Truman Lauds
Members
On Fine Work
Continued Fight
For Job Equality
Urged BY Members
BY LOUIS LAUTIER
For the NNPA News Service)

WASHINGTON, D. c., = With
President Truman's acceptance OF
the resignation of the members OF
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee and the submission to
him of their final report, the tenn
porary agency, which had for Its
objective the elimination of race
and religious discrimination in war
industries and government employ
ment, came to an end last Friday.
Based on its five years OF eX-
perience. the committee concluded
its report with the assertion that,
short of federal fair employment
legislation, no device will solve the
problem of such discriminatory
practices.
In accepting the designations, Mr.
Truman wrote Malcolm Ross, the
chairman of the defunct agency,
in part as follows:
1.-The members of your commit
tee performed an important war
service task of great difficulty and
delicacy. They performed it cap
ably, even under continuous bar
rage of criticism and haraSSment.
JOB PARITY POSSIBLE
THE degree Of effectiveness
which the Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee was able to attain
has show once and for all that it
is possible to equalize job opportu-
nifty by governmental action, and
thus eventually to eliminate the
influence of prejudice in the field
of employment.
please convey to the members
of the committee my appreciation
of the devotion they brought to
this wartime task thank them
for their service, and I accept then
designations with great regret"
The exchange of letters between
the President and the committee
occurred on June %.
The committee members in their
letter of resignation stated:
1.-THE Committees wartime ex-
perience shows that in the majority
of cases discriminatory practices
by employers and unions can be
reduced or eliminated by simple
negotiation when the work of tile
negotiator is backed up by firm
and explicit National policy.
JOB BIAS INCREASES
"FEPC's unsolved cases STOW that
Executive authority is not enough
to insure compliance in the face OF
stubborn opposition. Only leglSla-
tive authority will insure compll-
ance in the small number of cases
in which employees or unions or
both refused after negotiation to
abide by the national policy OF non
Studies made by and for the
Committee since vi Day show
that the wartime gains OF Negro,
Mexican american, an d Jewish
workers are being dissipated thru
an unchecked revival of discrimi-
natory practices. The future status
of minority group workers depends,
the Committee believes, on the
course of action to be taken by the
Congress relative to the passage of
Federal fair employment legislation
1.-THE long history of industrial
discrimination against minority
group workers, the war time reSiS-
lance to the granting of equal OPP
portun 'ty, and the current revival
of discrimination all impel the
Committee to request your consid-

Hits Initiation
with Statute"
Sharp Increase In
Living Costs Seen
Almost Immediatel,

The observation-disclosures congress
sional bill to extend the Office OF
Price Administration was killed
Saturday and the nation appeared
headed for a period Of initiation.
The House of representatives
upheld President Truman's veto OF
the measure, in a vote of 142 to
sustain, the vote to override the
Presidents action being 173. A two
thirds majority is necessary to
override a veto.
An attempt was made in the
House to try for temporary bill
extending OPA as it previously
operated, but immediate considera-
ton was blocked by an objection
by Rep. Wolcoat, Republican, OF
Michigan.
STRONG WORDS
President Truman rejected the
OPA extender in strong words
Said his veto message:
"It is a choice between initiation
with statute and initiation with
out one. The bill continues the
Governments responsibility to
stabalize the economy and at the
same time it destroys the Govern
ment'S power to do So.
cit would provide us with no real
safeguards at all. 1t would start
prices and costs climbing and keep
them climbing. 1t would start the
value of dollar falling ind keep
it falling. Far from helping
production it would retard it. In
the end this bill would lead to dis
aster."
The President asked Congress to
take stop-gap action to keep con-
trolls alive, by resolution, at once

Recognition Granted
Romanian Regime by
America and Britain

Carrying out the terms OF the re-
cent agreement Of Big Three For
eign Ministers in Moscow, the State
Department has granted diplomatic
recognition to the Romanian gov
eminent of Premier Petru Groza.
4 This action was taken on the basis
of the facts that the Communist
dominated regime in Bucharest has
been broadened by the inclusion Of
two democratic cabinet members
and its assurances that it will hold
free and unfettered national elec-
tions as soon as possible.
Recognition of Romania was an
nounced last night by the State
Department here and by the Brit
ish Foreign Office in London. The
two have co-ordinated their actions
In past recognitions of other coun-
tries in the Soviet sphere"-that is,
Yugoslavia and Hungary.

which so far has failed to carry out
provisions of the Big Three agree
ment under which America and

included democratic elements and
given assurances of free elections.
| The State Departments recogni-
ton of Romania took the form of
note delivered to the Romanian
Council Of Ministers yesterday by
Burton Y. Berry, United States po-
litical representative in Bucharest.
The note said the United States
"is prepared to recognize the gov
ernment of Romania"
A State Department spokesman
said that Gin our opinion, this con-
stitutes recognition.
The next step, the spokesman said,
would be the appointment of min

 Municipalities throughout the country finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet and are resorting to all sorts of special to meet expenses So far Cincinnati has imposed minimum of these special assessments but is every to believe that the cy-for the first timewill find it necessary to ask the voters to approve extra tax levy in November.
 Local sales taxes important sources of revenue in several cities per sales tax levied by New Orleans in 1944 accounted for 40 per cent of that cys total revenue while a per cent rate for New York in the same year collected nearly $37000000 special sales tax on cigarettes and tobacco is in effect in St. Louis Birmingham and Kansas City Mo. These city taxes on cigarettes in addition to state taxes the same items Substantial amounts also collected in motor vehicle license fees by number of cities Southern cities in particular, have adopted business licenses which is the payment for carrying par tcuar business occupation substitute for higher property taxes Birmingham collects nearly $l 100000 annually from this source while Richmond Louisville, Montgomery, Mobile and Little Rock also collect sub- stantia amounts. The more extensive of licenses by West Coast cities is newer development. In Seattle every firm person in business for himself must obtain yearly license and separate licenses are required for each branch office store New York and San Francisco base their license fees for motion picture theatres on seating capacity. Phila delpha and Toledo have municipal income taxes.
 Councilman Wills D. Gradison, few days ago, called for equitable distribution of state funds He pointed out that the state has huge surplus, whereas most of the cities in the state extremely hard pushed. Rural legislators however, cannot be expected to do much for urban communities. The big cities will have to work out their salvation and it's not going to be easy
