McNutt Calls FEPC
Action strategic"
from PM Friday. January ?
by GORDON H. COLE

Washington. January Paul W
McNutt chairman of the War Man
power Commission WMC) today de-
Tended on grounds of good STRAIT
egg" his action in postponing public
hearings by the Fair Employment
Practice Committee FEPC) into
charges of racial discrimination on
Southern railroads.
McNutt. whose Intervention i n.he
FEPC proceedings has evoked wide
protest from church, labor and lib
eral groups, told his side Of The
story for the first time in an inter
view.
The manpower director pledged
that there would be mo retreat
and no softpedallfng' in the cam
paign to bring wiedr job opportun-
tiles to Negroes.
Expressing his resentment Owe
the sharp pressure that has been
brought to bear on him by Negro
organizations in the last ten days,
McNutt warned that Negroes and
I their supporters have got to rec
ngnize me- as their friend and not
crack me on the head every time
my neck is out"
He ordered the railroad hearings
postponed, he said, solely because
] he believes that direct negotiat-
ions may yild better progress"
Here are McNutt's views:
The FEPC has no strict legal au-
thority to enforce its orders except
for those employers whose war cor
tracts contain non-discrimination
clauses.
| The railroads have no war con
tracts except, possibly. in the sense
that Government officials buy rail
road tickets and those tickets con
stitute a contract.
why get caught out on the end
Of a limb on one Of the doubtful
| cases when there are So many Dos
tive ones?" McNutt argued. The
other firms under FEPC scrutiny
have contracts with no discrimin-
alton clauses
McNutt stated fatty that the Re
PC would decide when it would con-
duct hearings and that his inter
vention in the railroad case is mot
a pattern"
He indicated that the possibility
Of the committee conducting hear
ings in Detroit, Cleveland. or St.
Louis is to Be decided BY the Com
mittee. not himself.
However. McNutt admitted that
with only four members remaining
] on the Committee-the chairman,
Malcolmn MacLean. and two mem
bers. Mark Ethridge and col. David
Sarnoff. having submitted their re-
signations-possibility Of reorgan-
izing the Committee is under con-
sideration.
