WASHINGTON, D. 0.—Tom
" Connally, senator from
Texas, long an opponent of
legislation relative tn Neuroes'
progress in this country, comes
to the fore as the new chair-
man of the foreign relations
committee o' the United States
senate.
The announcement of the
Texan's rise la of importance
to every Negro in the United
States, what with several for-
eign countries, whose good-
will the United States now
seeks, thickly populated with
Negroes, two having Negro
presidents, others having Ne-
groes high in administrative
and official rapacities and ail
of them vitally important to
the protection of the United
States and the western hemi-
sphere.
Coinially facetiously remark-
ed, on this rise to the chair-
manship of the committee,
"Now I guess 111 have to
boy some spats and a swal-
low tailed coat."
He will need more than that
to guide the destinies of the
country through these trouble-
some times, and, us me writer
expressed it, not even hlg years
of experience in the senate
and committee chambers can
give bim the judgment neces-
sary to hold such an important
post.
The old senate rules of
seniority are responsible for
his promotion to this impor-
tant post, and the 64-year-old
Texas countryman for all of
his fire and animosity toward
Negroes, will find this post
more difficult than his usual
quiet senate seat, from which
he has risen time after time
to direct tirades of invective
at his enemies.
ConnaKy will now be called
upon to treat certain Negroes
with the same consideration he
treats white nations abroad,
