FEPC LAWS
WINNING

NEW YORK-Since 1941, FEPC
laws of varying strictness have
been enacted by ten states. John
H. Burma, chairman of the So
ciology Department at Grinnell
College, Iowa, defends present

Writing in the June, American
Mercury Magazine, he answers
favorably the question, Can The
FEPC Work." Burma points to
recent comprehensive survey
that showed FEPC ''had failed to
cause the significant new prob
lens predicted, such as personal
friction, loss Of previously en-
ployed workers, or interference
with securing the best available
persons for Jobs. "In addition
FEPC laws, "are getting volun-
tary acceptance by the vast ma
jority of employers, employment
agencies, and unions. While
most FEPC legislation is on a
state level, he predicts, "a more
determined and finally success

The kickoff luncheon of the
United College Fund in Mass.
was held Friday, June 2, at Hotel.
Lenox at IL: 80 Pm.
DR.. Charles S. Johnson, presi-
dent Of Fisk University, Nash
vile, Tenn, made a convincing
speech, stressing that the thirty
two colleges united in the drive
deserve public support for they
are handmaidens Of society as a
whole. He showed that education
in private colleges still needs the
accelerating process of democra-
cy which only enlightend citi-
zens can give. He further stated
that when education in America
is all it ought to be there will be
no more need Of colored colleges.
But, because of the dislocations
of human relations in the South
they are now vital to national
welfare. He urged the need for
help because even the higher tut
tons paid in these colleges only
cover 27 percent 81 the cost Q
/ education.
Dr., H.. fxa,,e,4oI f-ttYf1nf- pres
ident and director of the Ole
I Colony Trust Co., represented the
best tradition of Boston always
ready to contribute and support
worthwhile causes. He struck a
high note in warning Indifferent
Americans of the illusion that
the nation is safe because they
may have the comfortable feel
ing as for them and their house
hold educational opportunities
are secured. This is Pearl Har-
Dor illusion Of safety. Not until
all enjoy these privileges is
the country safe, he said.
Other speakers were Mayor

Msgr. Cornelius T. Sherlock of
the Catholic Church and Mrs.
Ruth Williams, representing Gov.

man of the drive, represented the
