FLIMSY FEPC
BILL PASSED
BY HOUSE

The weak Mcconnell bill had
been substituted for the Powell
measure at the end of fifteen
hour session early Thursday
morning by a crucial test vote Of
221-178, with practically all Of
the southern Democrats joined by
l04 Republicans, supporting the
move for substitution. Following
confused and hectic session in
the afternoon, a firaI roll call
was taken and the Mcconnell bill
was passed, with the Dixiecrats
voting against its enactment.
'The best proof that the SUBJ
stitute is weak and Ineffective is
the fact that southern Democrats
went down the line for it with
even Rep. Rankin voting for it
in the initial test" Acting NACP
Roy Wilkins said.
IT h re reactionary elements
hoped to kill even this ineffective
substitute by recomrnitting it.

when that body by a vote of 240-

measure shorn of all legal powers

The original bill introduced by
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (Dem.,

penalties for discrimination in
employment. The no-teeth, sub
stitute bill was sponsored by Rep. |
Samuel X. Mcconnell (Rep., Pa.). !
The Mcconnell bill, passed by the |
House, is little more than a

mission could conduct investiga-

WHO'S WHO IN NORWAY

ABEL. Niels Henrik, born 5/S
1902, died ga 1929, mathematic-
ian. Proved his exceptional gifts
at an early age through studies
of equations of the fifth power
while still in high school. He grad
uated in 1921, and four years later
went to Germany on state
scholarship as a result of his work
of 1924, proving the impossibility
of solving equations of the fifth
power through elem en- AIRY
algebra, an important step for
ward in the theory of equations
While in Germany he founded the
"Crelle's Journal" in collabora-
ton with the German mathemati-
clan Crelle. This journal is still
one Of the most important publ
cations for international mathe-
NAUTICAL science. In the summer
of 1926 he arrived in Paris, but
was bitterly disappointed in the
cool reception offered him and
his theories. The French Academy
did not even bother to read his
trea.ice on elliptic integrals. This
paper was never printed until u
years after his death.
On the way home he stayed for
some time in Berlin. busily pursu-
ing his studies of equations which
may be solved by elementary al
gebraic methods. This type of
equation has since been named
after him.
After his return to Norway he
spent two years in misery and
disappointment. on meager pay as
assistant teacher at Oslo Univers-
ity. and died from tuberculosis
when only 81 years old Shortly
before his death he was summoned
to the Berlin University but was
unable to accept this well-deserved
honor. Abel is generally acknow-
lodged as one Of the most out
standing young genii Of European
mathematical science in the 10th
century.
