foreement powers were merely

effect to eliminate discrimination
in employment. Mr.. Wilkins said
far chance at employment and
promotion on the job was the
No. ! concern of Negro Ameri-
cans. He pointed out that in the
last Congress seven Republican
senators had joined with ten
Democrats in sponsoring the
Humphrey-Ives FEpC bill, S.
1868.
Gen Eisenhower said he
thought a commission to study
employment patterns and get the
facts, expose the conditions. and
advise the states would be the
thing to establish and that he IA
vored such a move. He said he
thought ii was unfortunate that
FEPC had become such sym
Dol that a candidates good inten-
tons and sincerity were judged
solely by his attitude toward r
EPC.
Mr.. Spaulding said that perhaps
it was not entirely fair, in the
abstract sense, to judge a eandi-
date solely by FEPC, but that it
had become a symbol, in the
minds of millions of whites as
well as Negroes, of the whole civ
IL rights question. He said that in
the light of the gross diserimina-
ton in employment it was under
standable that Negroes tender to
judge a candidate by his attitude
on this bread-and-butter question,
Mr.. wilkins pointed out that
while Republican governments in
New York and New Jersey had
passed state FEPC laws, Repub-
lican legislatures in Ohio, ILL
nois, Pennsylvania, and Califor-
mia had either failed to act, or
had defeated such bills. Mr..
Spaulding added a personal word
on the Pennsylvania situation. He
urged federal action upon Mr..
Eisenhower, but the latter said he
just felt that a Federal law was
not the way to solve the prob
lem.
Mr.. Eisenhower vigorously de
clared himself in favor of ending
segregation in the District of
Columbia, saying tina it should
be wiped out in the capital Of
the nation. He said he was not
clear on just how the congress

would work out the problem but
