all in my power as president 10
get rid Of it."
However, the President refused
to go along with his visitors rep
resenting the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People on dealing with unfair en-
pioyment practices. They contend
ed that the only way to combat
race discrimination in employ
ment is to have a law on the books
such as the Fair Employment
Practices Act, protecting workers
against intolerant employers.
That's where we disagree,
though I will go along with you
that there are biased employers in
this country" replied Eisenhower.
While I don't approve Of these
people. neither do approve of u.s.
ing any sort of compulsion on any,
one regarding employment in
place of business. 1 also have
doubts about the Jurisdiction of a
Federal FEPC Commission in the
various states under our Con-
stitution."
The President demonstrated
that he is making a real effort to
keep abreast of racial intolerance
in government projects. When
NAACP director Walter White
told him that slum clearance in
some areas meant that Negroes
were moved out but couldn't
move back after new housing was
provided, Ike seemed to know
about 1t.
II know there has been some
discrimination in that matter, and
I have talked it over with hous-
ing officials" he agreed earnestly.
Il think anything like that is in
tolerable. I can assure you that
something will be done about it.
Under no circumstances should
Federal Assistance be given to
anything to promote segregation"
However, the President seemed
surprised to learn that segrega-
ton was still practiced in inter-
state travel despite a Supreme
Court decision outlawing it. In
formed that a Colored Air Force
Lieutenant recently was jailed in
Florida because he wouldn't give
up his seat on an Alabama-bound
bus, Ike became incensed.
That's hard to believe" he re-
acted. That was a case OF inter-
state travel where the Federal
government has jurisdiction. I'll
see to it that a complete investi-
cation is made of that case"

this matter.
My information Is that this in

pose OF boarding and housing per-
sons who have been released from
state or private institutions or the
City Workhouse, In which they
had been institutionalized for al

has been termed normal society.
