Cummins E. Speakman, Jr.
Tells of Foreign Policy at
Century Club Meeting
ANSWERS QUESTIONS

The importance of the part play
ed by individuals, groups, and
clubs in the formation of foreign
policy was stressed by Cummins
e. Speakman, Jr. in a talk before
the Twentieth Century Club last
Friday evening. A member of the
staff of the Woodrow Wilson
School of Foreign Affairs, Univer-
sity of Virginia, he traced the atti-
tude of Americans in international
relations from the time of Wood
row Wilson, who knew of the value
of the people in policy forming,
through the period when this coun-
try Withdrew, and later, after
World War II, the realization of
its Importance. From this attitude
has stemmed, through public pres
sure, the program of educating
German prisoners of war, and the
German trainee program now be-
ing conducted, he said. Speaking of
the group of Germans now under
his charge, he said that their i'm
pressions of New York were "stag-
gering," and also that they are
impressed by our high standard of
living, and the informality found
even in high places. Emphasis is
laid on the Importance of having
the men meet many kinds of
Americans, and he also said they
will be taken to the United Ma
tions, and to roundtable on Ger
man rearmament to be held at
Yale University.

Administration Loses
Hope for Passage Of
FEPC Bill This Year
BY the Assoeiofed Press

TIE administration may change
a Senate vote or two but it has
no real hope of enacting Fair
Employment Practices Commis-
sion bill in this session of Con-
greSs.
A Truman lieutenant. who asked
not to be quoted by name. gave
this analysis of the situation yes
terday in the light of statements
by Majority Leader Lucas that
another desperate" effort will be
made to get action on an anti
job discrimination bill.
Senator Lucas said he hopes to
change a vote or two to reverse
the recent Senate decision against
breaking a Southern Democratic
filibuster on the motion to take
up the FEPC measure. Thirty
two Senators were recorded
against breaking the filibuster and
one other was committed to side
with them.
Southern Bloc Ready for Test.
Under the Senate's rules, the
Democratic leader would have to
get 81 recorded yes" votes to
clamp on debate gag. That
would mean he would have to
take at least one vote away from
the other side even if all So Sen
ators were on hand to answer to
their names.
Even if the administration sue
ceeded in getting the bill before
the Senate, the Truman lieuten-
ant said there would be virtually
no chance of stopping fllibuster
against the measure itself.
He said four Senators willing to
vote to bring the bill up would
vote against ending debate on it
once it was before the Senate.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, quarterback of the Dixie
FEPC opponents. said his forces
are ready for another test any,
time.
May Try Another Bill.
In the light of the signs that
FEPC may be a dead duck, some
Republicans were talking about
the possibility of trying to bring
up some other civil rights measure
before the session ends.
One Republican leader said the
possibility of trying to get action
on an anti-lynching bill had been
discussed by the party's Senate
Policy Committee.
He said, however, that he and
others want to be certain before
they make any such attempt that
they will have almost solid back
ing of Republican members for an
attempt to break the Southern
fllibuster sure to get started
against the move. i
Republicans polled 80 of their
AZ votes for the FEPC debate gag
which lost. Only 19 of the 81
Democrats voted for it.
