Texas, who hail come (o town,
"(or Kood lime," had just
that, and wasn't mad at any-
body when he got humped a-
round, a little, by an automo-
bile, early .Sunday morning in
the 6200 bloek of West Com-
merce.
Traffic wax very heavy in
that particular vicinity, which,
a short while before, had been
the scene of two major ac-
cidents. in which nine persons
had l>ern injured, and traffic
stalled for two miles in each
direction.
Kosas wallied from Miind

automobile drivrn by Cullen Joe

which was going less than 10
miles an hour.
Kosas was Knocked down,

of the CIO, stated that "the failure
of the committee to render a
prompt, favorable report can only
be attributed to the fact that he
is a Negro."
The CIO telegrams reminded the
senators of the fact that Judge
Hastie has served the government
aud the American people since 193,1

interior. Later he served us fed-

rule would have been defeated any-
way uuder the old senate rule which
required a favorable vote of two-
thirds of the senators present aud
voting.
With 88 seuators present last
week, the old rule would hare re-
quired a positive vote from at least
SO. to have approved cloture when
It only hnd 55 votes for It. During
the May 10 vote there were 84
seuators present with only 52 vot-
ing for cloture, this was four short
of the 56, or two-ibirds necessary
under the old rule.
So according to the record, cloture
would have been defeated under
both counts, with or without the
Wherry amendment, and continued
debute would have been in order in
the senate preventing the calling up
of KKI'C bill, to say nothing of the
senate'a chances for voting on It.
In commenting on the defeat of
cloture. Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry(R.
Neb.), author of the much publiciz-
ed Wherry amendment, said the
"cloture petition on the FKPC bill
failed . . . because President Tru-
man and his lieutenants failed to
keep their campaign promises to the
jieople.
"The result of the senate vote
proved again that. Mie split Democrat
purty cannot deliver on Its promises.
"The result again proved that the
Republican party, the party of
Abraham Lincoln, offers the best
hope for equal opportunity legisla-
tion for all, regardless of race or
creed."

By The AMOCialed Negro Hrcsa
DETROIT.—Gov. O. Mennen Williams declined, last Wednes-
day, to grant extradition of Haywood Patters? r to Alabama
to complete the 75 year sentence imposed upon him in 1931.
Patterson, one of nine indicted in the widely-known Scottsboro

He was arrested in Detroit by the FBI last month as a
fugitive from justice, but federal authorities disclaimed inter-
est iii prosecuting him. All others,
In the case have been released.
In refusing extradition, the gov-

released and I can see no justifi-
able reason for returning Patter-
son to prison."
