Under the rules the next oppor-

the Rules Committees files will
be the second Monday in Febru-
ary. However, Feb. IS happens
this year to be a holiday, which
probably postpones the whole
issue until Feb. 81, the fourth
Monday. BY that time the waiting
list will doubtless be as long as it
is today-maybe longer. Unless
strong pressure is brought to bear
the outlook for House vote on
FEPC or any other civil rights
measure is not likely on Feb. q
or any other early date. The adj
ministration, as in duty bound,
will do what it can. But perhaps
the folks at home might make
their wishes felt, too; they might
remind their own Representatives
