over the FEPC's precise status
and functions in the VINO. A
shell-game arrangement between
the VINO and the Budget Bureau
held up the FEPC budget for four
months. Chopped to a quarter of
the amount asked for, even this
sum could not be spent in full, for
problems of great intricacy delayed
the assignment and appointment of
new personnel. With the fiscal
year more than half gone, the
FEPC had only thirty-eight staff
members, or less than half the
number authorized by the trun-
Gated budget. McNutt's interven-
ton to stop the railroad hearing
was therefore no surprise to those
who knew about the garroting that
had been quietly going on for
months.
Now that a new device is to sup
plant the Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee as enforcement
agency for 1902, it should be re-
membered that there was nothing
wrong with the FEPC that strong
White House backing could not
have cured. The Birmingham hear
ing dramatically demonstrated
that, even in the South, honest en-
forcement of Executive Order 1902
could actually be popular.

Hello Folks:


Hello Folks:
More and more our local women
and women all over the country are
becoming more war conscious and
doing their part to add to the
cOuntry's war effort. Not only are
many of our girls and women in
war plants, but many are joining
the WAACs and attending Radio
Signal Corps Schools -. IKAL1NE
MOORE, a graduate of st. Gather
ines College and one of our own
Minneapolis girls who has been
working in Chicago, breezed into
the Twin Cities last weekend for
a short visit. You know Ikaline just
recently took her oath with the
WAAC's and is on her way to one
of the training camps now. -. Two
Colorado lassies, RUBY HAWK
ms and DEVONIA WALTON,
have just completed a six-mOnths'
course here in Minneapolis, with
the U. S. Government Radio and
Signal Corps School. Both of these
girls plan to go on for further
training in their field and one of
them plans to join the WAACS at
a future date MISS MAG
NOLIA LATIMER, our former
Head Resident of Phyllis Wheatley
House, is over in England now do
ing a grand job with the Red Cross.
These are just a few of the many
instances of our women doing their
part in this present war crisis. .
ROUND AND ABOUT

The big event of the week was
