Thought For The Day—
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1951
"Come, follow me, and leave the world to its babblings."
A Bad Start
First portent of things to come was the election o fArizona Senator Ernest MacFarland as majority leader in the Senate. As a replacement for Scott Lucas, former majority leader from Illinois. MacFarland is not a man to bring joy to the hearts of a civil rights proponent.
Two early actions by the new Congress indicate that civil rights legislation is going to be a dead issue for the next two years.
Since he represents the interests of Arizona, MacFarland's chief concern in the Senate has been the Central Arizona Project, a plan to gain additional water for the cultivation of the central Arizona area. Water-hungry California has always opposed such a program and in combating its powerful opposition, MacFarland provided an alignment with Southern Democrats. The Southern Democrats supported the Arizona project; MacFarland sided with the South as an anti-civil rightist.
The arrangement, although ethically unsavory, has been politically advantageous to both parties. The Central Arizona project has progressed farther than any other Arizona water bill ever did, and President Truman's civil rights program of recent years has been successfully blocked. But as long as the present alignment exists, it seems certain that MacFarland won't exert himself trying to push civil legislation through Congress.
So with MacFarland standing guard in the Senate, and the Rules committee on watch in the House, it seems obvious that civil rights is a dead issue as far as any legislative action for the next two years is concerned.—Daily Californian.
The second action happened on the opening day of the new Congress when the Southern Democrat-Republican coalition forced restoration of the House Rules committee's former power to pigeon-hole legislation. Two years ago the committee, dominated by Southern Democrats and Republicans, had this power and utilized it to bottle up administration measures, including those dealing with civil rights. The committee's shameful abuse of its power in killing legislation vital to the welfare of the country resulted in an amendment allowing other committees to bypass the Rules committee in getting legislation to the House floor. The injudicious action of the House Tuesday opens the way for a repetition of past abuses.
The political composition of the committee is still the same as it was two years ago. Southern Democrats and Republicans are in control. And there is certainly no reason to think they have changed their minds about civil rights legislation.
"The trouble with politics is that no matter what you speak out for, you'll find yourself being patted on the back by someone you wouldn't be caught dead with," says Crackerbarrel Hagerty, who has a good eye for politicians, if a bad one for prepositions.
Jane Russell says American women owe a lot to the sweater. Personally, we think the American sweater owes a lot to women like Jane Russell.
