Eisenhower Still
Opposes FederaI
FEPc. Wilkins Suys

New York - CAMP - While
other Republicans have indicated
a desire to support a federal FEP
law, Dwight d. Eisenhower has
remained firmly entrenched
against one.
Eisenhower disclosed that fact
last week after an hour-long in
terview with Roy Wilkins, ad-
ministrator of the NAACP.
Wilkins paid high tribute to
Eisenhower's sincerity in oppos-
ing racial discrimination, but dis
scented from the Republican NOM
inee's unwillingness to support a
compulsory federal FEPC.
I'VE feel without enforcement,
FEPC is just good advice" Will
kins said. Il was dissatisfied with
the generals reply. We can't
judge candidates on FEPC, al
though Negroes feel very strongly
about the ISSUE"
wilkins gave his impressions
of the generals attitude on civil
rights. He said:
1. He is for abolition of the
poll tax.
2. He wants federal action"
against both lynching and the poll
tax (Wilkins said he understood
this to mean an amendment to the
constitution requiring approval of
three-fourth of the states. He
UNDERSIGNED Eisenhower's use of
the phrase federal action" rather
than Legislation"
3. Eisenhower reaffirmed he is
against inequality and discrimin-
alton and believes the federal
government should act in that
sense within its powers"
4. He said he opposes the fill
buster. But he promptly added the
senate makes it's own rules and as
President he could not change
those rules.
5. He reemphasized he is
against segregation in the Armed
Forces.
8. ccording to wilkins
Eisenhower was more positive
than before in favoring nondis-
elimination among federal en-
ployees.
7. He advocated a commission
to bring out the facts on discrim-
ination in employment (Wilkins
commented: Discrimination a
gainst a Negro is visible to the
naked eye, and needs no new sur
veys."
Wilkins concluded by saying
that except for Eisenhower's
stand on compulsory FEPC.
don't think either he or Steven
son has said anything that would
cause a great surge against them
among Negroes"

Alaska RR Employees Sue For Back Overtime Pay From 1884 to 1945

ANCHORAGE, (Ho = Charges that Alaska Railroad time records subpoened for employees back pay hearings were deliberately de- stroyed" were made by attorneys at a hearing session Tuesday.
 Elrdy Hinman, assistant to the lines general manager, testified he had destroyed records having to do with time put in by operat- ing employees from 1884 to 1945. He said, however, that his action was merely the routine destruc- ton Of materials of no further use and that it had nothing to do with the suits for overtime pay during those years filed against the railroads. He said he would take the sole responsibility for his act.
 Line employees contend the gov ernment owes them thousands of dollars in overtime pay since 1884. Final decision will be made in Washington by the Court of Claims after a transcript of the proceedings here are sent to the court.

South Refuses To Accept Loyalty
 Rule'' At Chicago

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, (P) - Southerners angered by a loyalty rule' adopted by the Democratic national convention were reported Tuesday to be in clined to refuse to take it, but sit tight in the convention.
 That would put up to the Tru- man "Fair Deal" wing of the party, which slammed the rule through early Tuesday morning, the question of whether to throw the objectorS out of the 31st Dem ocratic convention.
 The great North-South battle threatened to tear the Democratic conclave apart. It overshadowed for the moment the question of the presidential nomination-one that many delegates were saying would be answered finally by the growing draft movement for Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
 Some of the top men from five southern states-Georgia, Louisi- ana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia-c0ntend that state laws, or state party rules, stand in the way of their delegations pledging to back the conventions nominees as the rightful Demo- cratic candidates in their states.
 As delegates began dropping back to this big hall for their second days session, southern delegates were holding caucuses in downtown hotels.
 Frank Ellis, Louisiana national committeeman, said the attitude of his delegation was to refuse the pledge but "stay Gin the con- vention) until we are kicked out"
 Despite Stevenson's continued diSavowal of interest in the presi- dential nomination, reporters were following him about as if he were already the nominee.
 The draft winds for Stevenson were reported to be one reason why Vice President Alben w. Barkley pulled out of the presi- dential contest Monday night.
