Continued from page seven
telegrams.
It shotdd be remembered that
the Senate has been occupied al
most evclusively with the su
preme court plan, which has ex
cited. Washington and country
at lai^e as has nothing else in
many years. Many senators are
not aware of the great senti
ment in the country for the
*ntA4ynching bill. They must be
told by their citizens,back homo
that the bill must be passed^^
Such a great volume of mail is
being received by senators on the
court plan that whereverpossible
telegrams should be sent in order
—
to command attention.
I Letters should be sent to Sena
tor Wagner and Senator Frede
rick Van Nuys at the Senate Of
fice Building here pledging them
support from the country in the
militant fight they will make to
get the bill up for a vote.
Editors and readers of the
Negrit press are urged to send in
editorials asking passage of the
bill to their own two senators
and to Senators Wagner and Van
Nuys.
The Wagn^Van Nuys, anti-
lynehing bill is schaduled to come
out of the judiciary committee
shortly, now that the committee
has concluded hearings on the
supreme court plan. A sub-com
mittee of the judiciary committee
will consider th« bill and make a
report.
Meanwhile Congressman G«va-
gan's office here continues to
’deceive heavy mail congratula
ting h'im on the passage of his
bill and asking what further aid
is needed in getting the bill
through the Senate. These letters
are coming from colored and
white people and orgranization*
in the North as well as the South.
