To Be Signed
By Governor

Hartford, Conn. May CNNPA) -
The House of Representatives of the
Connecticut Legislature last Tues
day approved by a vote of 121 to
10 a state fair employment prac-
tice bill.
The measure has already pas
sed the Senate, and Governor ia
mes L. McConoaughty is virtually
certain to approve it.
The measure bans race or reli-
gious discrimination in employ
ment. Under it's provisions, the
State Interracial Commission, Gre
ated several years ago, would be
authorized to issue cease and de-
ist'' orders against any employer
employment agency, or labor un-
ion guilty of such discrimination.
assage of the bill in the House
followed several hours of bitter
debate during which some manu-
facturers and representatives Of
employer organizations brought
pressure to defeat the measure.
The Democratic minority voted

could have been.'

added. 81 am saying it in full re-
cognition of the fact that this is

refuese to make all diligent efforts
to prevent the lynching. Upon con-
viction, he would be subject to a
fine of not more than $4,000 or

directed to order investigation of
any mob or violence that might
occur and would also be authorized

a lynching would be liable to each
individual injured by a mob or
to his next of kin, If the victim
Is put to death, in a sum Of from
$4,000 to $4,000, unless it can be
proved that its peace officers used
all diligence and power they had
to prevent the lynching.
Suits would be authored to be
brought in the United States dis
trict court for the judicial district
of which the county, in which the
lynnhng occurred, is a part. The
action would be brought and prose-
cuted by the Attorney General in
the name of the United States.
The bill also would make punish
able under the kidnapping statute
the transportation in interstate or
foreign commerce of any person alb
punishment, correction or intimida-
ton.

l E n Moves
To Avoid $500 Jim
Crow Verdict

Louisville, KY, May (NNPA)-
The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company is seeking to have
set aside the verdict awarding
James e. Stamps Of Chicago and
Ennis L. Powell of Charleston,
West Virginia, damages of $500
against the railroad for it's refusal
to serve them in dining car.
Attorneys Sidney A. Jones, Jr.,
Of Chicago, and Chatles w. Ander-
son of Louisville have been servic-
ed by the railroad with notice of
a motion for a new trial.
AS one Of the grounds for new
trial the railroad urges that the
verdict of the jury was grossly ex-
cessive and was rendered solely
as result of the passion and pre-
JUDGE of the jury against the rail-
road.
In support Of its motion, the
railroad filed an affidavit made
by one of the jurors in which he
states that another juror exerted
undue influence n insisting that
the Jim Grow practices of the rail-
road should be ended.
Charles c. Walz, the juror, states
in his affidavit that when the jury
git to the jury room, Chester A.
Pennington, another juror, said in
substance to him that he, Mr..
Pennington, could not serve as
foreman of the jury because he was
employed by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad and that he recog-
MED a representative of the Louis
vile and Nashville in the court
room audience.

Committee Told
Every American
Must Have Rights.
BY Louis Lautier

Washington, D. c., May (NNPA)
The Presidents Committe on
Civil Rights was told last Tuurs-
day that it should make definite
finding that every American and
every person in America, including
foreign born and those not natural
ized,' should have every civil
right which this country affords.
Charles H. Houston, nationally
prominent lawyer, the maker of
this statements, said anything short
of that standard would be q be-
trayal of this country's interna-
tional commitments.
The inconsistency between the
position of the United States in
domestic and international affairs,
said Mr.. Houston, "can only be
Strengthened out by first straight

If the committee makes it pos
sible for the people to help them
selves, he said, Il think that the
greatest contribution in the way
of setting up standards that this
committee can render.
Asserting that he next war with
a country committed to civil rights
Mr.. Houston said that in such an
emergency the President should
declare that every citizen shall be
guaranteed every civil right.
Questiined as to where such a
government can be found, Mr..
Houston named Russia. He said
that country gives all people "all
the civil rights it gives it's people
without discrimination as to race,

justice. He mentioned no specific
instances of maladministration
Mr.. Royal said investigation dis
closed that lin general, military
justice has been we'll administered,
However, the system is not per-
feet and certain corrective meas
ures we're indicated as necessary,
he said in aletter to top command
erS
The Secretary noted that Con-
gress is being asked to amend some
articles of war, but declared that
meanwhile, existing military laws
should be better administered.
"In an appreciable number of
cases the investigation of charges
has been inadequately conducted
he said. by having inexperienced
officers do the investigating.
Full opportunity to develop the
defense has not been extended to
the accused in all cases." he con-
tinued:
Mr.. Royal ordered that trained
and matured officers, wherever
practicable of the rank of major or
above, should be used.
investigating officers must
understand that their investiga-
tions must not only be thorough
but impartial" he said.
Defense counsel detailed for
general courts martial have not
adequately performed their duties
in all cases"
The Secretary reported that ju-
nior and inexperienced officers have
been assigned to serious cases such
as murder, rape and assault.
