FAIR EMPLOYMENT
PROGRAM DRAFTED
Orders Against Discrinlin-
atOry Hiring Practices
Will Be Enforced
BY FRED MULLEN
United Press star Correspondent

washington, Feb. 6.-(UP)-Ad-
administration leaders are drafting
plans today to give the presidents
committee on fair employment prac-
tices the power to enforce orders
against discriminatory hiring prac-
tices.
Thus far, the committees princi.
pal weapons against racial, religious
or other discrimination has been
publicity.
Authoritative sources said the
committee probably would be made
q full-tiine, paid organization and
provided with sufi1cient personnel.
Established two years ago by Pres
ident Roosevelt to cope with dis
elimination In national defense in
duStry, the committee gradually has
been sinking into q state Of mac
tivity due to lack Of sufdcient power
and personnel. It originally was In
the ONCE Of production manage
ment, was inherited by the war
Production Board and last July was
transferred to the War Manpower
Commission.
War Manpower Commission Chair
man Paul v. McNutt and Attorney
General Francis Biddle were called
to the White House Wednesday to
discuss the situation and upon con-
clusion Of the conference Mr.. Roos-
evelt said that he had asked re-
vision and strengthening OF the
bowers Of the committee.
The situation was brought to q
head by the recent resignation Of

the committees chairman, Malcolm
s. MacLean, who went to the Navy
department. The two industrial
members, President David Sarnof Of
Radio Corporation Of America, and
Mark Ethridge, general manager Of
the Louisville (Ky.) Courier Jour
nal, also have sent their resigna.
tions to McNutt who, thus far, has
not accepted them hoping they will
reconsider when, Reorganization Is
completed.
VINO spokesman insisted that
there was no truth in reports that
aalnoff and Ethridge had resigned
because Of the recent postpone:
lnent Of q hearing on discrimination
by railroads against negroes. They
said Sarnoff's resignation was re-
ceived prior to the pOstponetnent.
When McNutt announced the
postppnernent, he said he was trying
to solve the problem through means
other than a public hearing. He
never disclosed what method was
being employed but other sources
said VINO was negotiating directly
with the railroads and appeared to
be approaching q satisfactory solu-
ton. The postponetnent led to
charges by negro groups and BY ma

Ross spoke OF how prominent a
parfin our lives bells play. Almost
the first thing a baby sees and
hears is little bell, then he soon
has a bell on his toys and soon
the school bell calls him. In winter
he hears the sleigh bells. The
church bells call him during his
lifetime and toll his passing.
In early years, bells were all
made In monasteries until in 1850
st. Cuthbert introduced the bell in
England and soon every town had
one, and they were made in mod
ern factories. The only woman bell
maker in the world is Mrs. A. S. c.
Forbes and she Is responsible for
the marking OF the long Kings
Highway in California. Mrs. Ross
has many bells brought from the
mission churches along this road.
The first bell to be cast in Amer
lea was the Liberty bell, which
was recast from a bell made in
England. Mrs. Ross showed bells
from India, Bali. China, Mexico.
Switzerland as we'll as American
COW bells, and others more familiar.
She closed her remarks with
prayer asking that soon all the
lights throughout the world may
go on and all the bells may peal
out the Christmas message OF
Peace on Earth, Good VIII to
Men,
During this talk several songs
about bells were sung by the audi.
ence, led by Mrs. Arid, accompanied
by Mrs. Irwin Snyder.
