Second FEPC Vote Set For July 12th;
Nation Urged To Press Senate On
New Yurk — W’itk the sucoud

dei'mitely .si't lot- July 12, lead
ers ol' the >.aliu)iul Associaiiou
for the Ad\ aiicemoiit of Colored
1‘eople this \veek urged iiutiou-
wide aetiou by individuals aud
groups to yet senators to vote
for cloture iii order to shut off
discussion on the motion to
bring up the measure.
“Every citizen should write
his senator to vote for clo
ture,” declared Walter White
NAACP secretary.
Itoy Wilkins, administrator
of the Association, who has been
active all winter in the el'fort to
seeui-e passage of FEl’C legisla
tion, pointed oul. that special re-
(luests to volt' raviH’ably ^siiould
be made ul' the live Deiiioc-ratH

gain.st KKI’t; .May 1!», the six
Jlepublieans who voted against
it, and tiu- nine Dtnioerats and
three K‘])iihlieaiis who were ab
sent.
“Both parties are on the
spoL with the i iCPC bill," Mr.
Wilkins said. “Tiiu Democrats
cannot claim to be ior civil
rights in the lull election it
they cannot even pass a mo
tion to take up the bill. The
Kepubiicans are slightly bet
ter, but they don’t look too
tood as the party of Abraham
i^incoln with six Senators vot
ing against fair employment.
The yenate has lidaled with
this bill all session; on July
12 we will know who is truly
for civil rights and who is
just playing lag.”
Tile absent iJemoerats were:
Dennis (Jliavez, New j\lexieo; J.
Allen i*’rear, Jr., Delaware;
Sheriiluu Downey, (jalilornia;

JIave yon ever taken a ride

noticed the hroail red brick
building on the right known as
the Tuberculosis Sanatorium if
And if you liav(‘, did you ever
st(>[) lo think what went on in-
>iid(‘ that i)uilding?
There are more than fifty
people there ,each of them a
victim of the dreaded disease
known as tuberculosis. Ap
proximately half of them are
Negroes, half, white; some are
young, some old; some of
them have families, others
don’t; some will be cured and
able to leave, others will be
there the rest of their lives.
But in spite of their differ
ences in race, religion, and
age, they’re all human beings
as you or I, each with their in
dividual temperaments, needs,
thoughts, beliefs and feelings.
During the ptust six months
your Tuberculosis Association
I lias been sponsoring a plan
known as the Patient Friend

is this. An individual or an or-

South Dakota; George W.
Malone, Nevada; Karl E.

Milton R. Young, North

Wilkins noted that on May
May 19, FEPC cloture received
52 votes ^ 33 Republicans and
19 Democrats. Twenty-six Dem
ocrats and 6 Republicans voted
“no”. Cloture requires 64 votes.

tor urged that letters and tele

attors at the Senate Office
Building, Washington, D. C.
ganization choses to sponsor a
patient as a “friend.” It is the
duty' of the sponsor to make life
pleu-saut for the patient by writ
ing cheerful letters, visiting the
patient, as often as possible
sending small gifts from time to
time, and possibly supplying
the patient with necessary bed
garments, toilet articles, and
the like.
Church and Sunday School
groups among the white peo
ple have responded to this
plan with a great deal of en
thusiasm, and at the ptesent
time every white patient in
the sanatorium is being spon
sored. Now an appeal is being
sent to the Negro groups in
hopes that they, too, will be
come interested and do their
part to help bridge the gap be
tween the 24 Negro patients
and the community life and to
keep it bridged until they are
ready to return to their homes.

extra funds for special drugs,
but can’t seem to find a means
of acquiring them He likes to
read, especially light books,
and enjoys talking about fish

and right now he is in need of
some pajamas and toilet arti
cles.
If this little graphic picture
of a man who seems pretty much
alone in the world appeals to
you and your club members or
fellow church workers, why not
volunieer to sponsor him as a
friend? The burden on your
shoulders is extrt'Tuely light
when compared to the pleasure
he’ll derive. *Vnd the better his
mental attitude, the ()uieker his
physical condition will improve.

the story of another patient
for you next week.
