:N democrat OF new YORK, ldSC
'HO ., introduced resolution in
T. S1sSn calling upon President
Tru4 IS to issue an executive or
der creating a Federal fair en-
ployment practice commission
The resolution directed atten-
ton to the fact that June 25 will
mark the tenth anniversary of the
issuance of the FEPC executive
order by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, reaffirming the policy
Of full participation in the defense
program by all persons, regard
less of race or religion.
1t also pointed out that June 25
also marks the first anniversary
of the outbreak of fighting in Ko-
rea, and that this nation again
faces bitter enemies who would
destroy democracy and the Ameri-
can way of life = enemies more
powerful than those it had in 1941.
"In order to asure our victory
in the terrible struggle in which
we are engaged" Mr.. Dollinger
said, "It is as necessary now, as
it was in 1941, that we put to
use all our available. manpower,
resources, and talents so that our
defense program may go forward
as planned, for the preservation
Of our life and liberty"
The resolution asserts that it
has been the established polity of
this country to forbid race or re-
ligious discrimination in the en-
ployment of workers in defense in
dustries or government, and to
consider it the duty of employers,
in furtherance of that policy, TO
provide for full and equitable par
ticipation of all workers without
discrimination.
Mr.. Dollinger said there is much
evidence that available and needed
workers have been barred from
employment solely because of race,
religion, or national origin, to the
detriment of morale of the
workers and of national unity, and
the purpose of his resolution is to
end such discrimination.
"Our avowed aim in the present
conflict is to protect free people
and to preserve democratic ideals,
and it behooves us to wipe out
discrimination wherever it is found
in our own country" Mr.. Dollin-
ger declared.
The resolution proposed that
President Truman follow the same
proceduce used by President Roose-
velt in 1941. The executive order
issued by Mr.. Roosevelt author
lied the FEPC to formulate poll
cies to achieve the purposes of the
order and to recommend appro-
pirate measures for bringing about
the full utilization and training
Of manpower in and for war pro-
duction without race or religious
discrimination.
The Roosevelt order also pro-
vided that departments and agen-
cies of the Federal Government
concerned with vocational and
training progress or war produc-
ton should take necessary steps to
assure that such programs were
administered without diScrimina-
tion..

February, 1948. All parties except
Mr.. De Valera's Soldiers of Des-
tiny Fianna FaiD were repre-
sented in Mr.. Costello's cabinet.
The government coalition in
cluded a handful of independents
who have been challenging Mr..
Costello's policies recently. Ris-
ing living costs increased the
stresses, though Ireland's f1nan-
cial position has improved SO
much that American Marshall

z 900 Jam Fourteenth and +
In Effort to Spot Phil Regon

In a setting akin to a friendly
riot in Bogota, a Washington man
spotted Crooner Phil Regan in a
crowd yesterday and got $500 fol
the achievement.
Advertising Defense bonds and
Pepsi Cola, the stunt pulled 1000
or more to the intersection of
Fourteenth and F streets NV. just
in time for the noon hour rush.
The idea was to recognize Mr..
IRegan and then place a Pepsi bot
tie cap in his hand-which is ex-
actly what Stanley Berg, 33. of
HOO Mississippi avenue Sc. did.
Mr.. Berg hauled the singer to
midintersection and the crowd
closed in. Policemen helped Mr..
Regan to a nearby sound truck
and the crowd surrounded that.
Traffic, needless to say. stopped
and police, needed by the 20
