"Would Truman issue an FEPC: would he end a hate strike nf Philadelphia stieet car opera tors. on his own responsibility, and would tie open the WAVF.s and Marines to Negro tersonnel in the face of their long standing anti- Negro traditions'’ # • • A PARTIAL answer to these burning questions was given by the mild mannered President when he visited Detroit last September, campaigning (or the former Presi dent and himself.

"1 fee! that it i* a natural thing to have people with widely separated views in the same tarty The Republicans are the same way. The presence of these elements in the party cuts down on the pos sibility of third parties destroying the two major parties ’ In two public addresses made while Fie was in the city, Truman Field forth hiuh hopes for the eco nomic future of the nation Said he.

PETERMAN'S ROACH POOD FEPC— (Continued from Page It of the committee, said that a secret vote of seven Republicans and two Democrat member* of the com mittee. voted five to four against reporting the bill. This is the second time that a bill to prevent discrimination against minority groupa has been killed in a House committee. A similar bill passed the Senate in 1943, but was killed in the Hous«. Not much hope is being held for the bill now in the Senate. 0 0* THE BILL was designed to pro tect minorities from discrimination by management and labor organi zations. and called for the estab lishment of a commission to en force the act. Rep. Post, who is Republican floor leader, said, in commenting on the action of the committee, "We were in sympathy with what the sponsors were trying to accom plish, but this is not the way to do it.’ • • • FEARFUL that the Senate Labor committee i* allowing FEPC tp die in committee, NAACP took steps this week to get the bill out of the committee by appealing to Harry F. Kelly, Governor of Michi gan. and to prominent Negro Re publicans. In a letter to Kelly, Gloster B. Current, representing Michigan NAACP branches, asked whether he was in accord with the Republican platform passed last August which pledged a state FEPC and requested that he speak out in support of passage of the bill now pending. "We are appealing to you in this manner,” said Current, "be eause to date we have had no indication that the Governor of our state is willing 1 to play a part in this great struggle for legislation similar to that passed in New York. The nation Is deep ly grateful to Governor Dewey for the magnificent role he played in urging the passage of the Ives-Quinn bill in New York." Dr. Aaron C. Toodle, Attorney Charles A. Roxbnrough and Attor ney Charles H. Mahoney were ur >ed by the NAACP to use their influence to get the bill out of committee. *-• . . CHARLES ANDERSON, execu t ve secretary of the Metropolitan Council on Fair Employment Prac tices, was in Lansing last week and reported that the Senate committee wa« unable to secure a quorum for a meeting on the bill.
