TAFT FAVORS
VOLUNTARY FEPC

Washington - CAMP 49, Sen
ator Robert A. Taft, Republican
presidential candidate, recently
stated that he would go along with
a voluntary FEPC, but was def
nitely against any compulsory fair
employment practices law.
The Ohio senator admitted that
southerners are fully aware of his
position on civil rights and are not
concerned about it, according to a
copyrighted article appearing in
the U. S. News and World Report,
a weekly news magazine pub
hshed in Washington,
Sen. Taft realizes that his posi-
ton on civil rights might cost him
votes in the north among the Ne
groes, but he said:
Il think intelligent Negroes also
realize in the long run that they
can make much more Roadway by
the kind Of steady, educational
process than they can by trying to
force some kind of law that will
arouse bitter feelings in many
places where it may be tried.
The question of civil rights will
be a dilemma for General Dwight
Eisenhower, thinks Senator Taft.
No one knows whether the general
is for n compulsory fair employ
ment practice law or against it.
The claimed popularity Of Gen.
Eisenhower. another Republican
presidential aspirant, Ignores the
fact that he hasn't taken a posi-
ton on concrete issues like the
FEPC," declared Taft.
III ne takes a position against
II, he loses a vote in the. north. II
he comes out for II, he loses all
southern support and hasn't a
chance TO carry the South
Southerners are not much OPP
posed to a voluntary FEPC such
as he proposed in his FEPc bill.
said the Ohio Republican.
His bill calls for the establish
ment of a voluntary commission
similar TO the one in force during
World War II.
Such a law will keep up a con-
tinuous persuasion and educational
process that would result in a
steady improvement OF the indus
trial position of the Negro" de-
clared Sen. Taft.
Declaring that he is the chief
opponent of Trumanism," the SEN
ator proclaimed his belief in
states rights"
The problems OF welfare, such
as education, health and housing,
are primarily local, ne wrote, ana
should be solved by state and local
governments.

troll.

WILLIAM l. PATTERSON FREED
ON CONTEMPT CHARGES

Washington -- amp -- Will
lam l.. Patterson. executive secre-
tary of the left-wing Civil Rights
Congress last week was freed of
contempt Of Congress charges in
connection with a hearing in 1850
of the House lobbying investigat-
Patterson had been charged with
contempt because he refused TO
submit to the committee the fl
nancial records of the Gro as il
had demanded.
During the progress of this
hearing. Rep. Henderson Lanham
of Georgia repeatedly called Pat
terson a black sob" This remark
repeatedly came after Patterson
accused the state of Georgia of
lynching and showing extreme bias
against Negroes.
Federal Judge Luther w Young
dahl of the L. s. District Court
dismissed the charges against Pat
terson Thursday. He said his de-
cision was based on recent action
taken by a three Judge tribunal
! which held that most of the GRIM
inal provisions of the lobby regis
trauon act are unconstitutional.
Recently, Patterson has been in
the news because OF his book
This Is Genocide," which he is

sidered in the United Nations. In

SOUTH AFRICAN COURT
SHAKES MALAN'S WHITE
SUPREMACY REGIME

Bloemfontein, South Africa ---
(ANP)--A portion of South Afri-
can Prime Minister Daniel F. Ma
lan's white Supremacy" regime
was struck down last week in
"one of the most" important court
battles in the ~ year history of
the Union.
The highest court Of South Az
RIGA handed down a 10000 word
decision declaring as unconstitu-
tional the Malan governments act
of reducing the voting rights OF
1000. 900 colored who now have the
ballot in the Cape province.
The decision brought a demand
for resignation OF the government
from Jan Strauss, former minister
Of agriculture and leader OF the
opposition party.
In this nation where $500, 900
whites dwell alongside 10000, 900
non-whites, denied full property
and political rights. the situation
is desperate.
The court ruled against the So
called Separate Representation OF
Voters Act" which would have
barred mulattoes of Cape Prov
ince, virtually the only voting non.
whites in the Union. Their right to
vote was entrenched in the South
African Act - the country's con-
stitution.
Upon hearing OF the Supreme
Court decision, Prime Minister
Malan Immediately called a meet
ing of his cabinet, then announced
that his government would take
the necessary steps" to end this
ruling. He declared:
Neither parliament nor the peo-
pie Of South Africa will be pre-
pared to acquiesce in a position
where the Legislative sovereignty
of the lawfully and democratically
elected representatives of the peo-
pie Is denied"
He did not explain just what his
party would do.
The democratic" elections to
which DR.. Mslan referred find the
native Africans literally deprived
Of any voting powers whatsoever
through provisions similar 70 the
American poll taxes and property
provisions, and the coloreds able
to vote only in the Cape province
These native voters cannot elect a
member Of their own race, but
vote for white persons in the a.
