Fort Bragg Soldier Has Reason To Be Thankful For Blood Contributions POST HEADQUARTERS. FORT BRAGG. N. C. There'-- a soldier I at the Fort Brass U.

Johnson says. ‘'The fact that I am still alive today is duo to the promptness with which I i received the transfusion while : still on the field of butt.h and I | have nothing but praise for the !pt opl- throughout the Ur Red States who are contributing to the Armed Forces blood bank every day,” Pvt. Johnson says the Chi nese attacked the hill some time early in the morning and shortly after, he received a piece of shrapnel through his side and arm, It wasn’t very long after that until hi- was receiving a transfusion at the field hospital, and twenty-four i hours later via* in an Army The Republican nominee himself bi ought up the qin-sttun of the filibuster by stating that he was opposed filibusters, but he could not promise to do anything about changing the Scucale rule*. Mr. Wilkins said that Rule 22 in the Senate, sponsored bj the late Sen ator Wherry (Rep., Nebi ) was a "fraud’' in posing as a compro mise plan that would permit pas ge of civil rights bills, vvhtfb actually it is the greatest road block to such bills The Geneva! . (■stoned attentively to a descrip tion of how the rule woiks to sill legislation by icquirnig" 6*l ’ vtncs to stop a filibuster, and by j j. ovidirig that no motion to change the rule can be shut off j by any kind of vote, 84 or other- i wise vv- n 95 out of tht 96 in! the Senate. “This means,” said Mr Wilkins, "that all platform promises on ci vil rights are just so much Inn guiu-o without meaning as long as nothing is done about a chiuirte! in rules." After the interview Mr. Wilkins said Gen. Eisenhower hud ini-’ pressed him as being sincere and •hone.-it, but not willing to commit himself except in general terms. He seems to be sincerely op posed to racial discrimination and honest in his tention to do some thin about it, but he does not. say h< » Even m his positive declara tion on segregation in the Dis trict of Columbia he said little more than that he would want it abolished. His stand against FEPC in unfortunate because it reveals that in spite of the well knit w n diserimiation against Negroes in employment, and in spite of the fact that only a tew of the states have pas sed effective FEPC laws. Gen. Hsenhower still believes that the farthest the Federal gov ernment should go is to sur vey the problem and advise tile states.
