A draft of a new bill for a per-

arrangements are now being
made for discussing the proposed

at is hoped that a bill along the
lines worked out by the Councils
legal comnitte may be intro
dueed early in January. Early
hearing and enactment will be
sought TO met a nationwide need
for standards of fair employment.
THE National Council for a
Permanent FEPC, composed OF
responsible members of both ma

three principal religious groups
and other civic organizations, will
shortly present to the Congress
and the American pepole a state
ment setting forth the principles
and methods which have been
shown by experience and careful
study to be necessary for a fair,
reasonable, workable and effec-

I'VE have good reason to hope
that the new Congress will make
good on the FEPC pledges made
by both major political parties,
and do so in the spirit in which
they hae been understood by
