President Truman recon-
mended 10 Congress leglsla-
ton TO make the Fair En-
ployment Practice Commission
permanent. The Republican
Party in its 1914 platform
was unreservedly committed
to the establishment by Fed
eral legislation Of permanent
FAIR Employment Practice
Commission"
When the 1916 National
War Agencies Appropriation
bill reached the Senate,
Southern Senators filibustered
against funds carried in the
measure for FEPC. Senator
Alben w. Barley, who was
then the Majority leader, Of
fered the amendment reduc-
ing It's appropriation from
S446,200 TO S250,000 This
compromise was accepted on
June 30. l945, by a vote of
~ 10 26.
Senator Wayne Morse, Of
Oregon. and Homer Ferguson
Of Michigan. both Republicans,
voted against the amendment
on the ground that Il was a
compromise with principle
and meant the death knell OF
FEPC. Supporters of the
amendment felt that they had
at least saved the life of
FEPC and put their hopes on
getting a deficiency appropri-
alton or obtaining legislation.
Three years have elapsed
since then. The wartime FEPC
is dead. In the Seventy ninth
Congress. legislation for a
permanent FEPC was held up
in the House Rules Commit
tee. BY a vote Of 80 TO 48
cloture failed OF adoption IN
the Senate on February g.,
1916, and as result, the bill
was never voted on in that
Congress.
In the Eightieth Congress
the House Education and La
Dor Committee has taken no
action on the bill against dis
elimination in employment.
The Ives bill is on the Senate
calendar.
Since President Truman has
said civil rights is one OF the
issues upon which he will
again call upon the Eightieth
Congress 10 act. il would be
we'll for the Republican lead
ership 10 bring up the Ives
bill and let the voters know
exactly where the two par
ties stand upon this basic
issue.

The South, even if il were
s0hdly opposed TO President
Truman, which II isn't, can
not decide national cleo
ton. On the other hand
either President Truman or
Governor Dewey can win
enough electoral votes outside
the South to win the cleo
ton. Republican tickets have
had TO do so repeatedly. and
the Democrats have done so
occasionally.
WILL DIXIEcRATS LAST7
The splinter party. which
has nominated Governor j.
Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina for President. and
Governor Fielding Wright of
Mississippi for vice president,
may not last until November.
II II does, II does not appear
that this ticket will carry
more than two states: South
Carolina and Mississippi. The
other states of the Solid
South viii give their electoral
votes 10 Mr.. Truman.
The candidacy of Henry
Wallace will have some eff
feet on the election results.
Public opinion polls indicate
that he will receive Z per
cent OF the popular vote. His
campaign already has at
tracted number OF promi-
nent colored persons and un-
doubtedly he Will make in
roads on the colored Demo-
cratic votes. To what extent
cannot be foretold at this
early stage
Colored voters find them
selves fortunately situated.
Both President Truman and
Governor Dewey are excel
lent candidates. Mr.. Truman
has proved liberal, honest and
sincere. Governor Dewey has
shown himself to be liberal
and a good administrator. His
honesty is unquestloned.
Both parties are committed
TO a civil rights program. AS
between the party planks on
this issue there is little 10
choose. So far as colored vot-
ers are concerned. therefore.
the choice narrows itself down
10 a question of whether civil
rights can be better imple-
mented under Democratic
or Republican administration.
One OF the important issues
on civil rights concerns itself
with race and religious dis
elimination in employment.

Presidency on April IL, l945,

II is 10 that certain element
of men among the young men
eligible for the draft that this
column is addressed.
They are the kind of men
who make the best soldiers;
the kind of guys who strug-
gled through the Argonne for
est in 1918. the guys who hit
the beaches in the first wave
of Normandy in 1914. the guys
who battled the Japs from
the mud Of Gill Gill TO the
coral reefs of Biak.
They are the men who are
wanted and needed badly by
the Regular Army. the Navy
and the Marine Corps. The
Regular Army wants them so
badly that last week il took
steps TO make sure it gets
some of them--in a hurry.
The Army realizes, from
its knowledge OF handling
millions Of men, that this
element among draft age men
have already checked up on
whether or not they actually
have 10 go and that after
being assured that they do,
they have we're ready--let's
get it over with"
The Army also realizes that
official red tape and political
jockeying Will delay this
group in Joining up If they
wait for Selective Service Act
TO call them. So the Army
high command has decided
TO make II easy for this ele-
ment TO come on in now"
Therefore. instead of Joe
Junior having 10 wait until
he is called by Selective Serv-
ice, the Regular Army an
nounced last Saturday that il
will accept 81 month enlist
ments Immediately from APP
plicants who are 10 years of
age but who have not reached
their 10Th birthday.
This procedure leaves the
way open for the guys who
are eligible for the draft to
arrange their own schedule
Of training rather than wait
ing for their local draft
boards TO call them.
In other words, II gives
guy chance TO walk up 10

ing to join the Army next

Natures Sugar Bowls
Dried fruits are frequently
referred to as natures sugar
bowls" This means that these
fruits contain considerable
amounts of natural sugar.
Such fruits as dates, figs, and
raisins are very adaptable and
can be successfully used in a
variety of holiday objections,
They satisfy the sweet tooth
just as we'll as candy and are
much higher in natritional
value. Dried fruits add valu-
able minerals and some of the
vitamins to our diet,
Dried Fruits Abundant
There's another good reason
for using greater quantities
of dried fruits this holiday
season, and this is their abun-
dance. Raisins in particular
are more plentiful than in any
other year sine before the war.
Prices are down to about half
what they were last year.
Whether you prefer dark rais1
ins or the light variety, known
as golden bleached", you can
use raisins with a lavish hand
this year.
