ASKS DATE FOR ANTI-MOB BILL ACTION
Barkley Asked
To Set Date For
Senate Hearing
WASHINGTON, — Now that
Senate judiciwy coimnittee ha* |
X(parted the uiiti-iyiiiciiing bill
favorsibly, 'iicnator Alben W.
Barkley of Kentucky, majority
leader, ii beint; asked to set a
date when the bill will come up
ir the Senate ft>r debate and
action. ' r-
J5uj>por4ers of the bill were
ur}fed by the National Associa
tion for the Advancement oi
Colored PeopU to take the
fcUowing Btepe:
1) Write Senator Alben W.
Bptrtiey,-Senate Office iiuildins
Wa«hingtoi), 1). C., urging him
to act t date when the anti>
lynching bill will be considered.
2) Write to senators fro*”,
their states urging them to work
to bring the anti lynching bill
to a vote and to^vote for it; alao
ntge them to vote for cloture
(limitation of debate) if a
buster should develop against
the bill.
3) Get as many individuals
and organizations as possible to
wiite senators urging that the
anti lynching bill be passed.
Perm letter*, form tekgrame,
and printed post cards are not
very effective. Letters should be
individually written to have the
moat weight. . • —
Tte NAACP also has issued
an appeal for funds to help
cf.rry on the fight, pointing out
that the bill now has the beat
cLance of passing in the long
history of the fight for this
tvpe of legislation.
Before leaving for Washing
ton Thursday, March 28, to or-
gani*e the political forces work-
iftg ior passage of the Bill, Wal
ter White, executive secretary
of the NAACP termed a recent
column written by Mark Sulli
van, New Yfrk Herald Tribune
columnist, the “last stand of a
confirmed reactionery,. a stand
baxed on the deliberate distor
tion of facts, and calculated to
do considerable harm t« demio.-
cratit goodwill, because of the
author’s prominence.”
Sullivan had said in hia column,
dat^d March 28, that lynching
has been diminbhing for the past
se' enty years and declared the
anti-lynching fight was being
pursued without sincerity by
both maior parties in order to
srare the Negro vote.
Senator Tom Connally, of
Texas, who led the filibuster
against the bill in the special
session of Congress in 1937 and
announced that passage of the
b:lJ would be “registered to the
utmost.”

BEHIND THE APRON
By Herman J. •D. Carter
CHAPTKR II
Synopiia
John has found a waitresa who is !iffsr/‘nt ttom most >(wrftrMWps.
Not the flirty kind. He likes her, but he is having difficulty in meet
ing her. At last he has thought of a plan. Does it work? Read this
revelation sent to you by Nadinol* Bleaching Cream, then buy it to
show your appreciation for their kindness in creating a market ^or
young Negro authors. Go on with the atory.
Thank you sir,” she said when he returned her the chan^ as
• tip with a pleasant gesture, and smiled.
Then she went back to th« water counter and began to wash
glasses. Every now and then she would glance at him to see it he
wanted anythmg else. Then she would drop her eyes to the trough of
glasses and continue her task. Just enough glances to see if he wanted
anything is all she threw in his direction.
He became more and more^roubled. He had spent more money
than he desired, and still had not made any progress. He had been in
the habit of flirting with the waitresses but tnis one was different. He
knew It, and dared not flirt with her. He saw something different in
her. She was the marrying kind.
What was her background T Where had she been all his lifeT He
knew most everyone in the city; but this one was stranger than all
the others. He thought of handing her his business card; but that was
the way all “big snots” did who came to the hotel to stay a short
while, and wanted company to party with them. No. She would not
fall for that. He could see It in her very eyes, in her color, and in her
every move. She had aomething behind that aprpn, A task to per
form; a job to finish. She was a real find. He_ knew It. He wanted
her for himself. A life long companion, but letting her know it was
hia problem. She would never believe him if he told her so; because
all men said the same thing when flirting, and she had no way of
knowing he was sincere. *
He looked into the future and pondered. Should he hand her his
business card? She would probably smHe, take It and put it into her
DSKdcet with a pleasant thank you. assuring him of interest, and that
sifodd be an. No that irever dtn- That -was not^ the way to-

“make” this girl. She was dressed like the other waitresses; but she
was different. She was some different being hidden behind an apron.
Another customer came in and sat in the front of the cafeteria
near the door. She dried her hands and walked over to him to take
his orter.
John wracked his brain for a method to attract her attention; but
all seem hazy within him. Then an idea struck him, and he unbuttoned
hia coat and put his left hand in his trouser’s pocket so he could
flash his fraternity pin which was fastened to his vest below his
heart. Maybe she was fraternity conscious. He knew that women of
all classes loved his fraternity. As she passed by him she glanced
v^h a smile, but said nothing and continued her -treck towards the cage
to place her order.
Evidently she didn’t see his pin. Surely she would have smiled if
she had, he thought. She must see it in order to know he was not like
the common Wife who hung around the Blue Bird all night and picked
up policy tickets all day or loafed and fought each other over crap
^mes, then got drunk on Sunday’s. He turned to face her as she
passed before him again, and wiped his pin with a handkerchief. But
she still didn’t notice it. In fact her only attention was bent on serving
him and all other customers alike.
Near mid-night, the plac« became miet. She was washing glasses.
ji ordered another pop. She received the order and turned to serve
her Customer. As he drank it, he hungered to say one word to her.

She was the marrying type, he knew. The kind all men want. The
kind all men create in their dreams. The kind all men want to be the
mother of their sons.
OhI If she only knew him as he was. He thought.
