...While Bolling & Co. sat silent and shocked, Jimmy Roosevelt arose on the House floor and blurted the red word that Bolling had hoped to spring at the very last minute. Jimmy had found a "silver lining" in the Landrum-Griffin bill. And he told the Southerners just where to find the actual civil-rights sleeper, hidden in Section 609. The Southerners panicked just as Dick Bolling had predicted, but it was still 24 hours before the final vote-and it proved to be ample time to work out an amendment to get the civil-rights sleeper out of the bill...

It was a blind man who helped them to see the proof they needed...
