Surprise Committee
Call 10 Vote on FEPC
Stirs Southern Protest
BY the Associated Press

Southern Senators vigorously
protested against surprise meet
ing of the Senate Labor Commit
tee today to vote on a Fair En-
ployment Practices Act.
Chairman Thomas of Utah
called the committee into session
In move which caught the
Southerners off guard. The bill
was approved by-a Labor subcom-
mittee only yesterday.
Senator Thomas said he hoped
to get committee approval of the
anti-job-discrimination bill with
out public hearings and have it
ready for Senate action in the
next session of Congress. This
would be the first move in bring
ing a part of President Truman's
civil rights program to vote.
Il don't think we need any
more hearings on this plan -
Senator Thomas told a reporter.
IT'D like to get it out of committee
As QulChly dS pOoolUlc.
Russell Calls it Autocracy.
But Senator Russell, Democrat,
Of Georgia. unofficial spokesman
for the Southern group, said
Senator Thomas proposal "smacks
Of the autocracy of Stain"
IT never have heard of bill of
such Importance being rushed
through committee without hear
ings," Senator Russell said.
The bill would direct the Presi-
dent to set up f1ve-man commits
sion whose job would be to pro-
tect workers against discrimina-
ton because of race. color or
religion.
The commission would be au-
thorized to delegate powers to dis
trict, State and local groups. They
would review any sworn charges
of discrimination made by a
worker against an employer or a
labor organization.
Thomas Sees No Action Now.
Senator Thomas said he has no
hope of getting action on the
FEPC measure in this session.
Its not advisable to try it at this
time" he said. There is so much
else to be done"
But Senator Russell. Senator
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana:
Senator Long, Democrat, of
Louisiana. and others were suspi-
cious of the administrations S
plans.
They're rushing it through
now." Senator Russell said, be
cause they want to get a vote at
this session."
The bill was approved by the
subcommittee yesterday at an un-
announced meeting. Senators
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa, and Murray, Democrat, of
Montana, voted for the bill. while
Senator Donnell, Republican, of
Missouri, voted against it on the
grounds no hearings had been
held.
Bill Could Snarl Senate.
If the bill is ever enacted" 4"
Senator Russell said, "it will ruin
private enterprise. It will mean
an employer can't say who will
occupy a position of responsible
ity."
Senator Ellender and Senator
Long both said the Senate will
be thrown into a snarl if the bill
is called up for a vote at this
session. Both hinted the South
ern bloc would start a filibuster
against any such move.
Senator Humphrey said the
subcommittee's vote was proof of
the administrations determina-
ton to enact a civil rights pro-
gram.
THE Senate can no longer
evade facing up to the ISSUE" he
said.

Actually. the voting strength Of

impossible. This country holds
