new YORK FEPC Law
viewed AS SOLUTION TO
RACIAL Discrimination

NEW YORK, June 6 (ANP)-
The passage Of the FEPC law here,
which will be effective on July 1,
was viewed as a solution to racial
discrimination by it's co-author,
Irving M. Ives, majority leader of
the state legislature.
While speaking before a group
at Town Hall meeting that opened
the fourth annual observance of
City-wide Harlem week, conducted
under the auspices of the City-wide
Citizens committee on Harlem, Ives
said:
''The plan adopted, admittedly
not perfect, "offers the greatest
promise Of solving the discrimina-
ton problem"
He praised the steadfast backing
and encouragement Of Gov. Dewey
in giving the temporary commits
sion free reign and supporting all
of it's recommendations. The bill
centered it's efforts on a permanent
commission, he said, "whose first
and chief function would be the
elimination of discrimination, be-
cause it was felt that economic
equality is of foremost Importance

able.
Change in Conditions Denied.

Asked
forNewWkC Budget;
MVA Study Requested

President Roosevelt asked Con-
gress today to appropriate s93.872,-
900 to finance the activities of the
War Manpower Commission for the
next fiscal year. This is an increase
of approximately s24 900 900 over the

The President also asked that S4.-
48O 900 be appropriated for the In
terror Department to prepare plans

Congress also was asked to appro-
pirate $3.50 900 for the Solid Fuels
Administration for the next fiscal
year. The President said an expan-
sion in the agency's staff was
planned, in the field of distribution
and compliance, to handle condf-
tons arising from "a probable short
supply of solid fuels in the next coal
year
$500. 900 Reduction.
The estimated appropriation is
about 100000 below that for the
current fiscal year. but it was ex-
planned that this years funds were
not entirely obligated and heavy
reliance was placed on the coal in
dustry for help.
In forwarding the request foI
Ae for XIyAEr fha NJ
said the increase is due largely to
adding 500 local employment Offices
to the United States Employment
Service These will provide employ
ment facilities for returning vet
Grams. as contemplated by the CT
Bill of Rights. A portion OF the in
crease also is due to provisions for
bringing in foreign workers for areas
Of critical labor shortage.
In submitting the request fol-
funds for Missouri River Valley
work. the President said the esti-
mate is to take care solely of the
work preliminary to actual con-
struction of projects and must be
performed whether construction OF
these projects is accomplished by
a valley authority or other agencies
Won't Interfere With War.
I'm my Judgment, the proposed
work will not interfere with the
conduct of the war;" Mr.. Roosevelt
said.
The President explained the funds
will permit the Interior Department
TO prepare detailed plans and Specifi-
cations for certain of the initial
works authorized by the Flood Con-
troll Act and to continue the investi-
cations for working out the general
plan covered by the act
A number OF such authorities are
contemplated in the principal

ROME. Mar. 20-The highest
military authorities in Italy, who
are always cautious and conserva-

ance of the Germans on three fronts
and warn that costly fighting may
continue in Europe even into au-
tumn
But the CT and the British Tom
my have shifted the wind of victory.
They know this is the last spring
of the battle In Italy. Everywhere,
in canteens. service clubs. messes
and pup tents. men ask one another:
So where do we go from here?
Home? To Japan, to occupy Ger
many and Austria?
They read the cryptic answer in

with mingled hope and uneasiness
The dispatch from Washington
quoted our military leaders there as
saying our people must remember
there still is great war to be won
in the Pacific. Therefore. there will
be relatively few discharged from
the Army, and there will be the
swiftest possible direct transfer from
Germany to the approaches OF
Japan.
Fighting Still Continues.
But there will be some furloughs
and it is generally planned to give
as many troops as possible a few
weeks leave before going to the
Pacific.
Meanwhile, there is still nasty
fighting Gil the 18th Army group
front.
Twenty-six German divisions, a
whale OF a lot of Nazis for any GIs
money, are today being engaged and
tomorrow will be destroyed in Italy
But today this mission. these bat

Nevertheless, there still is great

TO the homefolks about the Italian

the most significance for the post

1t is the story of the Anglo-Amer

The Russians have run their owr
