Says LoyoI+y Order
Undermines Fed. FEPC

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-(ANP)-
The executive order establishing an
FEPC in the government service is
being undermined by the executive
order on employee loyalty, UPW
President .Abram Flaxer pointed
out in a letter this week to Pres
ident Truman urging that Executive
Order 1885 be revoked.
President Flaxer called attention
to scores of loyalty" cases which
have arisen in recent weeks affect
ing Negro and white workers, all
of whom have been active in the
fight against discrimination.
The most bitter foes of the Pres
dents civil rights program are today
utilizing the loyalty order and the
whole philosophy of guilt by associ-
alton made popular by this order
not only to curb any activity on
behalf of civil rights in this country,
but to give them a cloak behind
which they can carry on their
bigoted ideas and activities" Pres
ident Flaxer wrote.
