Philanthropist
Offers Substantial
Amount To Agency
By ERNEST E. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Seri-
Gus consideration is being given to
the question of acceptance OF
private funds already offered, for
the continuance of the FEPC should
congress fail to. allow the embattled
war agency a budget, the Associated
Negro Press has learned.
The offers have come from sew
eral sources, it is learned at least
one of which, a substantial amount
being that of a well-known pnilan-
thropist with emphatic New Deal
leanings
The idea is looked upon favorably
in at least one section of high adj
ministration circles which, 1t Is
safe to say, has given some stimula-
ton to the only out which may be
left to FEPC and the fight on dis
elimination.

Suzuki has given no public in

Certainly he has not been con-
sidered of the same stripe as the

Until the makeup of the SUI

too early to conclude that the

There remains the chance, Of

likelihood is that possibilities
were thoroughly canvassed be-
fore he received the imperial

strong that a new phase in ia

Russ0-Jap War Believed Sure
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, April 5-(P)
- Russia's denunciation of her
Neutrality Treaty with Japan is
considered one Of the final steps
preceding Soviet entry into the
Pacific war.
The United States, according
to State Department officials,
was not formally notified Of the
Moscow action in advance. But
in some informal manner the
Russian action was foreshadow-
ed in a general awareness that
denunciation would be founded
on the conclusion that Japan, at
war against Russia's Allies and
on the side of her enemies. no
longer could be considered
neutral
Previously it was understood
that the denunciation would not
take effect until a year after it
was made.
WAR DEEMED CERTAIN
Chairman Thomas (D-Utah)
of the Senate Military Commit
tee told reporter this certain
ly must mean the eventual entry
of Russia into the war with ia

the establishment of American
air bases in Siberia.
