• NEW YORK. Nov. 4—As the
date for the cpecial aewion .of
CongresB nears, efforts are be-
Ins made in Washington to limit
the program of the spuuLul sui-
qioa and posti>one action on the
anti-lynching bill and plher con-
troveraial measures until the re
gular se&sion convenes in Jan.
Administration leaders nte re
ported to be working on a flye-
point program for the special
session embracing crop control,
wage and hour regulations, gov-
•rment^ reorganisation, regional
planning, and revision of the an
ti-trust laws.
If the program of the special
setMion is held to these five
points, it will mean that the an
ti-lynching bill -will be pa»se“d by
until the regular session in Jun.

is to get the anti-lynching bill

they go to Washington, urging
them to insist upon the inehinion
of the anti-lynching bill in tJ)e
epeeial session.
.T^ie bill already ^as paswd
the Houf«, but in order to limit
the special session program, a re
solution has to '1^ passed by bofh
the House' and ffie. Senate, and
therefore, congressmen who a1

Another danger which the N
AACP warns against ih the pos
sibility that there wil| be an at
tempt to eliminate from the bill
the section imposing a flnlnwti-
penalty on the counties
where lynchings occur. Thij in
the most important section of
the ibill and is the one which

calendar. For the past four weeks ^rawn the sharpest criticWm
both the foes of the anti-lynch
ing bill and of the Roosevelt ad
ministration have been agitating
against the anti-lynching bill.
The foes'-of the anti-lynching
bill, of course, are seeking any
method iby which they can tie up
the bill. They know the vor^ia
we" there to pass it. (but if the*?^
can juggle the program in any
way, taking advantages of ttny
"breaks,” they intend to do so.
The foes of the Roosevelt ad
ministration are4Ufing every op
portunity to enubnrrass the Presi
dent’s program and are working
the anti-lynching bill overtime.
The NAACP, which is heading
the forces seeking the enacttiicnt
from opponents. The NAACP
points out that every anti-.'ynch
ing bill n6w on the ibooks of the
various states contains a ptnnity
provision. The South - Carolina
anti-lynching law has a provi
ston that 4he counties may be
finsd ?2K)00.
Every effort should be made
to resi!it the attempts to amend
the bill and. remove this penalty,
for without this section the bill
will have practically no tee^h.
There is also the ever present
danger of a filibuster which
must be fought, and voters
should make their wishes knov.n
to their cofigres'taen witliJUl
lay.
