With the FEPC bill facing crucial test in the Senate
this or next week for consideration by opposition OF Dixie
crat and thick-skued Senators who threaten fibusr
our great Congressman George A. Dondero, Republican
18th Michigan District allows his head to be clouded with
political aspirations to the extent that ne denouncs The
FEPC bill.
The Congressman issues mmeographed news release
weekly about current happenings in Congress, entitled
ION Capitol HILL
These press releases in the interpretatve
and seldom vary from the slanted-lne of political de-
nouncement of the Democratic Party Despite them be-
ing controversial and onesided, they usually inform
alive and relaxing.
Under heading. Socialism or Freedom" Dondero ar.
CUES convincingly against the proposed New Dealers
form for the welfare State Program which he labels
free enterprise that football Of political
err groups and excessive taxation which would the
taxpayers on an universal dole paid by Socialist bureau
Gratis with the peoples money.
The lines that drew my ire support of his argu-
men that the Welfare State program was being pushed
with cynical elaboration
Here's what the good Congressman wrote:
"A few months ago, in public speech before large
audience President Truman casgated nationally known
columnst The President said that no S 0. B. going
tell him who he was going to hire and fire spoke
after the coumn had suggested that Major General
Harry H Vaughn should be removed as President a Mill
tary Aide because of his admitted dealings with t
centers
The President declared before all the world his
vicon that nobody has right prevent him from hr.
ing and firing his employees as he sees fit Yet
President Truman advances one of the major
ais his legislative program the Fair Employment Prac-
tees Commission bill which would do just exactly that
thing every employer in the United States
don't care in what vein the Congressman may have
meant this statement il definitely shows that he either
duwitted too intent political power to tina, he
is seeking further Cypress the minority Of America
The Fair Employment Practice bill is solely hai--o
give equal opportunity to those qualified workers 70 gain
employment without regard to his religor
creed Just how does this proposal tie in with the pets
that hired through Mr. Truman's influence
Congressman Dondero has done incacuable dam
the bill by citing this grossly unrelated incident
example of what would happen if the FEPC bill
passed not denouncing political party for both
have representatives that need to be hungout for airing
but do protest against one of good" Congressman
shooting off his mouth consciously or
do irrepairably harm to defendless millions of the mi
nory groups and races.
Dr. John W. Davis president West Va. State College
spoke Sunday morning at Plymouth Congregational church
under auspices of the colleges Detroit alumni club
The former preacher. who educated at Morehouse
College along with Mordeca Johnson pres dent of How
ard University still carried the impact and logic akin to his
speeches that are invariably dispersed with personal oo
servations that put his point forcetuly al
though they contain bit of humor.
Speaking on the failure to expand the spiritual mind
on the same plane the scientific mind to mako the
changing world one that would World Peace, he di
crossed in his speech to make this observation:
