Senator Bailey Attacks Ickes in Anti-Lynching Debate
Senator Bailey of North Carolina branded Secretary Ickes a renegade Republican during a Senate floor clash over the anti-lynching bill. He cited Ferdinand Lundberg’s America’s 60 Families as inspiration for Ickes attacks on big business and mockingly questioned Ickes private bathrooms in the Interior Department. South Carolina leaders pressed a resolution denouncing the bill as an insult to states’ rights while Republicans warned the filibuster could force a White House decision that might split the Democratic Party.
