sisters, are giving their
lives today to bring a lasting peace to
a world now locked in tlie throes of a
total war, .\re we to believe tliat tlie
country to which those who are for
tunate to return wil be one dominated
by tlie thinking of a few reactionaries?
'I'lie (U'parture of the Senate from the
idt'al of progressive lilieralisni to out-
moulded reactionary thinking is a fact
that cannot he overlooked if plans for
full tMiiployinent are to be perfected.
Either, the voters must take steps to
reniov(‘ these r(‘actionaries or the pub
lic must prime itstdf to accept pre.sent
sen.'itorial policy that "no liberal need
apply" for important governmental
posts.
'I'lme and again, the nuijority in
Congr(^ss lias lost sight of the interest
of the whole community and has fav
ored certain special inter(^st groups.
Sooner or later the showdown must
come as to whether the reactionaries
reiiresenting spt'cial interest groups are
to run the country. 'I'here is only one
answer—and that answ(‘r is in our
selves. -Vs citizens, we must ket'p our
minds open and with our votes, we
must s('e that those who rejireseiit us
