FEPC Measure

WASHINGTON - On MP Al -
The House Rules Committee, US
ual bottleneck to liberal legisla-
ton affecting the welfare of Ne
groes and other underprivileged
groups, held hearings Thursday on
proposed legislation for a perma-
nent FEPC. No action was taken.
The usually dignified hearing of
the committee where ONLY Con-
gressmen testify when seeking an
opportunity of opposing the re-
quest for consideration of legisla-
ton of the floor of the House, de-
generated into a farce Thursday.
Three opponents of the FEPC
legislation, Cox D-Ga0, Smith,
(D-Va), and Colmer, D-Miss0,
sought to filibuster the hearing
into inactivity on the question at
the expense of their frequent col
laborationist, Representative Clare
Hoffman, (R-Mich) These three
were outnumbered six to three by
those favoring legislation, or at
least favoring giving the House an
opportunity to consider and vote
on such legislation.
Representative Mary r. Norton,
D-New Jersey chairman of the
House Committee on Labor, made
a request for rule and gave
strong reasons for the necessity OF
such legislation. She was followed
by Hoffman.
Hoffman urged that any such
legislation provides also against
discrimination because of sex and
because of want of COLOR which
was the way he described white
Gentiles.
Representative Cox wanted to
know if there was behind the bill
a desire to break down all racial
distinctions and make America a
complete melting pot" I
Hoffman suddenly found him
self being made the butt of delay
ing schemes when he fell into the
trap suggesting that the bill might
be aimed at bringing about $50
cial equality" He became twisted
UP in an argument with Colmer
about the vote-gettlng potentiali-
ties of such legislation for the Re-
publican Party. Realizing he was
being "useds, Hoffman declared,
81 don't think it is kind of the
gentlemen to emparrass me by re-
ferring to the lack of success OF
my party. I resent it."
When Hoffman was about to
asked if the Michigan Republican
would be brought back to the next
session which might consider FEPC
legislation, Hoffman asked, for
amusement or for information. OF
course I have no objection to- eth
er. But I don't want to cause any
on the floor which lead to the ex-
trouble" 1t was Hoffman's speech

Significant Result

One significant thing has grown
out of the New Boston, Tex, hous-
mo fiasco, resulting from the switch
of 200 units Of war housing from
Negro to white occupancy.
In the past Jo1ln B. Biandford,
Jr.. administrator Of t h National
Housing Agency, has told neWsmen
and various organizations that he
preferred not to be too firm or m
sistent in matters within the Jurls-
diction of the constituent agencies
of the MIA. He has indicated that
these agencies-the Federal Public
Housing Authority, and the Fede-
raj Housing administration have
a uuasi-autonomy despite their be-
ing constituencies Of the MIA.
His is the overall policy agency
which does the programn1ing de-
ter1nine the need fo1 housing and
deviSes ways of supplying such
need.
Having performed these functions
with regard to New Boston and
turned over the construction job,
the tenant selection job and the
management job to h e FPHA,
Blandford came back and exercis-
ed his supervisory position by
changing the predetermined occu-
pancy of the project. FPHA h a d
absolutely nothing to do with the
change-over.
NEW RESPONSIBILITY ERA
It marked new era in the as
sumption of responsibility by the
parent-agency.
1t is unfair to assume that Bland
ford would move into the province
of one of his agencies and refrain
from doing SO with another. 1t is
reasonable to assume, now, that
something can be expected of him
beyond pleading and suggestion in
the case of the Federal Housing
Administration. True. there h S
been some progress made through
his pleading and suggestion but
the fragrant, discriminatory policies
of the FILA need to be conlbatted
with more than pleas and s,Ig-
gestionS. Firm, decisive action Is
called for.
Last November, the NAACP adj
dressed a memorandum to h e
President of the United States com
planning that the current opera
lions of the FILA program cd dis
eliminate against Negro applicants
CD promote racial residential seq
regation; 90 prevent this poten-
tally effective agency from making
n significant contribution to
meeting the basic housing needs of
Negroes; "a run counter to the
present trend of judicial decisions
regarding racial restrictive cove
nants; CD contribute to the use of
racial tensions by restriction of
living space and housing accommo-
dations; Co impair the democratic
process a n d our Good Neighbor
Policy"
The memorandum, as in the case
of most complaints to the White
House, was referred, undoubtedly,
to the Housing officials. Blandford,
of course, could not have been
unaware of the existence of the
FILA manual instructions urging
the use of racial restrictive cove
nants even before seeing the men,
orandum
Here is his chance TO exercise his
overall supervisory capacity
again.

der the central government. That will be one of the principal points to be settled. The other will be the extent of Communist partici- patton in the government. The Communists undoubtedly would have to be satisfied with a de- cided minority in key posts until and if national election, under 8 new constitution, demonstrated their right to stronger representa- tion.
 Significant
 The significance of the Chinese Russian treaty and the prospective Yenan- Chungking conference with regard to the United Nations charter is that both are in accord withthe principles of the charter. The internal political feud in China has a chance of being settled without violence and by demo- cratic means. Russia has gone 8 lot farther toward recognizing Chi- nese sovereignty, notably in Man churia, than had been expected generally. Russia did not, as pre- dicted, demand outright possession of Port Arthur or the Manchurian railways.
 As result, the chance of seri- ous dificulty between China and Great Britain over Hongkong ap- pears to be lessened. While the British claim to Hongkong is much stronger than was Russia's to Port Arthur, the British may be moved to make some concessions short of relinquishing the colony.

g. Point Policy
 OF Mutual Trust
Urged for U. S.-Soviet Peace Against Spheres ofslnfIuenee Seen Breeding Future War"
Future Wors'

Declaring root cause" of in- creasing American distrust of the Soviet Union to be our practice of the Great Power" theory of peace, leading to spheres of influence, thence to clash of the spheres and ultimately to war, William Hard, in the leading article in The Read CTS Digest for September, presents an 8-point policy of mutual U. s. Soviet trust.
 As proof of the urgent need of such 8 policy, MT. Hard cites in detail the frictions already evident between America and the Soviet, steming from events in Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland, Iran, and else where. These growing discords he warns. constitute no advance to- ward the world promised by the San Francisco Charter, but a re- lapse into the old world of "new divisions and spells and thereupon Gas we already see) of new great conscript armies and navies in pre- paration for new impending wars" :"
 The first of the authors propos- ed remedial actions is to invite the Soviet Union to all international conferences in which it could have "even the remotest interest" |. Stop negotiating only with Britain about world oil" he says. While the Dardanelles problem is Information al, bearing the signatures of nine nations to the Montreux Convention of 1886, Mir. Hard states that Rus sia is putting "its own sole pres sure" upon Turkey on that problem and urges "a broad international conference regarding the vital Dar- danelles," with the Soviet Union invited.
 His second point is to appoint for all liberated Europe "a commission of authoritative representatives of the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the United States to organize and execute policy of breaking down all barriers to complete in- formational enlightenment in every European liberated region" The author emphasizes that while we cannot ask the Soviet government to stop controlling it's own press, i've can and should demand that it stop suppressing the freedom of the press in regions it has liberated only with Allied assistance."
 Free elections in all liberated countries is the third point of the program. Recalling that the Yalta conference decided jointly to assist the people of every liberated coun- try to have free elections, the au- thor urges such freedom not only in Soviet-occupied countries but in American n d Britich occupied Italy and in British-occupied Greece.
 Citing indications of Soviet in- terltions to add Manchuria to its

 unemployed.
 As the Connecticut Blue Cross has an enrolled membership of over 5OO,O0O, 1t can readily be seen that a large proportion of the workers. in the state are members of this organization and they will, there- fore, have an opportunity to con- tinue their hospital protection dllr- ing this period of readjlstment, at 8 minimum of cost to them.
 MT. Holt stated that a notice will be sent to each subscribing mem~ Der as they are reported dropped" from any payroll. However, he ad. vises that if such notice is not re. ceived within thirty days of the date last employed, or the member has changed his address since joii,- ing, he should get in touch with one of the offices of the Blue Gross plan. Members may contact the main office at 152 Temple street, in New Haven, or one of the branch offices located in Bridgeport, Dan- bury, Hartford, Norwalk and Water bury.

sphere, 'just as it has added Mon- golia, at China's expense" MT. Hard, in his fourth point, calls upon our government to invite the Soviet Union to sign the treaty adopted at the washington Con- ference of 1922, by which eleven signatory nations are bound to re- spect the territorial integrity of China. At the same time, the author holds, our government should act with the other nations, including China, to give Russia full transit for its trade across Manchuria to warm water ports"
 Tn his fifth point Mir. Hard urges the United States, in all East Asian affairs, to initiate "the two most effective characteristics of the Soviet Union in dealing with Asiatic' peoples: non-racial broadmind- edness and a passion for raising Asiatics to modern level of liv- ing.
 Declaring that an armament race with Russia would be ruinous, the authors sixth proposal is ito ap- proach the Soviet Union immediate ly on the problem of disarmament" With 400,OO0,O00 people within the Soviet's military domain" in the next few decades than the inhabitants of all English-speaking countries combined-and with its Suvorov Military Academies train- ing eight-year- old boys for the of- ficer corps, MT. Hard asks, Does the United States want, does Britain want, to enter this kind of competition? Prospective conscript preparations of the Great Powers, he says, directed not against Ger many and Japan, who will be to- tally disarmed, but only against one another, make phypocritical mockery of the whole San Francis co Charter"
 Provided the problems Of spheres and armaments can be solved, MT. Hard proposes, as his seventh point ito give the Soviet Union what it most sorely needs: American help in repairing the frightful devasta- tions visited upon the Soviet Union by the Germans
 The final point of the authors program is "to make the most we can" of the General Assembly of the new United Nations formed at San Francisco. "Only the General Assembly, of all nations" he urges. "can represent the worlds complete conscience"

 members of the Connecticut Blue Gross hospitalization plan through payroll deduction may continue as subscribers to the plan during peril ods of unemplo ployn1ent, it was all- nounced today by o. H. Holt, act- ing general manager of the Con- necticut Hospital Service, Inc.
 MT. Holt pointed out that the hospital plan in developing its new Blue Gross contract made provision for just such 8 condition as we are now experiencing; that is, the lay ing off of large number of em- ployed persons temporarily during the conversion period. Under the provisions of the new contract, members of the Blue Cross enrolled on the group basis may continue their protection during periods of unemployment provided such unem- ployment is in excess of one month and for period not exceeding six months at One-half the premium rates that they were paying while they were employed. This reduced rate is available only if the unem- ployed person has registered for employment with a U. S. Employ ment Office and has agreed to ac- cept any employment for which he or she is qualified.
 The provision as stated above by MT. Holt is further evidence of the intentions of the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Blue Cross to provide the people of Connecticut with a truly helpful plan of hos- pitalization.

Holds Services In Local Jail

Pittsburgh, Aug. 29-(UP)-Down at the No. 1 Police Station in Pitts burgh, Mrs. Ann Wick is almost legendary.
 Everyone there = inmates and officials alike-knows about Mrs Wick, although many of them have never seen her.
 That's because Mrs. Wick visits the jail at such an early hour. At six a. m. every Sunday for the last B years Mrs. Wick has held short Sunday church services in the cell room.
 The prisoners know Mrs. Wick as friend and comforter. She knows them by their first names, and has heard countless promises of repentance.
 Before she started her religious work. Mrs. Wick was a welfare worker, being in complete charge of women offenders brought into the old Central Police Station. Now she. has been relieved of most of her social work.
 Mrs. Wick seldom meets with . rebuff for her efforts at the police station. The prisoners are usually receptive, she says, although some are indifferent or unkind.
