But Republ can Negro blg-wigs--
who weren't there 10 sec Il are
spreading the claim that only seven
Republican Congressman voted
against the FEPC.
II Was the switch of about 20 Re-
publican votes on the second teller
count which changed the result from
u4l-lo3. defeating the TarVer amend
ment by l23-ll9 How could 20 votes
switch over II only seven were cast
This shows how necessary and
desirable is a record vote on these
important issues. and why the effort
was made 20 keep out such d record
vote.
That is why the public must de-
mand a record vote in the Senate I
when FEPCs appropriation comes /
up there in the next few days. Let's !
see WHO voted and HOW!

Seven Democrats: Ludlow OF Indi-
ana. Dawson OF Illinois, Sadowski
of Michigan. Klein of New York,
Rabaut of Michigan. Norton OF New
Jersey, and Celler OF New York.
