SENATE KILLS FEPC
MEASURES CHANCES


divided country. America will e
on, but we can not have one coun
try for the south and one for the
rest"
The vote was a complete victory
for southern democratic senators
who began their campaign against
FEPC last Jan. II. 1t was the long
est senate filibuster since 1887
when the southerners talked an
anti-lynching bill to death in 30
days of oratory.
The FEPC bill now returns to the
senate calendar along with many
other bills which can be called up
by simple senate vote. How
ever, it appeared highly unlikely
that the measure would be consid-
cred again at this session. All
bills on the calendar die at the ex-
piration of this session, and must
be reintroduced.
All 1000 seats in the senate gal
lery were filled at voting time, and
about 200 spectators were stand-
ing. Several scores of others mill
ed out in the corridors. 1t was
the first time that the gallery had
been anywhere near full since the
filibuster began.
Pleased
After defeat of the cloture mo-
ton, one of the leading filibuster-
ers, Sen. Tom Stewart, D., Tenn,
expressed the pleasure of the
southerners.
1.-THE legislation should have
never been shouldered on an I'M
willing senate when more serious
problems confront us. Now, if the
administration and its advisers
will allow us. we can turn our
thoughts to legislation of whole
some nature and of importance to
the majority Of the people.
eve should now be able to take
up such pressing problems as vete-
rams housing, improvements in the
CT Bill of Rights, surplus property
disposition which has begged down
SO miserably; the strike situation
and the Rehabilitation program;
small business and control of
atomic energy.
''Let us get On with things that
will benefit everyone!'
Sen. Allen ]. Elender, D., La,
explaining that he loves filibusters
and negroes, too, kept the specta-
tors amused while they awaited
the FEPC execution. Only a few
senators were on the floor to harass
the one-tine Huey Long lieutenant
as he continued the speech he be-
gan Wednesday.
The natty little senator with the
red tie seemed saddened that he
could not stretch his fourday
speech longer in order to break his
record of holding the floor for six
consecutive days. He established
the record in 1888 when he fill
clustered against an anti-lynching
The swashbuckling Dixie sena-
tors won that filibuster, too. Since
1917, the senate has voted to limit
debate only four times. It has re-
jected cloture 10 times.
Today's vote was delayed three
hours because of the marriage of
Gloria Chavez, daughter of Sen.
Dennis Chavez, D., N. M. The nup-
tials were at noon, so Chavez got
the senate to put off the cloture
vote until 4 p. m. SO he could at
tend both events.
Some republican senators had
their suit cases already packed be-
fore the vote. They planned to
leave tonight for their home towns
to make Lincoln Day speeches

Fundamental Church
Convention Closes al
Tabernacle TONIGHT

DR.. Merrill T. Macpherson of Phil
adelphia, will speak at the closing
session at $50 o'clock tonight of
the Eastern Region of Independent
Fundamental Churches of America
at the National Tabernacle, 4640
Piney Branch road NV. DR.. Mac
Pherson will talk on THE Great
Need in Independent Fundamental
Ranks Today"
The final meeting of the tWo-day
convention will also hear the Rev.
Bob Matthews of Wilkes Barre, Pa.
He will discuss the Aims and Pur-
poses of the Independent Funda-
mental Churches of America and
the Voice.
At the opening gathering yester-
day. the Rev. Clarence H. Didden
of Limerick. Pa, listed five points
as essential to the growth of Sun
day school. He said they were
prayer, the Scriptural message true
to the fundamental teachings of the
Bible, a spiritual atmosphere of
warmth, the practical applicat tion
of memorizing Scripture verses and
a gradual growth of the school on
a firm foundation.
Problems facing Fundamental
Churches include material ones of
dissent from modernistic trends and
selection of places to build churches,
the Rev. F. Leon Taggart Of Stam-
ford, Conn, told the meeting He
also said the problem on ministerial
supply must be solved on the basis
of fulltime ministry as the part
time solution cheapens the work and
weakens the effectiveness of the
pastorate
The Rev Andrew Telford of Phil
adelphia declared people today must
incorporate the lessons of love of
God for His children, obedience to
God by studying what His will is
and finally recognition that Gods
blessings come through His love

thorne, N. j., presided at the sessions

|OSS Veteran Hopes to Testify
For MihuiIovich at Trial

| How Gen. Draja Mihailovich, re-
Gently captured Chetnik leader, aid
ed in the evacuation of United
States airmen while American
supplied Partisan forces attacked
his men was told yesterday by for
mer Navy Radioman Arthur Jibilian,
now of the Veterans Administration.
Mr.. Jibilian, one of three Office of
Strategic Service men who para
Ichuted into Gen. Mihailovich's terri
tory in August, 1914. came to The
Star with his story yesterday before
he knew another member OF the
American trio, former 1t. Michael
Rajacich, already had defended the
once-cheered resistance leader, who
is now accused of collaborating with
the Nazis. Mr.. Rajacich's story was
published in yesterdays Star.
"I'd jump at a chance to testify in
Gen. Mihailovich's defense" Mr.
Jibilian said. And it's time that
all those airmen he saved demand
a fair trial for him-even if it has
to be conducted by the United Ma
tions Organization
243 U. S. Airmen Rescued.
The trio dropped into Mihailo-
vich'S territory in Yugoslavla, Mr..
Jibilian said, to eVacuate American
airmen who were being harbored by
the Chetnik general.
I'VE thought there were about 40
men to get out" Mr.. Jibilian said,
but in the five months I was with
the general, 243 rescued airmen
passed through his headquarters and
were flown to safety"
He praised the helpfulness of Gen.
Mihailovich's men who, practically
with their bare hands. built an air.

Allied airmen could be flown to

Once we saw American planes
drop supplies to Titos men as they
were fighting the Chetniks, who
were protecting us and helping to
save our pilots" he said. The only
means Gen. Mihailovich and his
men had of obtaining supplies, how
ever, was to raid German lines, Mr..
Jibilian added.

Mr.. Jibilian, who lives in Kensing-

claimed Americans with Tito didn't
have the freedom Gen. Mihailovich
allowed. The Partisans assigned a
"bodyguard" to keep an eye" on
him when he was in their territory,
Mr.. Jibilian said.
In Mr.. Jibilian's opinion, Gen.

Mihailovich. I'VE heard captured
Partisans say they had been forced

 Dear Mayor
 The C1lo. wishes Co protest the union-oustlng tactics used by the Board os poellc works to prevent City Yards workers from improg- ing their conditions through or eaniHAtion. We have never wit- messed more htsh-hAnded or ruthless method&
 The Board of Public works first forced the City Yards workers out on strike by denying them the right Of collective bArgAlnings and then proceeded to smash the strike hy threatening these work CTS with loss of their jobs if they 0id not return Co work on a cer- tain deadline.
 We do not see how you can es- cape personal responsibility in this situation. Members of the Board o8 Works are your ap- polntees and are accountable to you for their actions. It is fair to assume they were carrying out your policy.
 The treatment accorded the City Yards workers follows similar denial ot the righ of cole eGAAANE S0A H0AAAA+A8 " 0eAACa NAAt empaoye groups. including police men. It is apparent that your ad- ministration has deliberate and planned anti-labor policy.
 The degree of exploitation of policemen ts shameful. Their takehome pay Is 90 low that many of them are forced to have an extra job in order to decently provide for their families.
 The low-wage policy of the Wa terbury administration is impos- Sible to justify in view of the no- toriously high rate of tax assess menf that exists here.
 We wish to express our admira- ton Of the City Yards workers for their attempt to break your ad- ministration's anti-labor policy. We hope they will acquire the strength of organization at a future time to try again and to be successful. If the CI.O. can in any way assist them. 1t will be at their service.
