INTERVIEW
9th and Charles:
CUES: Mr.. Whachaname, do you be.
lieve that the FEPC legislation is
w~orkable?"
Ans: Eyes, if properly handled.
Dues; BY properly handled, you
mean. ~"
Ans: well legislation Of this sort
can't be handled. say like traffic
laws, for example, because it is deal
ing with another side Of human nat
ure".
CUES: "Just how in your opinion,
could it be worked, to be successful
with the other side of human nature?"
Ans: "The average human being, not
including Bilbo and his likes, has no
Unborn desire to be unjust toward his

affected by customs, traditions and
precedents. The FEPC offers an ave-
nue. to bypass the custom of race and
color restrictions in employment, that
are practiced more because of prece-
dent than genuine hate or prejudice.
In addition there is the big education
al task o eliminating the feeling of
mutual uneasiness and unfounded dis
trust which grows out Of not knowing
and therefore not approaching the
good merits Of the other fellow.
All says: THAT is one mans opinion.

capital. 1t takes more than a hundred
thousand dollars to make a poor or
binary everyday man Of leisure. =. so
to be PRACTICAL. We can well
afford to encourage the investment and
circulation of capital within our COM
munity ....
