Eleven Southern States quoted
Senator Frank P. Graham's!
stand against compulsory non
segregation in their argument to {
the Supreme Court in the famous
University of Texas case.
“The Court would serve all
concerned,” said the attorneys
general supporting Texas, “by
listening to liberal and fair
minded men who have no preju
dice but who have been in the
South and know the conditions.’’
Point 6 of the brief listed
“Southern members of President
Truman’s Committee on Civil
Rights, including Senator Frank
P. Graham of North Carolina,
formerly president of the Uni
versity of North Carolina and
liberal educator of national rec
ognition living in the midst of
this problem.”
The problem referred to is
segregation in schools.
The statement appears on page
fourteen of the brief filed “In
the Supreme Court of the United
States, October Term, 1949, No.
44. Herman Marion Swcatt, Pe
titioner, v. Theophilus Shickel,
Painter Et Al.” -
This is the ease in which the
Supreme Court ruled that the
University of Texas must not
segregate Negroes from white
students in its law school.
Senator Graham’s quotation
comes from the minority report
of the President’s Civil Rights
Commission, which Senator Gra
ham's principal opponent appear
ed unable to find during the
| course of the first Democratic
l primary.
I •
But Harry McMullan, attorney
general of North Carolina, and
ten other Southern attorneys
general were' able to locate this
i minority report.
And they \ised this minority
report to bolster their argument

Fames Ami Labor
Face Income Slash
By DAN SMYTH
Chicago Correspondent AFL
News Service
Chicago.—The full employment
program of President Truman'*
economic advisers is threatened
by a two-pronged attack of re
actionary interests, Joseph Keen
an, LLPE director believes.
Mr. Keenan participated in a
forum on “An Expanding Econ
omy for a Growing Nation."
The danger that now threatens
the full employment plan, he said,
is two-fold: ft) a threatened cut
in farm income, and (2) a threat
ened cut in worker's wages.
"The first attack on farm income
came in 1948,” Mr. Keenan sain,
"when Senator Taft said in a
speech in Nebraska that price
supports should he much less
than 90 per cent of parity.”
During the last two years, thei
LLPE chief continued, farm
nrices have dropped off 23 per
cent, while farm costs have gone
down only two per cent. Net j
farm income has declined about
a third.
"We in labor are concerned I
about the farmer’s troubles,” said
Mr. Keenan. “About 9,000,000
industrial jobs depend directly on
high farm income.”
The Taft-Hartley Act is a
threat to high wages, he added.
Also a part of the wage-cutting
pattern were the amendments to
the Wages and Hours Act, spon
sored by Senator Spessard Hol
land of Florida and Rep. W. H.
Lucas of Texas, which exempted
millions from the 75-cent mini
mum wage.
Goal of the wreckers is a 25-25
formula, Keenan charged—a 25
per cent cut in farm income and
a 25 per cent cut in workers’
wages.
"We cannot go forward,” he
concluded, “until we rid our
selves of the bloc of senators and
congressmen in both parties whose
policies will lead us into depres
sion.”
“FRANK GRAHAM IS AS
DANGEROUS AS THE
DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE”
(Continued From Page 2)
who shout at him and fear him
today were against him then.
“Is Senator Clyde R. Hoey a,
dangerous radical? This is what
he said of Frank Graham: “He
is as loyal as any American who
walks the earth . . . there has’
never been any question in North
Carolina about his loyalty to this j
country and its great traditions.”;
“Republican Senator Wayne j
Morse said of him, “He is the J
most Christ-like man I have ever
known.”
“Author• Gerald Johnson: “He
is no more Marxian than the
late Andrew Mellon . . . His!
friendliness is ope of'tha natu
ral wonders of North Carolina,
comparable to the height of lit.
Mitchell and the. sweep of the
hundred-mile beaches on the!
coast."
“North Carolinians, who have
always seen the greatness ip.
Frarfk Graham, have a high priv
ilege, the envy of millions of
voters of every other state in!
the Union: They can return to
the Senate one of the greatest'
living AmerH^jis, and one of the
towering figures of the history
of their state.”

for continued segregation in j
school in their brief to the Su- j
preme Court.
These attorneys general quoted
from pages 166 and 176 of “To
Secure These Rights,” the first
part of which says: “A minority
of the'committee favors the elim
ination of segregation as an ulti
mate goal but . . . opposes the
imposition of a Federal sanc
tion.?
Following the Supreme Court’s
ruling on the case this week.
Senator Graham commented: “I
appreciate the fact that the at
torneys general of all the South
ern states used my argument
against compulsory abolition of
segregation in presenting their
case to the Supreme Court.
“I still oppose, as 1 have al
ways opposed, the Federal gov
ernment’s forcing nojj-segaega
tion on states or regions.”

Hate-Labor Lobbies Defy Congress
Request For Names Of Rich Sponsors
WASHINGTON, — Two Icadert
of notorious anti-labor lobbies
face citation for contempt of
Congress because of their refusal
to furnish names of their secret
contributors to the House Lob
bying Committee.
They are Edward A. Rumcly
of the Committee for Constitu
tional Government and Joseph
Kamp of the Constitutional Edu
cation League.
Merwin K. Hart of the Na
tional Eccnimic Council bowed
to a congressional subpoena and
submitted the names of those
who contributed $1,000 or more
to his outfit between January 1,
and May 1, 1960.
Chairman Frank Buchanan of
the House committee made tt
plain that his committee is ready
4a> proceed with contempt cita
tions iagainst the others.'
“I deem the information sought
from these witnesses as abso
lutely necessary,” Mr. Buchanan
said. He summarized the facts
about the three outfits which have
consistently opposed all regres
sive, liberal, social and labor
legislation.
<On the floor of the House. Rep.
Andrew J. Biemiller assailed
what he termed the “hypocrital
squealing of the nation’s num
ber one hate lobby, the Commit
tee for Constitutional Govern
ment.”
After praising the House select
lobbying committee. Mr. Biemil
lar declared that the CFCG’s pro
tests against opening many of its
financial records to House inves
tigators “reveal fear of what is
likely to be found there.”
Biemiller said that Merwin K.
Hart of the National Economic
Council and Joseph Kamp of the
Constitutional Educational League,
the other groups under investi
gation, were members of the “in
terlocking directorate” of the
same over-all conspiracy.
In his item by item consider
ation of the CFCG’s official po
sition on concealing part of its
financial backing, • Mr. Biemiller
read from the CFGU's complaint
for an injunction against House
invesigators asking for the rec
ords.
The CFCG, said Mr. Biemiller.
asks that investigators be legal
ly denied access to records which
show who has bought more than
100 copies of any one of the com
mittee’s publications, notably
"Why the Taft-Hartley Law? by
I Irving G. McCann, "Compulsory
, Medical Care and the Welfare
State” by Melcoir Palyi, “The
Road Ahead” .by John T. Flynn,
[and "The Constitution of the
United States” by Thomas James
Norton.
I Yet the CFCG admits in its
.own complaint, Mr. Biemiller
| said, “that the funds derived
from the sale of such books and
other literature comprise approx
imately more than half of the in
come of the committee.’'
“Here.” declared Mr. Biemiller,
“is a group which deals with
t such legislative issues as the
i Taft-Hartley law, compulsory
health insurance and the Fair
Deal program by selling publi
cations for mass distribution and
I mailing out others under con
gressional franks. Here is an
organization which claims more
than half its income, estimated
at more than half a million dol
lars a year, comes from mass
.sales of these publications. And
yet it has the colossal gall to
say that such activities do not
constitute lobbying, that our in
vestigators cannot inquire about
the source of this income. How
contradictory and evasive can
you get?”
I “Let me read you a few sam
j pies of CFCG prose that may in
dicate why its financial sponsors
prefer to remain anonymous,”
Mr. Biemiller said. “Here are
| just a few:
I “ ‘When a future Edward Gib
bon write* tk history of the de
cline and fall of the American
republic, the date he will use te
mark the beginning of that de
cline will be March 1, 1913. On
that date the people sanctioned
federal taxation of incense . . /*»
“‘We must not be defeatists.
We must not say collective bar
gaining ia here te stay and there
is nothing we can d» about it.
re

“ ‘Is it net time for thoughtful
Americans to stop talking about
the right to strike and to rec
ognise the truth that . . . strikes
Ore unjustified to a civilised so
ciety !*"
“ ‘The probabilities are that we
could greatly improve the quality
of our legislation wore’ we wilt
ing to sacrifice the privilege of
knowing how our representative
votes.’ ”
Mr. Biemiller also hit at state
ments issued by similar groups
allied to tho CFCG, including
Fighters for Freedom and Amer
ica’s Future.
He then raised the question of
the CFCG’s position under the
corrupt practices status*.
Noting that the CFCG advised
contributors to send no amounts
of more than $490 so no report
would be required under congres
sional lobbying laws, Mr. Bie
miller asked if the lesser $100
limit of the corrupt practices
statutes should not be made ap
plicable instead.
“The CFCG claims that it is
not political, that it does not en
dorse candidates. It is true that
the committeg, does not endorse
candidates, but it is about as
nonpolitical as the Republican
National Committee. In its lex
icon of hate, no administration
supporter is any good.
“The House should give Mr.
Buchanan, the gentlemen from
Pennsylvania who is doing such
a fine job as chairman of the
1 lobbying investigating commit
tee, all possible co-operation. And
when we bare all the facts, the
House might well consider say
necessary changes in the corrupt
practices act or its application as
well as possible lobbying re
SUFFERING IS MINISTER
OF HAPPINESS
Suffering U unavoidable, but
Wien wo clearly perceive that it
is, when properly accepted, wksl
Iy remedial and most helpful in
the development of highest char
actor, it is a direct minister of
happiness, Troubles are the
tools by which God shapes us
into beauty and usefulness. Sor
row is Mt. Sinai where we may
talk with- the Lord face to face if
we will not be afraid of the
thunder and lightning. Trials are
the rough file to rub the rust off
eur virtues; they are the sharp
whirring wheels that cut and pol
ish the jewel of character; they
are the ilery furnace purging
•way the dross that the pure gold
may appear; they are the medi
cine* bitter but healing, that
cure us of our moral maladies
Sanctified afflictions are the shad
ows of God’s will. They show us
our weakness and drive us to
Chriirt. They wean us from the
world, and draw us toward heav

| Scriptural view of pain we shall
turn our crosses into crowns, our
burdens into blessings, through
union with Christ, and it may be
done so swiftly as to leave us
scarcely conscious of anything but
the blessing.
