President Defends.
Decision TO DELAY
FEPC Bill Debate

President Truman today de-
Tended administration action in
Sidetracking debate on the Fair
Employment Practices Commits
sion bill until Marshall Plan funds
have been voted.
That decision was reached Mon
day. While the President insisted
that determined effort would be
made to pass fair practices legis-
lation, he said that there was no
use in running into a fllibuster of
FEPC and blocking action on a
measure that affects the entire
world.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Re-
publican and Democratic leaders
continued their word battle over
the decision to put foreign eco
nomic aid ahead of civil rights.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee late yesterday de-
manded immediate consideration
of a Fair Employment Practice
bill. Chairman Taft said the
policy group felt the Democratic
decision to put off FEPC until
after action on the foreign aid bill
throws doubt on the good faith
Of the majority in the whole civil
rights program"
"Poppycock," Lucas Says.
Political poppycock," replied
Majority Leader Lucas of Illinois,
who insisted the administration is
serious about enacting bill
barring job discrimination. He
said it can be done if the Re-
publicans will help when the time
comes.
From outside the Senate the
postponement of FEPC brought
a protest from Elmer w. Hen
derson, director of the Amer
ican Council on Human Rights.
He wired his protest to President
Truman, contending there is no
emergency requiring early action
on the ECA bill. He argued a
determined fight for FEPC could
be waged now better than near
the end of the session.
Cooperation Necessary.
Senator Lucas said the Republi-
cans know that Southern Demo-
Gratis are tenacious and sincere"
In their opposition to the FEPC
bill and that Northern Democrats
and Republicans will have to CO.
operate to win the battle.
IF We get their cooperation"
he added, there will not be any
trouble"
An FEPC bill, banning discrim-
ination in employment because of
race. creed or color, has been on
the Senate calendar since last Oc-
tober.
Unlike a voluntary compliance
version recently passed by the
House. it provides enforcement
powers for a proposed Fair EN-
ployment Practices Commission
and penalties for violations.

2. Because the loan value which
could be assigned to the collateral
rendered was not sufficient in the
opinion of the examiner to rea-
sonably secure the loan.
1T appears that nos withstand
ing this recommendation the Ad-
visory Committee and the agency
manager at Dallas decided to rec
ommend a loan of $15.925 .00o,''
Mr.. Warren continued, land the
application was forwarded to the
Washington Office of RFC in ac-
cordance with what is understood
to be standard practice. The
examiner to whom the case was
assigned in the Washington Of
flee recommended that the appli-
cation be declined from a credit
standpoint
Mr.. Warren said this recon-
mendation may have been in
fiuenced by the reports of a con-
sulting geologist, M. M. Garrett,
employed by RFC.
Mr.. Warren said that otter the
adverse report of the Washington
examiner. the matter was referred
to a review committee. which
again recommended it be turned
down.
Mr.. Warren said that, despite
these adverse recommendations
"the Board of Directors of RFC,
apparently in. complete reliance
on reports submitted by the bor-
rower's petroleum engineers, who
apparently did not inspect the
properties, voted to authorize
the loan.

Engineers Told U. 5.
Must Lower Tariffs
TO Make ECA Work

The United States will have to
lower its tariffs and face compe-
tition from increased imports
willingly" to assure success of
the Marshall Plan and economic
recovery of Western Europe, the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers was told today.
William c. Foster. deputy chief
OF the Economic Co-operation
Administration. made the state
ment at a luncheon in the Hote!
Statler. where the society is hold
ing its spring meeting.
The official said tariff reduc-
tlons would enable deficit coun-
tries to earn enough American
dollars to pay for the goods they
need and can get only from this
country.
Most Warplanes Subsonic.
In paper prepared for de-
livery to the society today. Carl
c. Sorgen of the Navy's Bureau
OF Aeronautics said the bulk of
this country's combat aircraft will
be subsonic for many years to
come. even with present develop
ment of supersonic planes.
He said two exceptions will be
made. In both. high performance
nterceptor fighters and guided
missiles, pure jet propulsion will
be used.
A rocket engine manufacturer
told the engineers yesterday that
nve years would be required be-
tween Standardization of the
rocket engine and full volume pro-
auction. The speaker was Harry
B. Horne, jr., an official of a New
Jersey rocket engine firm.
Lack of Funds Blamed,
He said this condition has been
brought about by the restriction
OF funds" for purchase and test
Ing OF missiles and aircraft DOW
cred by liquir rocket engines. The
rocket industry is not able finan-
clally to underwrite a larger pro-
gram of basic research. he added.
In another report yesterday,
Comdrs. R. T.. Simpson of Nor
folk and w. T. Sawyer of the
Navy Bureau of Ships said they
believed it was feasible to cut
down on the size of big steam
power plants in vessels and make
up the difference in horsepower
by Installing light. gas turbines of
the type used in aircraft.
They said this would mean a
28 per cent reduction in the
weight of q, ships propulsion
equipment. In a destroyer, this
would amount to saving 260 tons.
The society continues its ses-
Sions through tomorrow.

In Congress Republican Senate
leaders have decided to come out

investigation into the hands of a

The COP Policy Committee
reached this decision late yester-
day at conference which doomed
the investigation into a major
political issue.
Senator Taft. Republican, of
Ohio made it clear the Republi-
cans are suspicious of the Demo-
Gratis motives in proposing that
the crime inquiry be taken from
the Judiciary Committee.
He said the move apparently
was made to keep two Republi-

In discussing the world situation
the President said that he thought
the low point in our relations came
in 1946 and that he felt that
things had been on the mend since
1916 when this Government began

of Russia by aiding Turkey and
Greece. That marked the inaugu-

Frankly Speaking
F. ]. Johnson

Manager Lou Boudreau has
found it necessary to bench Luke
Easter. the big Negro outfielder-
first baseman because of a hitting
slump. Lucious Luke, who was
the scourge of Coast League pitch
ers, has found that the major
league pitchers are more conserv-
alive about serving home run balls.
AS a result Luke has not come up
to expectations-yet. Boudreau
has not lost faith in Easter and
says that Luke is under too much
pressure to deliver his best at
present, and the short layoff will
do him good. 1t won't be long be-
fore Luke is back in the Cleveland
lineup.
