After more than a dozen years of almost abject subserviency to the executive will, Congress has dftcarded the rubber stamp and la seeking to return to a position- of equality Ivith the executiVe branch. , A refreshing and encouraging summary of 80th Congress achievements has been mad. by the editors of Fortune magazine. Writing, In their June issue they say: "Not since the first Congress, which plemented Abe, Constitution, has any Congress dispatched more important public bust. nese with more thorough thought kaid care more and, on Its own wthossed judgmerit,rightiy than the 80th Congress."a time of grave crisis anddivision between executive and legislative branches, the 80th Congress has acted with telligent decision. It bas restored faith in government by discussion at a time when that has .seemed to many. to be a losing propo- , sition. "The prOpf of this record rests not Only in the enlightened, action that Congress tOok In respect to foreign policy, but in its Very real accomplishments in domestic policy:- "The measure of the 80th Congress is the way it met the challenge aggressive Com- 1111118111.

Wright, governor of Mississippi, broadcast an oration on interracial relations which expre'ssed, with benign hypocrisy the attitude of the Southern. white man toward the Negro. He did not express the hypocrisy of the Northern white man toward the Negro. He did not even mention the sacred name of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, that valiant fighter for civic equality and against discrimination, and ostracism. segregation Never in all his twelve years and a bit in the ;White House did Roosevelt appoint any Negro to any superior political Job in the South, and he did sign his name to a property deed at his real estate., -- promotion-at-War- than-500,000.- all-tim- e - 2..,1 - , al es ' , . ,. BY came for him to run for the presidency this year. Bid for Negro Vote Until he was picked by Roosevelt with the advice and consent of Sidney Hillman in 1944 to be the Democratic candidate for vice president, Mr. Truman's social and political attitude toward Negroes ' was the conventional racial attitude of superiorityriends the border state county politician. Called on to carry the, target for the Democratic party this year, he agreed to the obvious. The Democrats had to outbid the Republicans for the northern Negro vote in the big industrial centers where the Negroes live in ghettos. Otherwise they were doomed. The Republicans, by political tradition the friends of the gro race, are the party of Lincoln, who freed the slaves. and they have had a lopg recordNe-of, friendly relations with the gro politicians. Toward the l'sltheir record has egro people been mediocre. Mr. Truman shot the works. He offered the Negroes all the old political, cliches and wall mottoes of the Republicans knowing that the Deep. South Democrats would rebel to some extent but not caring whether they did nor to what extent. The orphans of this storm are not the'Negroes, who are in a position to consider offers and vote as they choose, but the Deep South White Democrats.. should Ifthe Republican Party win the presidency, the Republican Congress and president, unless the president should be Senator Taft will inflict some dramatic and embarrassing and white laws on the Southern Democratic states. These laws bewould come dead letters by common consent and practice as prohibition was in Chicago and New York, for example. The Jim Crow Problem But just the same heckling would be carried on by the 'Communists and by the personEleanor the al followers Great, to cause riots and casual more bloodshed if not impressive butcheries. If, the Demo- should crats win, 'improbable , thought, they. would diligent- title to the confirm their ly Negro vote lb the north by enacting the Truman proposals. They should be much meaner toward the white South in the enforcement of these laws than the Republicans would be: Governor 'Wright's speech was a text out of books.

They don't evade a dangerous subjectwitli platitudes about God's great scheme and democracy. Will Not Submit They say, and as frankly in print as on the air or on the that they will never let the national government force them into association with the Negroes and will not sub: mit to any political trick which would permit the Negroes to attain, by their numerical strength, the same political power which they now possess themselves. They will fight anothed civil war first. They discuss 'reasons for their attitude toward Negroes which are commonly entertained by the majority of the Northern white people but which the Northern people constantly evade. The Southern Whites are not landlotked primitives; They get around and tkey have intermarried witirborthern families. The ghettos Of Harlem and Washingto14, Detroit, Toledo, Chicago and Philadelphia are not secret camps unknown to the Southern while men. The nasty frictions and provocA- tion on. buses and subways which compel Northern white men to submit to avoid race riots are as well known to the Southern white man as to the New York and Chicago police and to daily papers of the big,. Northern cities which try to Ignore them out of existence. Governor Wright received an enormous fan mail after his Sunday radio speech. Most of it came from Chicago and Pittsburgh where the Negroes are te constantly needled with editorial His fans. didn't like his talk. Nevertheless, barring the platitudes of respect and affection for the good Negro who is a docile man living in hope of better things for future generation of Ne- groes,, Governor Wight's pre- sentation was more honest and respectable than the Truman program and the pretenses of the Republicans. The Republicans had froritt 1865 until 1932 to. break down the northern ghettos but didn't. 'Roosevelt had from 1932 to 1945 but barred all Negroes forever from buying land or living at field-hand- mat. of the Brooklyn baseball team.
