actment of the Fair Employment
Practices bill which will eliminate
the despicable practices in industry
of discrimination on grounds OF
race, religion or color that neces-

however, that there was conflict
between the report of community
acceptance and the registrant'S

local boards should be given the
power to pass upon racial identity
or whether, in doubtful cases, the

"Other authorities"

determined that state directors
should forward registrants to in

WASHINGTON, -. ". -No1NOl-
Having just completed a four
month tour of the South, Mrs.
Belle Douglas, Southern teacher
and newspaper woman, has con-
Guided that the South is on the
verge of "a new economic era"
There is a growing feeling, she
has found, that job discrimination
is one of the most serious drags on
the whole economy of the South
and that the Federal Government
should help to eliminate that drag
through Permanent FEPC Legisla-
ton.
Since Mrs. Douglas left her New
Orleans home four months ago to
make this tour for the National
Council, she has helped to estab-
lish 26 Local Councils for Perma-
nent FEPC in ii Southern States,
most of them on an interracial ba-
sis.
SEES NEW SPIRIT
Following is the text Of Mrs,
Douglas statement on her trip:
In travelling through the South
one finds new spirit among both
Negroes and whites. There is an
increasing willingness on the part
of the white South to recognize
that economic discrimination
against the Negro binders the de-
velopment of the entire region
Having recognized the problem
they are also manifesting willing
ness to work towards a solution
of the problem through study

Nowhere is the change in the at
titude of Negroes in the South
more evident ano more significant
perhaps, than in the Negro church
Where formerly its concern was
wholly other world, today its en-
phasis has shifted toward concern
with building a better life in this
world and realization that eco

REGIONAL SOLUTION

There is also growing aware
ness in the South that all their
problems cannot be solved on a
regional level, but that many OF
them are national in scope, and
must be death with on that level.
A desire for full citizenship is
increasingly evident among the
Negroes in the South, along with
the will to implement that desire

still powerful forces arrayed
against them, and that in some
cases they risk loss of jobs and
even physical violence, they openly
organize and support the move
