has aligned himself with the lib
erals.
Setting forth 21-point program,
the President gave prominent place
to the FEPC. 1t marked the first
time since the agency was created
that mention of it has been included
in a message from the President
to the Congress. Its inclusion puts
it in the category of "must" legis-
lation.
Concerning the FEPC, the
President declared: During
the years of war production we
made substantial progress in
overcoming many of the pref
udices which resulted in dis
ordinations against minority
groups.
''Many of the injustices
based upon considerations of
race, religion, and color were
removed. Many were prevent
ed. Perfection was not reached,
of course, but substantial prog
ress was made.
'1n the reconversiOn period
and thereafter, we should make
every effort to continue this
American ideal. 1t is one of the
fundamentals of our political
philosophy, and it should be an
integral part of our economy.
'The Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee is continuing
during the transition period. l
have already requested that
legislation be enacted placing
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee on a permanent
basis. / repeat that recOmmen-
datiOn."
The Presidents statement that
the FEPC "is continuing during
the transition period" is the first
official indication of his intention
not to permit the agency to die
as result of the end of the fighting
phase of the war.

Negro Workers
Support Nisei
In Job Fight

San Francisco, Calf. - Negro
workers in the Municipal Railway
System here stood squarely behind
a Japanese-American machinist
who filled civil service requirements
and was assigned to repair work on
buses. White machinists at first
threatened to quit work, but later
voted to stay on the job.
Negro workers, who have been
employed in large numbers on
buses, trolleys and cable cars here
during the war years, promptly mo-
bilized in support of the Nisei's
right to work. They were assisted
by Noah W. Griffin, in charge of
the West Coast Regional office Of
the NAACP here, and by Joseph
James, president of the San Fran
cisco branch NAACP. Also active
were the Mayors Council for Civic
Unity and the Japanese American
Citizens League.
The machinist, Taxed Miyama, is
an American born japanese who re-
turned to the Coast from one of
the relocation centers. The final ex-
cuse of the white machinists was
that they wanted the jobs held for
"San Francisco veterans regardless
of race, color, or creed, including
REPRESENTATIONS"

ers was that if movement to deny
employment to minority groups
goes unchallenged, it will not be
many weeks before the right of
Negroes to employment on the Mu-
nicipal Railway system will also
be challenged.

The flash carried a Washing
