SOLID FRONT
AGAINST BOOMING
OF FEPC IS PRE-
SCENTED TO MCNUTT


in the firm belief that the over
whelming majority of the Ameri-
can people will support them. The
Federal Government through the
Chief Executive and top officials
of the present administration
must indicate a good faith inter-
est in calculating the purposes of
Executive Order $500.
Although the franchise has
been restricted in the South, the
mass of American people every
where will give their political
support to those who provide
courageous leadership.
I'VE emphasize the necessity
for creating a favorable public at
titude toward the abolition of
discrimination against minorities
in the war effort. To this end, the
Administration, from the Presi-
dent down, must undertake pos
tive and aggressive program of
public persuasion in this field.
Only after the Administration has
launched such an overall program
can the Committee make an effec-
tive contribution"
