independence Day
M { S sA G E
of Consul lbonez

To FilipinOs at home and
abroad, July 4 is a day that
awakens once more in their
hearts the highest manifestation
of their love of country, her
ideals and traditions. For this
date, five years ago, marked the
beginning of a dignified life for
their people when the United
States of America proclaimed to
all the world the birth of the
Republic of the Philippines.
Filipinos abroad look on this
day with deep reverence and
genuine pride pride in the
thought that their country and
people have finally come to
enjoy the blessings of freedom
for which they aspired for CEN
turtles past.
This day should become a day
of rededication - rededication
to the lofty principles upon
which the Philippine Republic
has been conceived and estab-
lished.

Consul, Republic of the
PHILIPPINES.

The Question Is Asked Why Truman
Has Not Established An F.E.p.(. Law

WASHINGTON, .. c. (NNPA)
The question of establishment
by President Truman of an emer-
gency fair employment practice
commission was raised in the
House last Wednesday during de-
bate of bill to amend the 1949
Reorganization Act SO as to short
en- the time for congressional re-
view of emergency reorganization
plans before they become effect
i've.
The bill was being piloted
through the House by Represen-
tative William L. Dawson of Illi-
nois, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the
Executive Departments. It would
shorten the waiting period before
emergency plans take effect from
sixty to eighteen days.
Representative w. j. Brya n
Dorm, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, a member Of the Executive
Expenditures Committee, raised the
FEPC question. He asked Rep
resentative Cnet Holifield, DEM
ocrat, of California, also a COM
mittee member, whether the bill
would give the President any right
other than what he already has
to establish an nNFEPC.
Mr.. Holified said he understood
the opposition to - the bill was
using the FEPC question to de-
feat the bill.
The Defense Production Act and
other emergency legislation, Mr..
Holified said. clearly gives" the
President authority to put into all
defense contracts a clause prohib-
iting racial or religious discrim-
ination in employment.
Mr.. Halified said his opinion
was that the pending bill would
not give the President as much
power as he now has.
Inasmuch as the President has
used FEPC as "a political foot
balr Representative John Bell
Williams, Democrat, of MiSsissip-
pi, wanted to know why had Mr..
Truman not established an FEPC
if he has the power to do so. r
Arizona sun., 1951-03-23

by a series Ol QueSIlUIIS Ml
Williams sought to bring out that
if the President should include
in a reorganization plan an FEPC,
under the proposed bill the Con-
gress would have to reject the
plan within eighteen days "to
keep from having an FEPC foisted
on our people"
Representative Burr P. Harri-
son, Democrat, of Virginia, asked
Mr.. Holified, the author of the
bill, whether he would accept an
amendment that nothing in the
measure shall be deemed to give
the President power to form an
FEPC.
Mr.. Halified replied that he had
no authority to commit anyone
on such an amendment or to ac-
cept it. He said personally he
would vote against such an amend
ment if it were offered
Later in the debate, Represen-
tative Henderson L. Langham,
Democrat, of Georgia, also a
member of Mr. Dawson's who
once called William L. Patterson,
executive secretary of the Civil
Rights Congress, "a black Sob"
appealed to SouthernerS in behalf
of the bill.
Mr.. Langham argued that the
President does not have the right
under the 1949 Reorganization Act
to set up an FEPC or ito give
any organization the function of
preventing discrimination in any
way" If he could not do it under
the 1949 act, he said, he cannot
do it under the proposed bill.
The George Congressman said
there are some injustices in the
South, but an FEPC and compul-
sorry federal legislation "is not the
way to solve the problem in the
South. he SAID ne is Still opposed
to an FEPC.
Representative Clare E. Hoff-
man, of Michigan, ranking Repub-
lican member of the Executive
Expenditures Committee, argued
that the bill was "an attempt to
get indirectly under the plea OF
all emergency what he (the Presi-
dent) could not get directly" He
said it would permit the President
to set up an FEPC.
General debate on the bill was
concluded before the House ad-
journed, but a vote on the meas
ure was postponed until Tuesday

POEM OF THE
WEEK
THE DEVILS WORKSHOP

THE DEVILS WORKSHOP
An idle brain is dangerous
In it satan loves to stop,
He brings all his tools with him
And builds up coZy work shop.
Any place to build will suit him
He's happy to think he has
begun,
But likes best to certainly know
He has started his work on the
young.
For now he says in triumph,
Ere he reaches the age to mature
I'll have him in good shape
to use him
AS tool, many more to allure.
Someone may ask the question,
What is an idle brain?
It's filling the mind with foolishness
Then bad thoughts satan will
bring.
When he gets bad thoughts
entered,
He readily puts you to sleep
On a soothing draught called
carelesSneSs,
Then he drags you into the deep.
He makes you see things wrong
fully
By beginning on the eyes.
My foundation he smiles can readily
Be based on telling lies.
When satan gets you lying
. Into his power you yield,
Now says satan it's easy
To make my victim steal.
Satan's happy to get you stealing,
He's filling you with strife
Which will make you willing
so quickly
To take some persons life.
It's sad when your brain is idle.
And your way, you let Satan
pave,
Sometimes it even leads you
Down to a drun 'card's grave.
And when you leSst expect it
Often loved ones are left in
shame,
Your life being taken instantly
In a wicked gambling game.
It's best not to let the brain
Slumber
Keep awake with good thoughts
all the time
Let Jesus awake you and keep you,
A good work to your brain
he'll assign.
I'll tell again it's dangerous
In your mind to let carelessness
stop.
For it's true you cannot deny it
An idle brain is the devils
work shop.
