ON the floor and the neatly kept

the Negro Is, what he wants, what

done. to a nation that knows actual

Local Man Comments
On Judd Attitude

Editor: The Minnesota Council
for a permanent Fair Employment
Practice commission has studied
the proposed amendments of Bali
Morse Smith to the FEPC Bill now
in the Senate. In essence these
amendments CD give the Courts
power to review the findings of the
commission, and (2) limit the COM
mission authority to employers Of
at least 20 persons. We accept the
same. If they will help speedy enact
ment Of the needed legislation.
Congressman Judd's present posi-
ton is gratifying. II we under
stand his recent published reaction
correctly, he is now willing to sup
port FEPC legislation, providing
that the Ball Morse Smith amend
ments are part Of the bill to be
brought before the House.
Our council doesn't want TO quib-
BILE, nor do we want to be obstruc-
tive. 1t is our sincere position that
this legislation is one Of the present
"musts" on the House agenda. Con-
gresham Judd knows, as we do,
that the House won't get a chance
to discuss the legislation unless 2l8
Congressman sign the discharge
petition and thereby bring the bill
from the House Rules committee
where 1t is presently languishing.
Otherwise, we can only hope that
the Senate passes the bill first,
whereupOn it will go to the House
for action without first going to
the Rules committee.
The issue is a simple one. Judd
now says that with the proposed
amendments he favors the FEPC
legislation; it will be simple thing
for him to sign the discharge petit
ton, get the bill out Of the House
Rules committee, propose himself
the desired amendments, and assist
in his able and understanding
fashion to get the House to pass
this legislation.

His motives impuRned, he stuck u

out its plan TO replace war ser
vice employees with veterans
which means that thousands of
government jobs which were sup
posed TO go TO veterans will now
be kept by civilians.
Not only that but Civil Service
has announced now it will postpone
its plans 70 hold open competitive
examinations for thousands of war
service jobs which will be declared
permanent. Veterans were sup
posed to be given a chance at these
Jobs as soon as it was decided the
Jobs would be made permanent and
with veteran preference most of the
jobs would have gone to the boys
but Civil Service says it is forced
70 postpone the exams due to lack
Of funds.
