F.E.P.C. Counted Out in
Last Round Before House
Committee by Mo. Democrat
Especial to Spokesman and Recorder

Especial 10 SPOKESMAN ana hecOTOeT
Papers)
Washington, D. c., June 12-(By
wire)-The FEPC went down under
a count of six to six today when
the Rules committee quote Slaught-
cred unquote it in two rounds.
Round by Round Report
The first round, at 1890 this
morning left FEPC groggy from
foul punches below the belt de-
livered by a Republican-Southern
Democrat coalition.
Eleven members were present. A
commitment to vote at 1890 had
been made. But Representative
Roger Slaughter Cd. of Missouri)
was delayed by a grounded plane
and was not in his corner.
Chairman Adolph SABBATH Cd. of
Illinois), the referee, called on the
gladiators to come out and fight
get to the voting. He pointed out
that Slaughter knew of their in
tentions and should have arranged
to be present.
But two Republicans, reported
to have been Clarence ]. Brown of
Ohio and Leo E. Allen of Illinois,
supported the Southern Democrats
who insisted on delay and post
ponement until 1:15 this afternoon
in order to give Slaughter a chance
to arrive.
Slaughter came to the afternoon
meeting-round two-accompanied
by his second" Colmer of Mis-
sissippi. They were in high spirits.
1t was the tip off as to the style
of fighting Slaughter would use.
SABBATH Will Give Battle
Expressing genuine disgust after
the bout, SABBATH said there was no
white hope" in view who might
win a favorable rule for FEPC
under present conditions. The only
avenues open now, he stated, are by
discharge petition or a two-thirds
vote to suspend the rules. He told
reporters that he will shortly go
on the floor of the House and make
an appeal for members to sign Dis
charge Petition No. a (which now
has 1913 signatures of a required
218). He said he will sign the
petition himself despite the fact
he is chairman of the Rules COM
mittee-an unusual precedent.
G. o. P. Makes Claim
The Republican members of the
Rules committee and other Re-
publican congressman already are
pointing to the fact their party
voted 100 per cent for the rule,
and they are claiming "the cham
pionship on a foul"
Republicans
1t is little less than subterfuge
and chicanery that they should seek
to make such political capital out
of this very serious and needed
legislation, ringside observers here
are saying. On no less than five
occasions, the Republicans had the
opportunity of landing a Knockout
blow by insisting on a vote and
getting a favorable rule for FEPC.
Enough of them, however, lined up
with the Southern Democrats in
holding back their Sunday punch"
and forcing postponements and adj
journments until a six-six tie vote
was certain.
However, it was Slaughter the
Democrat from Kansas City, de-
sertion of Truman, which killed the
hill in tho P11aS cononoittoo

it is possible that the President,
having stuck his neck out on this
issue, may throw his weight around
a bit against Slaughter from his

measure may make the difference
between a pat on the back or a

By the time this is printed, the
committee may have taken some
positive action-at least we hope
so.

Credit For Britain

When Britain first approached the United
States for a gift up to five billion dollar.
there were many differences between the Brit
ish and American viewpoints. Since then they
have been reduced to three. These are:
What extent of credit shall be granted Great
Britain, since the idea of gift has been
abandoned What shall be done about an es-
cape clause to relieve Britain of repaying the
principal or stopping interest payments if the
trade balance is adverse in any year. What
shall be done about breaking down Britain S
stirling area restrictions.
Of the first, it may be said that while
States views three and one-half or four bill
lions would stand better chance of receiving
Congressional approval. 1t is the view of some
American negotiators that Britain should not
be given dollar more in credit than its
actual need. British negotiators want a
cushion of reserve credit to meet any enaer-
gency. They contend that unless enough credit
industrial and trading hole, little would be
gained by temporary help.
OF the second point, it is learned that Brit
ain is to have a period of five years of
grace in which it can use it's line Of credit
before interest or principal payments would
start After the five-year period, it is under
stood the plan as it stands in it's incomplete
and unaccepted form. Britain would have fifty
years in which to repay the United States,
with interest at per cent.
Concerning point three it is said that while
Britain has agreed to modify its imperial
preferences that work to protect and confine
the Empires trade to Empire limits a fornau-
la has not yet been worked out by which
the wartime-created sterling area that grew
out Of the pre-war sterling bloc will be dis
solved
How the negotiations will progress is not
easily foreseen, but in the interest of more
normal relations it is to be hoped that what
ever compromise is necessary on both sides
to reach agreement will quickly be made.

The japanese killed Gushing in
an ambush in the Cagayan Valley
in September, 1912. He was buried
in purposely unmarked grave
but his exploits became legendary
in the unceasing warfare waged
by the guerrillas. In fact, because
two brothers of Major Gushing
continued actively aiding the guer-
rillas, many Filipinos refused to
believe reports of his death.
Another famed amateur fighter,
Col. George Barnett, led the regi-
ment through two years Of cat

survived constant pursuit and was

YOUR G. /. RIGHTS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. is - Here
are some questions from relatives
of men still overseas:
@. My husband is with 432d Port
Co. ninth Army. stationed at Yo-
kohama. He has been in the Army
four and a half years, has SO
points. Do you think he'll be home
by Christmas?
A. This outfit is in Tokyo on
occupational duty. Your husband S
chances for return by Christmas
are pretty slim, as very many
high point men await return from
the Pacific.
@. My husband has been alerted
to come back from overseas since
Oct. 2. He has 80 points, has been
transferred to 488th Ordnance
Company. Will he be home by
Christmas?
A. 488th Ordnance Co. is SEIZED
uied for return, but we don't have
return date. "Alerted'' for return
is Army's POM order, which
means preparation for overseas
movement
@. My brother was connected
with 778th Tank Bn. (Third Army :.
but wrote he had been transferred
to 735th Division and was to sail
either September II or October 8.
He had left Aigen, Austria, and
was to go to Camp New York,
from where he was to sail home,
but we have heard nothing further
from him.
A. Army says there is no 735th
Division, so it's impossible to get
return date. However. Camp New
York is in the staging" area near
Rheims, and when a CT is sent
there it means he's bound for
home.
@. Does Army allow five points
or Presidential Citation?
A. No.
.. Car. you tell me when the
93rd General Hospital is due to
arrive in the States?
A. This unit is at Shugborough
Park, England; return date not
set.
