...schools. Day after day the Star printed cartoons, pictures and editorials urging the people to vote "Yes." Locals of the C.I.O. and A.F. of L. bade their members vote the same; so did the real-estate board, the Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce. A lawyer named John. Mc-Evers set up a campaign committee, soon had 9,000 block workers ringing doorbells all over town. Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Marling threw his weight in favor of more money for the public schools...
...club in either league. Comparatively weak in seasoned pitchers, they boast two fine ones on 1949 form: Left-hander Mel Parnell, 27, who won 25 games, and Right-hander Ellis Kinder, 35, who won 23. Back of them are two young lefthanders, Chuck Stobbs, 20, and Speed Artist Maurice Mc-Dermott, 21, who are both marked "promising." On paper the Sox have the best first team in the business, but they are weak "on the bench," i.e., in replacements.

...would have automatically kept the measure off the floor for many more months. It was 8:25 by the time the maneuver-and Dixiecrat hopes of avoiding consideration of FEPC-was beaten by a vote of 179 to 107. Then Pennsylvania's bald, stocky Republican Congressman Samuel K. Mc-Connell attacked from the flank, introduced a substitute FEPC bill which included none of the Administration provisions for enforcement...
