House Seeking
Record Vote on
FEPC Today
vHtuol UItimotum
Delivered by Senate
On War Agencies Bill
By the Associated rrsss.

By the Associated Press.
Faced by virtual ultimatum from
the Senate, House leaders today
sought to force q record vote in an
attempt TO break the month-old
deadlock over the Fair Employment
Practice Committee.
They persuaded the House Appro-
priations Committee to schedule q
2:3o pm. session at which they
hoped to jar loose t752, 900 900 war
agencies supply bill being held up
by a senate-voted fund of $3.50, 900
for the FEPC.
Chairman Cannon said he was
prepared to keep the committee In
session as long as necessary to work
out a compromise. His decision to
call the meeting followed unonicial
but emphatic word from the other
side of the Capitol that the Senate
would not reconsider its FEPC
action until the House at least went
on record one way or the other.
Opponents Block Vote.
Parliamentary rnaneuvers by op-
ponents of the agency created to
prevent employment discrimination
because Of race, color or creed have
been able to block a roll call vote
in the House.
The chamber had no opportunity
to consider FEPC when 1t passed
the war agencies bill on June 8
because the Appropriations Com
mittee recommended no funds for
1t. Subsequently committee rec
ommendation that the agency be
given $125, 900 for liquidation was
sidetracked In the Rules Committee
and did not reach the floor. The
rules group also blocked a House
vote on the Senate amendment.
Indications today were that, In
order to get the position of the
House clearly on record, the Appro-
priations Committee would recon-
mend "token" FEPC fund as an
amendment to the bill already con-
sidered by the Senate. FEPC back
ers said this would be acceptable
to them, but they emphasized that
they would not agree to q provision
requiring the agency to liquidate.
Marcantonio Determined.
"We have the votes If we can get a
roll call, and we are prepared to stay
here all summer If necessary" said
Representative Marcantonio, Amer
lean Labor, OF New York.
The big question mark was wheth-
Ter Southerners fighting the FEPC
would agree to any appropriation
that did not call for liquidation.
They, too, said they were ready to
fight it out all summer rather tnan
give FEPC any money for unre-
stricted continuance.
! Should plans of House leaders to
provide the FEPC q fund without
restrictions take shape, the dead
lock that has held up the big bill
and current fiscal year funds Of l6
war agencies would be broken, since
there would be little controversy
left between the Senate and the
House.
The Is agencies have been au-
thorized to incur obligations In an
Iticipation Of funds they expect to
receive. However. the authorize
ton does not permit them to meet
payrolls soon to be due for thou
sands of workers.
