A permanent Fair Employment
Practices Committee will be one
Of the important questions before
the 10Th Congress. Such legislation
is . major requirement TO safe
guard the liberties OF the majority
OF white workers. as we'll as those
OF the Negro and other minorities
The existence OF "second-class cit
liens" in our nation is a DRAG on
the wage standards. educational
standards and political-life Of the
whole nation.
Discrimination exists in every
field. but IL it can be broken up
on the job by continued efforts OF
the FEPC, with union cooperation.
and in voting by the abolition OF
the poll tax. the solid foundation
OF full equality will be established.
Therefore. the bill for a perma-
nent FEPC will have the full
backing OF the CLOS political
strength and Of all clear thinking
workers.
This measure was also before
the 18th Congress in l943 and 1914.
II was one Of the many construc-
tive measures. both large and
small. which that Congress chose
to bury and forget. Nevertheless.
the House Labor committee and
the Senate Education and Labor
committee both reported out bills
for permanent FEPC toward the
end OF last year. There is. there
fore, no reason for proIonging
committee consideration in the
new Congress and every reason
for prompt and favorable action.
The legislation for a permanent
FEPC will be introduced this time
with very broad spons ship.
Among those already agreeing TO
sponsor ii are, in the Senate, Wag-

Want Freedom ~
The author states: Under the
denial of freedom which Segre-
cation enforces, there is constant
and increasing friction. An exam
lnation Of incidents where tension
has become acute will indicate that
most Of the tensions are involved
in and aggravated by segregation.
Rioting is less frequent in mixed
residential neighborhoods than
elsewhere. .Segre CATION tends to
make every row between a white
man and a Negro. whatever the
initial cause may have been, a race
quarrel
According 10 Mr.. Alexander:
Left free, human being group
themselves according TO their
tastes. interests and cultural back
grounds. American Negroes are not
seeking an opportunity TO mingle
with whites. They desire freedom
and opportunity TO live as Amer
leans"
Negro Unrest
Hitting popular notions concern
ing Negro unrest, Mr.. Alexander
writes: That there is unrest and
bitterness among our Negro popu-
lltion is fact. This unrest is to
be found not just among Negro
'atellectuals; il exists also in the
alleys OF our Negro ghettos and
among the remote and inarticulate
Negro sharecroppers and common
IlborerS. The trouble is they be-
have like other human beings. In
slbjecting Negroes to American
education we have made them
Americans. So completely Ameri-
can are they vlst they will not

CATION.
Mr.. Alexander points out some
of the hopeful aspects of the cur
rent American scene and notes the
changed attitude in government
toward segregation He pays trib-
ute TO the efforts OF the Clio in
seeking to outlaw segregation and
discrimination.
Hits Bogeys
In summing up his article Mr..
Alexander declares: Most white
Americans are puzzled and alarmed
by the impotence and bitterness
OF large sections Of our Negro pop
ulation. Many Southerners say
that a2itators from the North are
responsible. for stirring up Negroes
n the South In other sections OF
t1e country, Negro resentment ana
unrest are usually charged 10 Com
