ary, the House Rules Committee
has been procrastinating with the
measure, despite the heavy favor
able vote by which it was reported
out of the House Labor Committee
Southern members of the Rules
Committee have effectively filibus-
tered every attempt to bring the
matter to vote.
A petition to discharge the COM
mittee was filed by Rep. Mary Nor
ton, chairman Of the Labor Com
mittee. Only 118 signatures have
been affixed to the petition, how
ever, whereas 218 are required.
Little hope is seen for successful
insertion of the FEPC request in
the appropriation bill from the
floor. Because the agency is crea-
ture of executive order and has no
Congressional legislative standing,
appropriations for it are subject to
being knocked out by points Of
order. 1t escaped this fate last year

AMENDMENT DOUBT
There is some doubt whether the
Senate can amend the War Agen-

is that to dc So would be originat-
ing appropriation legislation, which
the Senate has no power to do un--
der the Constitution. On the other
hand, it is held that the appropria,
ton has already been originated in
the House = the entire War Agen-
cies bill - and the Senate has a
perfect right. to amend it by in
serting F'EPC's request for funds.
Actually. there is nc constitution
al restriction on any but internal
revenue bills originating in the
Senate.
In the meantime, NNPA has
learned that an unusual Saturday
meeting of the Rules Committee
was called at which time the FEPC
bill was scheduled as part cf the
agenda. AS this is written, the ac-
ton Of the committee has been
postponed until Wednesday. The
reason could not be learned.
