Motor ists are asked to cooperate on this so 1t won't be necessary to issue summons.

Thursday morning the house
appropriations committee acted
on FEPC and II IL was recon.

committee II viii be placed on
general orders Of the house for
final action.
Because of difference in rules
II win probably come before the
senate first.
There Is a possibility that Il
will reach the senate floor as
early as today friday but IL is
expected to come on the floor
within the next two weeks.
The chances are that Il will
have TO be placed on the special
orders calendar of the house in
order to be considered at this
session OF the legislature.
In the 1883 session. FEpC lost
by one vote being placed on spec
ial orders calendar.
Proponents of the bill feel that
II IL has to be put on special or.
ders In the house II stands n pref
ty good chance. For a bin to be
placed on special orders, requires
two-thirds vote.
The senate finance committees
cut in the appropriation was the
first major setback that the bill
has had this session OF the legis'
lature.
Leaders OF the Minnesota Coun.
ell for FEPC were disappointed
by the committees action be-
cause they felt they had reduced
the budget to what they thought
was the barest minimum.
