INLY 16 STATES SHOWN AGAINST

LYNCHING BILL

Federal Legislation Favored ‘By Most of Nation, Votes Reveal.

By E. R. R. WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.—All of the tests of antilynching bill sentiment in the Senate in the last six months show clearly that the pros and cons in this ‘much-de-bated subject fall into very definite sectional patterns. In general, these tests have indicated that all geographical areas of the country favor . such Federal legislation, excepting only the 16 states in the South Atlantic and South Central divisions. This same general sectiongl pattern has been apparent on this issue since it was first injected into the Congress during the Reconstruction ,period following the Civil War. TtAvas in the late Sixties that the first antilynching bill made its appearance, sponsored by a Negro Representative from South Carolina.

Became Issue in 1920

The 1920 platform of the Republican Party projected the issue into the national spotlight and in 1921 a Missouri Representative offered a measure proposing to deal with lynching by fining counties, or the agents of counties, in which lynchings occurred. The bill passed the House, but was filibustered to death in the Senate late in 1922 during a special session of Congress. Two lynching bills had been offered in the House in January, 1937. One was the Gavagan bill, the other the Mitchell bill. The Gavagan bill, much the more drastic of the two, was forced to a vote via the discharge-petition route

" and passed the House last April 12

(277 to 120). In the Senate the somewhat milder Wagner-VanNuys Antilynching Bill was substituted for the Gavagan bill, but two efforts last summer to force action resulted in votes to table. On Aug. 11, only a few days prior to adjournment of fhe regular session, an agreement was reached to make the Wagner-VanNuys bill the regular order of Senate business after the enactment, whenever offered, of the Administration’s then-promised farm measure. L This farm bill was one of the five measures asked by the President of the special session in November and December, The farm | bill was passed December 17, but | the lynching bill, by | unanimous | consent, was again laid aside until Jan. 8 to permit action on the. housing bill. |

Debated 46 Days

With only two interruptions for action upon privileged legislation, debate on the antilynching measure has been continuous since Jan. 6. Two efforts were made to break the Southern filibuster by invoking cloture, but both failed. Each cloture vote (on Jan. 29 and Feb. 16) was made possible by a petition needing 16 signatures. | Indiana signers of the second petition included both Senators Minton and VanNuys, who also had signed the first petition. The first cloture the brought 37 yeas and 51 nays; the second 42 yeas and 46 nays. A two-thirds majority was need to close debate, so neither attempt game anywhere near success. On the second vote cloture advocates gained five new recruits and held all those who had voted for cloture in the first instance. Senators VanNuys and Minton voted to invoke cloture both times. The 42 votes for cloture represented 69,313,724 constituents, a majority of the total population; the 46 “nay” votes represented only 48,132,089, each figure being reached by assigning to each Senator a constituency equal to one-half the population of his state. The antilynching bill finally was defeated when the Senate voted, 58 to 22, to shelve the measure to make way for the 250-million-dol-lar deficiency relief - bill. Senators VanNuys and Wagner

Prosper While Other Loses Sleekness.

By LEO DAUGHERTY

Miss Evelyn Kluge, graduate die- ' titian, is playing nurse to a pair of

white rats for the sake of an experiment and the milk producers. And she’s pretty confident that the 14-week test will prove that she’s as right as two white rats in her contention that milk will put weight on little boys and girls and make them nice and healthy. “Happy” and “Dopey” are four weeks old, both males, members of the same litter, bought at 15 cents each in the rat market and in every way are starting on equal footing in their cages at the Independent Milk Producers Association at 8 Massachusetts Ave.

Like to Be Petted

“For seven weeks,” said Miss Kluge, of the Indianapolis Dairy Council, “each will be on a strict diet of a mixture of cornmeal and salt, but ‘Happy’ will get milk and ‘Dopey’ will have flavored carbonated water to drink.”

“What, no spinach?” Miss Kluge wasn’t” joking about the business. “They like to be petted,” she said

and picked up “Happy” because he

seemed a little scared. “He weighs only 60 grams,” she said. “That’s about two ounces, but at four weeks his development is about the same as that of a 3-year-old child. Why, these fellows will be mature adults in about 10 weeks.” “Dopey” took a sip out of his dish and started running around in circles. “Look,” said Miss Kluge, “he acts like he’s dopey.” But “Happy” reared and stood up on his hind legs, looking out of his cage like he wanted a little attention. But, anyhow, Miss Kluge explained that if her contention is true, the health chart of the rat drinking milk at the end of seven weeks will show that he’s gained about 100 grams and “will have smooth, sleek, white hair and will be real friendly.” “Dopey—Well, maybe he’ll gain 10 grams, but he’ll likely lose it again and his hair will be rough and brownish.” At the end of seven weeks the rats will exchange cages .or drinking cups. Doesn’t matter which. One’s as easy as the other. “And then,” Miss Kluge said, “ ‘Happy’, his milk taken away from him for seven weeks, and another drink substituted, will become a miserable old rat and ‘Dopey’ will be the fine specimen ‘Happy’ is at the end of the first seven weeks.”

FORGER IS PAROLED, . 6 PETITIONS DENIED

The State Clemency Commission today granted one parole, commuted one sentence, denied six petitions for leniency and delayed action on another. Prisoners involved were Indiana Reformatory inmates. Olyn Campbell, sentenced in Putriam Circuit Court Feb. 12, 1937, to a two-to-14-year term for forgery, was granted a parole on condition that he make reports for three years. The 10-year term for robbery given Lester Rice in Grant County Superior Court on March 11, 1932, was commuted to an indeterminate period of 6 to 10 years, with the further understanding that he serve at least six years.

(D. N. Y.), authors of the antilynching measure, both voted for laying aside the bill, but Senator Minton voted to continue the debate,

~ SCORES CROWD HOOK’S DRUG STORES TO GET

FAMOUS

Demand for Celebrated Re- \ tonga Proves as Great Here " as in Other Cities. Mrs. Rinker Tells Her Experi-

ence. Feels Years Younger.

Hundreds of Indianapolis men and women are visiting Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores to obtain the famous health-building medicine Retonga, and the special Retonga re tative at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, southeast corner Illinois’ and Washington streets, is meeting and explaining the celebrated roots, herbs, and barks medjeine to scores of people every day. The demand for Retonga in Indianapolis has proved as great as it is everywhere else the sensational new medicine has been made available to the public. Proof of Retonga’s remarkable health-promoting power continues to pile up as scores of well-known men and women voluntarily come forward to tell for the benefit of others how the celebrated medicine has freed them of stubborn troubles

and restored them to happy health

—troubles such as stomach, liver, and kidney disturbances, lack of strength, the. tortures of nervous indigestion, and similar distressing symptoms of a weak, rundown state. Take, for instance, Mrs. Bertha Rinker, well-known and highly respected resident of 2014, E. Hines St., Muncie, who -has mahy friends in Indianapolis: “Retonga did a lot. more for ae than I expected,” sta Mrs - er. “I began taking the medicine because I saw where it was good for night risings. Retonga not only | ¥d ‘ame of that trouble Almost m-

MRS. BERTHA RINKER,

mediately, but corrected my sour, gassy stomach which was making me nervous and disturbing my rest at night. I was' fifteen pounds under weight, and I am gaining that back. I could feel the good effects of Retonga through my whole body, and .I feel years younger than I did, I suppose because I now get such sound, restful sleep, and am so much stronger. It is a pleasure to tell other people about such a remarkable medicine. I never saw anything equal it.” When well-known men and women throughbut Indiana are testifying to Retonga’s wonderfiil benefits every day in the public press, there can be no doubt about the medicine’s extraordinary up-building power. The special Retonga repre-

sentative is now at Hook’s Depend- |

BACK FEES ASKED IN $20,000 SUIT

Ohio Finance Corp. Sued for Alleged Licensing Tax Due State.

Suit for recovery of $20,000 allegedly due the State in license fees by the Ohio Finance Corp. had been filed today in Federal Court by Lee Rickman, a taxpayer, on behalf of the State.

The suit was transferred from Superior Court since the finance company was incorporated in Ohio and is operating in Indiana under an act permitting foreign corporations to do business: upon payment of license fees and submission of yearly reports. The complaint charges the corporation failed to make reports and did not pay the 50 cents per $100 gross business fee. Oscar Hagemier, Mr. Rickman’s attorney, asks in addition to the sum claimed due the State, $7500 in attorney fees.
