;Southern Solons Plan 'Death Fight9 On Poll Tax Aholition
'FILIBUSTER
.PLEDGED ON
BIG ISSUE
f WASHINGTON. May 26 —
(UP) — Five Senators from
Southern States said today that
they would filibuster to death
a house-approved bill making it
Unlawful for states to make pay-
®ment of a poll tax prerequisite
for voting.
The major issue over which
Southern senators are incens-
ed is alleged usurpation of
states rights by the federal gov-
ernment. Northern supporters
of the bill charge that Southern-
ers fear franchisement oti neg-
roes and poor whites.
The bill applies only to voting
^tt elections for national offices.
The house passed the nil-
ti-poH lav hill, 2<>5 to 110,
late yesterday after an Am-
erican sailor, perched on a
gallery railing detuitineed
^ the house for "fighting the
Civil War all over" anil
shouted "why should a man
pny a tax to vote when he
can fight without paying a
tax?"
Gen. James O. Eastland, D.,
Miss., said that the southern
delegation to the senate will op-
pose the house bill to the last
man." The same issue perished
tin a senate filibuster last fall.
Sen. Burnet R. Maybank, D.,
S. C., said the question was of
national import and predicted
that all states-rights senators
would stand with the seven poll
'%.ax states of the south in the
coming fight.
In he house, questions of un-
constitutionality were raised.
The supreme court has ' held
that "the right to vite in the
*state comes from the state and
the United States has no voters
in the states of its own crea-
tion."
Sen. W. Lee O'Daniel, D.,
* Tex., who was elected gov-
ernor of Texas in 1938 when
he ran on a platform which
included among other things
abolishing the poll tav, said:
„ "I'm in favor of abolishing
Mho poll tax, but that's a matter
for Texas to determine. We'll
try to teach these folks who
favor this legislation that it
can't be done."

to aid the home front in pre-
paring vitamin-packed foods to
patriotically offset rationing
restrictions, Mr. Holbrook said.
The canning course is open to
the public , he pointed out, and
no fees will be charged. Advan-
ce registration is not required.
Miss Alhertine Berry, home
economies director for Lone
Star Gas Company, will conduct
the school. She will distribute
the gas company's new War-
time Canning Booklet describ-
ing the most modern, efficient
and simple methods of cann-
ing fruits, vegetables and meats.
The book uses recipes that
"hold onto vitamins."
By actual demonstration, Miss
Berry will can fruits and vege-
tables. She will use recipes call-
ing for minimum sugar and
those eliminating sugar and
will demonstrate the pressure
cooker, oven, open kettle, and
water r.ath methods of canning.
"Canning retains vitamins in
meats," Miss Berry said. "A
hou.-tf.'Wife can make the most
from such pro iuct.s by cann-
ing and preserving them as
soon as they are ready; this will
hold their full vitamin content
for future appetites. Canning
and prescrvng assure adequate
food supply in the face of rat-
ioning restrictions."
