Fair Employment
Board Of Citizens
Rejected by Donohue

District Commissioners F.. Jo-
Seph Donohue today stood firm
in his contention that the Com
missioners rather than a citizens
committee should work toward
fair employment practices in the
city government.
The District branch of the AS
Sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People had proposed that
the Commissioners order depart
ment heads to hire and promote
on merit and set up citizens
committee to make certain the
order is carried out.
billiard H. Brown, president of
the NAACP's District branch,
urged that the order be issued
now in the course of recognizing
the city government.
Commissioner Donohue's letter
refusing to set up such a COM
mittee drew this retort from
Clarence Mitchell, director of
the Washington bureau of the
NAACP:
"The refusal to set up an FEPC
Igets his party off to a bad start
lin an election year, especially
since there is a current report
that he will soon be chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee. This is a poor way to
convince voters that the civil
rights plank adopted in Chicago
will be translated into successful
action"
Commissioner Donohue told re-
porters his letter to the NAACP
spoke for itself.
"No citizens committee" he
wrote the NAACP, land no de-
Ipartment head of the District can
do for the Board of Commissioners
what the board can, should and
I hope will do for ITSELF"
He added his assurance that
my action is not to be construed
as being opposed to the principle
of fair employment"
ut is my hope" he went on,
"that as time goes on, the ap-
pointment of qualified Negroes to
public Office within the govern
ment of the District of Columbia
will justify the position which
I take"
He acknowledged to reporters
that there has been prejudice
against colored employees in the
District government but he tool
the view that a commission would
not solve it. He said the Com
missioners have to work it out.

ID. T.. Officials Study
Licensing Of Snack
Vending Machines

The District is working on the
problem Sof how to license snack
vending machines without driving
the owners out of business.
About six weeks ago, c. T. Not
tingham, District license superin-
tendent, noticed the spillage
around coffee vending contrap-
tion in the Municipal Center. The
overflow was attracting flies.
The license boss decided there
and then that such machines
needed inspecting.
Protest Cost of Licensing.
The devices have never re-
quired licenses up to now. Their
owners are protesting the cost
of licensing them would make
business improbable.
Some machines could be licensed
for So. Others, though, would need
a SIS or $40 fee, because the fee
is supposed to pay for the inspec-
ton costs. Elaborate machines
which vend four drinks would
need more of an inspectors time
than a simpler machine.
City Has 10000 Machines.
There are more than 10000
vending machines in the District
officials report. Cigarette machines
are licensed under another law.
Mr.. Nottingham said there's M
need to license machines which
serve pre-packaged or bottled foot
or drinks. There's no food Sani'
tation problem with them.
Several owners of the machine:
have pointed out that their me-
chanical statesmen already have
been approved by Food and Drue
Administration inspectors. They
say there's no need for further
inspection.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. T.
Gen. Eisenhower tactical COM
mitments to the Taft wing Of
the Republican Party are now
so complete as to challenge the
whole validity Of the assumption
on which he was nominated at
Chicago.
That assumption was simple.
It was that the country is now
roughly divided into three
classes of voters: Confirmed
Democrats, comprising some
thing over a third of the total;
confirmed Republicans, who are
something less than a third,
with the remainder which is
the balance Of power being
classified as independents.
It was reasoned by the Eisen-
hover supporters-and they SO
persuaded the national conven-
ton, with the help Of the South
ern delegate drama-that SEN
ator Taft was too partisan, too
conservative. too isolationist, to
appeal to the large independent
vote. Therefore, they said, he
could not win. That argument

Bevan is a pretty good show
man. While he was a member
of Mr.. Churchill's wartime cab

ing at official functions in a
brown suit which needed press

dress clothes, or at least a dark

Bevan's crusade for> neutral

and across the Channel who are
anxious to write Off any further
