.FEPC NO-BIAS
CLAUSE MANDATORY

WASHINGTON - All doubt
as to the meaning of the NO
bias clause in Presidents
FEPC order was wiped out by
President Roosevelt himself in
a letter last week to Attorney
General Biddle, declaring that
the provisions are mandatory
and should be Incorporated in
all government contracts"
Comptroller General Lindsay
Warren had interpreted the
Presidents order as not oblig-
atory; that the word "shall'
iii the non discrimination
clause gave scope for discre-
ton on the part of govern
ment contractors. Much confu-
sion resulted from Warren's
ruling. Roosevelt has made it
clear that discrimination by
war industries for any reason
named in the order" is prohib-
tied.
In the letter to the Attorney
General the President wrote
you have brought to my at
teAtien the Comptroller Gem
erals opinion holding that Ex-
ecutive Order 9346 is directive
only and not mandatory in re-
curing insertion in all govern
ment contracts Of a provision
obligating the contractor not 10
discriminate against any en-
ployee or applicant for en-
ployment on account of race,
creed, color or national origin;
and requiring the contractor to
include similar provisions in all
sub-contracts.
"There is no need for me to
reiterate the fundamental
principles underlying the pro-
mitigation of the Executive Or
der, namely, that the prosecu-
ton of the war demands that
we utilize fully all available
manpower and that the dis
elimination by war industries
against persons named in the
Order is detrimental to the
prosecution Of the war and is
opposed to our national demo-
cratic purposes.
Il realize the hesitancy OF
the Comptroller General 70
withhold payment on govern
ment contracts in which these
provisions have not been in
cluded where there is doubt as
to whether the Order is man
datory. I therefore wish to
make it perfectly clear that
these provisions are mandatory
and should be incorporated in
all government contracts. The
Order should be so construed
by all government contracting
agencies"

CRYING FOR PIONEERS

ITO any soldier who may be listening to the voice

Alaska has scarcely been touched. In Alaska,
there are fertile lands that could support agricul-

The above is a quotation from an article written
by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes part of
an argument to prove that America is not all washed
up" and that the Government has something in mind
for the 85o0OOo soldiers who will be demobilized after
the war.
Congress willing says Ickes, the Government will
spend some three billion dollars in broad reclamation
program as soon as the is opening up arid
acres in the West to returning soldiers who will want
an opportunity to earn peacetme living.
And it is very probable that Mr. Ickes is correct in
assuming that great many people will want to make
their homes in Alaska after the First of all,
however they will want to know what they going

ELK HILLS BOILS

Latest developments IN the Elk
Hills oil controversy are known
only to those who can see the inner
workings of the Cabinet.
ATTORNEY General Biddle was ex-
pected to denounce the Nays con-
tract with Standard Oil OF Cali
fornia as illegal. The reason he
didn't is that two Cabinet colleagues
got next to him and changed his
tune.
Experts in the justice department.
have declared the contract definite
~ illegal, and passed their findings
along to Biddle Biddle, in turn,
was expected to tell the House
Naval Affairs Committee the same
thing. with the result that Con-
press would undoubtedly recon-
mend condemnation. Thus, Stand
ard of California would relinqulsh
all the property to the Government.
But when Biddle appeared before
the committee, he pulled MS
punches. Instead of declaring the
contract illegal, he merely stated
that he had grave doubts" about 1t.
The committee was expecting a
fortnight statement. Even It's
chairman, Congressman Vinson OF
Georgia, who is very close to Navy
officials, privately favors condemn
alton.
Secret of what happened Is this.
Two Cabinet colleagues got hold OF
Biddle's coat-tails. One was Sec
rotary OF the Navy Knox, who was
responsible for the contract in the
first place: the other was Harold
Ickes. whose Petroleum Administra-
ton is headed by a Standard Oil
of California executive.
The fight is not over. Look for
fireworks in public hearings before
the committee next month.

CORSET CRISIS

Here is one headache suffered
by the War Production Board which
they are not puhlicizing: VIII
Americas corsets stretch from now
until next May?
That's the date when the first
syntheic-rubber corsets will be
available. And it may be even
later. Meantime, stocks OF natural
rubber are fast dwindling.
But even when synthetic girdles
do come in, there will be that other
terrible question-will they stand
the wear and tear OF working
women?
This is definitely Washington's
problem. WPB's Order L-90 has
