Negro tobacco workers were inn

reserved for white workers. This
step constituted "a clear denial to

the white local, 219, is ''an undemo-

FEPC Bill Is

In Favor Of
Its Passage

WASHINGTON - (ANP)-The
senate coalition bill to establish a
permanent FEPC headed for floor
debate when the education and la
Dor committee, by a vote of IL to
6, reported the measure over the
objections of five southerners and
one republican, Senator Robert
Taft, last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the discharge petit
ton in the house picked up a few
more signatures and had 103 on
Thursday. Following a visit 20 the
White House Thursday morning,
Rep. Mary Norton cd of New
Jersey, sponsor of No. 1892 told
reporters that she had 'the i'm
preston that President Truman
favors a permanent fair employ
ment practice committee. She
did not enlarge upon her talk with
the President, but exuded conf
dence in what was said.
SEEK COMPROMISE
The show of the week took place
in the senate group where Sena-
tors Pepper, Hill. Fulbright, Ellen
der and tombstone sought to block
the vote by the committee. All
week Pepper. repeatedly had been
seeking some compromise which
would have made the measure
more. acceptable to the south.
When the time came for the
vote. Ellender tired to make the
bill imperative unless the gov
ernor of a state by proclamation or
the state legislature declared that
the bill is acceptable. This was
defeated 10 to 4, but Ellender
promised to offer his amendment
when the bill comes to the floor

though the indignation of Negro
and white soldiers in the European
theatre has been found workable
the adoption of this type OF or
ganization In the Pacific campaign
rests with Gen. Douglas Macarthur
commander in chief of army forces
for the theatre.
Acting Secretary Patterson was
asked last week whether in light OF
the experience in France similar
integration would be effected in the
Pacific theatre. In Europe Negro
doughboys fought side by side with
whites of the First Second, Ninth,
18th. Goth and 104th Infantry diW-
sion of the First army. he was re-
minded.

THAT is a matter under the con-
troll of the theater commander,
Patterson said. "The carrying out Of
similar policy would be up to the
theater commander 1t is not con-
trolled by the war department here
in Washington"
The divisions and army corps
that will fight with the First army.
now on the move from Europe to
the Pacific by way Of the United
States against Japan, will not
necessarily be the same as those
that fought in Germany, the de-
partment said. However, enough
veteran Negro units and veteran
personnel will take the field under
General Courtney H. Hodges to in
sure the same rigorous assault
against the japanese as was made
by the First army against the Ger
mans.
Patterson was also asked whether

He told his questioner that the
same question, in effect, had been
previously asked that the answer Is
still that the report of the inspec-
tor general is being studied and
that mo conclusion has been drawn
and no decision made He said,
