ACTION OF FEPC
SEEN BY MYERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-9P-
Senator Myers D-Pao declared
Saturday the people and the con-
gress are ready to force the hand
of these obstructionists" who are
preventing a senate vote on the
FEPC bill by a filibuster.
He made no direct reference,
however, to the petition which he
and 20 other senators have signed
in an effort to shut off debate on
the measure to set up permanent
commission with broad power to
prevent employment discrimina-
ton on account of race or creed.
It would require a two-thirds vote
for adoption. but is sure to run
into rough parliamentary shedding
when an attempt is made to form
ally file it in the senate.
Southern opponents Of the fair
employment practices committee
(anti-discrimination bill contend
that the seldom-applied cloture,
or debate limiting rule will not
hold against the current question
before the senate. It is not the
FEPC bill at all, but motion to
correct" the journal of the senate
proceedings Of January II.
I'VE are fighting to keep a
promise made by the men who
founded our government, Myers
said in a statement.
"They promised that every man,
no matter what his race, creed or
color, no matter where his par
ents were born, in these United
States an equal chance to earn
his livelihood"

Americans In Control Of
flee Agree Russia Is Not
Obstructionist
Rr IVES GALLAGHER

v
prRTJN Jan. q Up - Can
Russia and the western powers
work together on an international
basis?
For five months. in what
amounts to a political laboratory,
the four powers have been working
toeether in Berlin under the pots
dam agreement.
To find the answer to the ques-
ton upon which the peace Of the
world and the fate of the United
Nations Organization rests, the as
ISOLATED press interviewed every
American representative on the
major directories and committees
working under the allied control
council.
There were 10 on the list, rang
ing from 1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
In. S. Civil Affairs Administrator
in occupied Germany, and anbas-
sador Robert Murphy, American
political adviser, to the trained
technical men working on such
matters as agriculture and rail-
reading.
The list included both civilians
and Army men.
Although the interviews were
conducted independently, the re-
suits fell into a pattern of fairly
general agreement:
/. That each committee started
negotiations in an atmosphere Of
mutual suspicion and formally.
With each country's representa-
tives often determined not to give
an i1ch.s
2. That this atmosphere lasted
for some weeks, and progress was
virtually nil.
8. That this period gave rise to
great many anti-Russian, anti-Bri-
fish and anti everybody stories
that still are current and creating
erroneous impressions.
4. That in the past three months
this atmosphere has given way
slowly to one of mutual conf
dence, and of willingness on the
part of all the delegates to reach
agreements, coupled with increas-
ed ATTITUDES given them by their
governments for their negotiations.
5. That agreement has been
reached on ian overwhelming ma
jority'' Of problems, particularly
on lower committee levels.
6. That there is general feeling
after five months of trial that no
problems exist that cannot be solv-
ed by four-poWer negotiation.
Z. That nobody has had mono
poly on making confessions and
that the Russians have given in as
much as anyone else.
8. That there have been no coah-
tons of the powers, despite early
Russian suspicious that the three
western powers would form a bloc.
On the contrary, it was said, the
Americans and the Russians have
been together on various problems
more often than they have been
apart, although the sides change
frequently.
There are two stalemated ques-
tons upon which no common
ground has been found. The first
OF these is the French veto block
ing the way to GENERALIZATION of the
| German administration. This has
affected virtually all departments
and made negotiations difficult.
The other is the question of the
press and the radio. The soviet

This the the eighth of a series

timistic of future four-power nego-
tiations than those on higher poll

part of the caution on the high
est levels is caused by disappoint-
ment over the French position,
which they feel blocks the entire
situation. They also are uncertain
whether Soviet confidence and the
lessening of suspicion here goes al
the way back to the powerful
politburo in Moscow, which guides
Soviet policy. Only time will tell.
Cen. Clay summed up the feeling
on the progress thus far.
I'VE have reached a situation
where we can get mad and argue
about one point, reach COM
promise and not have it affect our
personal relations or any SUBJ
sequent points we might take up
he said.
The interviews dispelled some
popular runor frequently circu-
lated in the past few months about
British Russian-American rela-
tons. These were some OF the
mments:
Generally speaking the Russian
position has been closer to the
United States on finance matters
than the British or the French"
said Col. D. L. Robinson, deputy
director Of the finance division.
from Chicago Ill. I'VE found we
can obtain information from the
U.S.S.R. simply by asking for it,
despite all these reports that they
would not tell u.s."
Leo Werts, deputy director Of the
manpower division and former
war manpower commission mem
Der in Washington, said: "1t is in.
teresting to note that everyone as
sumed the Russians would not try
to understand our views. It has
worked out, however, that they
have made more attempts to I'M
derstand our views than we have
made to understand theirs in some
cases."
Werts, referring to differences in
administration policies n the va
rious zones, said that when he was
On the manpower board in Wash
ington he found policies were ad-
ministered differently in each Of
the 48 states, and concluded: 1T
is not surprising tht there re
differences in Germany, where we
are dealing with four different
Languages and four different back
grounds"
Brig. Gen. W. H. Draper. Jr.,
director of the economic division,
summed up the general view by
saying: THE very fact that Ger
many could be governed in sit
uation unparalleled in history by a
four-power body bespeks itself for
the future. do not mean to say
this is an ideal machinery and 100
per cent efficient. 1t is not. Agree.
ments are reached slowly and with
difficulty. but they are reached,
and that is what is important"
This slowness in reaching deci-
sions, caused largely by technical
difficulties of translation and the
need to define each word in four
languages, proved the most irritat-
ing factor to American officers
accustomed to doing business
quickly. 1t has given rise to many
anti-Russian- stories. The farther
one gets from Berlin the more
these stories are encountered.

take part in a study of the quail
population during September.
Although such surveys are con-
ducted annually, this years has
attracted unusual attention be-
cause sportsmen are well aware
OF the POOR nesting conditions
quail experienced this summer
and prospects for a good hunting
season depend upon that nesting
season.
Many reports indicating many
adult birds still seem in pairs
without broods of young have
been received at the Commission
office in Jackson, but it is hoped
that the statewide survey will
evidence better average condi-
tions and that our quail popula-
ton will again be approximately
3,500, 900.
Reports of conditions found by
sportsmcn and trainers running
their dogs during the few weeks
preceding hunting season will be
appreciated.

Tells Secrets OF A
Perfect Figure
By BETT CLARK

AP Newsfeature Beauty Editor
If you want a beautiful figure,
reach for the ceiling, girls That's
the advice of movie star Jane
Russell, famous for her curves
On a recent trip east, Jane
demonstrated some of the exer-
cises she says are responsible for
her lovely figure. She also told
how archery, one of her favorite
sports, serves as a continuation
of her figure-building exercises.
In the stretching exercises,
Jane took an easy standing pose
before a mirror and said.
Before starting any of the
exercises, pull the body into po-
sition. Lift the chest out of the
stomach, the shoulders out of the
chest, the neck out of the Shout
ders, and the head out of the
neck. As you shed your slump,
you can almost e yourself drop
pounds"
Jane, in jersey and shorts. then
raised herself on her toes, put her
arms up and stretched as far as
she could.
Next she illustrated an exer-
else which she says will strength
en- the muscles of the upper
arms and shoulders as well as
those muscles above the bust that
help TO keep the bust-line firm.
Here is how you do it:
Clasp your wrists with your
hands, bend arms at elbows and
hold at the length of your
shoulders. Without sliding the

swims, plays tennis, badminton,
rides and skis and doesn't be-
lieve there is any excuse for
a young girl not being interested
in at least one sport.
But if you are not an outdoor
girl, YOU al do these exercises
at home and develop your chest,
shoulders and arms as Jane has
done.
