PREDICTS PASSAGE

Senator Bankhead CD of Ala
bama predicted that one of two
pending subsidy bans would be
passed next week, but admins
tration forces chung TO hopes that
a compromise could be worked
out 10 save at least some sub
sidy payments.
Bankhead said he was conf
dent that the anti-subsidy bill TO
be approved by the committee
would be the one he introduced.
Both his measure and the one
passed by the House would in
clude the subsidy ban in legiSla-
tion extending the life of the
Commodity Credit Corp. for IS
months.
After the womCn'S organizations
had made their protests, Abort
GoSs, master OF the National
Grange and a strong opponent of
subsidies, appeared as rebuttal
witness. He said the women had
been stampeded by "A scare cam
paign and claimed that the lift
ing of subsidies could not raise a

few cents "A day.

urged by Senator Cotton Ed"
Smith Cd of South Carolina,
dean of the Senate. TO form a
third political party.
Byrd was nominated" by the
colorful Smith whose bitter
Senate speech proposing that the
South band together and form its
own political organization widened
the split between northern and
southern Democrats.
NOT A CANDIDATE
II am not "A candidate, don't
expect TO be a candidate and L

date" said Byrd.
Despite the Virginian's attitude,
however, a southern organization

Senator Joseph + Guffey Cd Of

tinued
Smith said he endorsed Bailey's

Relax Barriers,
Give Jobs to
Negro Women

When representatives of the pres
ident's Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice convinced officials
of large Eastern war plant that
their reason for rejection of Ne
gro women as employees had no
factual basis, the company relaxed
its barriers and has made great
steps toward eliminating labor
shortage, a report filed with the
committee in Washington, D. c., re-
vealed this week.
Will Maslow, FEPC director of
field operations, said that Negro
girls have been hired by the COM
pany and found quite satisfactory
since the company issued strict in
structions to all its supervisory and
personnel staff to eliminate any
considerations of race, religion or
nationality in employment.
The matter was referred to the
committee by the United States
Employment Service after a check
had disclosed that all Negro girls
referred to the company of whom
300 were hired. During the same
period however, 100 Negro girls
referred, all of whom met the same
basic standards, none was hired.
Investigation brought from the
management the explanation that
the jobs required handling of small
mechanisms and that the Negroes
were rejected because they "all had
'sweaty' hands," 1t was found that
the test for "sweaty hands" was
superficial and questionable as tc
its validity.
When these findings were pre-
sented to the management at later
conferences, officials of the com
pany admitted the possibility OF
error in the original belief and
promptly moved to correct any en-
ployment practices which might in
any way violate the principles of
the Executive Orders 1902 and 9436.
AS a result, number Of Negroes
were accepted.
