SUMMARY OF LAW


employment agencies to specify
any discriminatory qualifications
of race, color or creed; requires
labor unions to admit and service
members of all religions and races
without discrimination; forbids the
use of discriminatory help-wanted
advertising, questionnaireS or ap-
plication blanks; and requires non
discrimination clauses in all state
contracts.
Michigan is the tenth state to
adopt such legislation with en-
forcement provisions.
The law authorizes the Commis-
sion, through it's staff to investi-
gate complaints of job dlscrimina-
ton either by employers or labor
unions, and to engage in efforts
to bring about compliance with
the law by conciliation. If con-
ciliation fails tn e Commissions
next step is to call a public hear
ing at which testimony is taken,
and as order to comply is issued.
AS a final step, the Commission
may apply to the courts for an
order to enforce it's decision. The
Commission has no direct subpoena
power but may apply to the courts
to force the appearance of wit
neSses.
The law also directs the Com
mission to engage in a statewide
educational program to promote
the elimination of racial and re-
ligious prejudice and 'discrimina-
ton.
The history of the FEPC issue
in Michigan is story of persistent
effort to raise the question above
the arena of partisan politics.
In the end, the law was adopted
only after political decision at
the polls.
In 1949 Democratic Governor
Williams made his first recon-
mendation for FEPC to the Re-
publican-dominated state legiSla-
ture. A few w ks later the
Republican st tie Convention
ioined with the Democratic Con-
vention in endorsing FEPC. But
in April 1949, the Democrats were
soundly defeated in Michigan's BIZ
ennial spring election-and the
Republican legislative e d er S
promptly dropped FEPC.
No secret was made of the con-
nection between the election ana
the attitude of the Legislature.
The Detroit News bluntly said:
prospects for a Michigan fair
employment practices commission
faded with the Democratic defeat
at the spring election"
Then followed several years IN
which the isue was regularly de-
feated in partisan votes-an DEM
ocnats in the Michigan House OF
Representatives voting for FEPC,
and all but a few Republicans Vot-
ing against It.
But although the Governor could
not muster the strength in the Re-
publican Legislature to adopt the
measure, his appeals began to have
an effect. A Republican champion
of FEPC arose in the person OF
State Representative Louis c.
Cramton, of Lapeer, an elder
statesman of his party, and for
mer Congressman. Rep. Cramton
Joined with Rep. Ed Carey of De-
troit, Democratic minority leader
of the House, to forge bipartisan
bloc in support of fair employment
practices.

Oppenheimef's chief concern
was the alleged exclusion Of SCI

"Let me tell you without

Russian Actions Boost
Presidents Peace Hopes

once, he said, the West must be
prepared to pursue possible new
approaches toward solutions no
matter how many years it takes
to achieve them.
In discussing prospects for the
Big Four conference, Mr.. Eisen-
hover made these other points:
l. He does not care whether
the meetings last for three cor
six days, but must insist on some
agreed time limit because with
Congress in session and passing
legislation requiring action by
him he cannot be out of the
country too long.
2. Russia has not yet replied
Ito Western proposals that the
conference be held at Geneva
July 1921.
8. Honest neutrality would be
Ia great advantage for the Soviet
satellite countries of Eastern
Europe, which America does not
want to see kept as slave states.
4. The United States should
be greatly concerned in winning
nations neutral in the cold war
over to the idea that their free
dom is worth preserving.
Questioned on Statement
The President was asked if, in
view of his warning at West
Point yesterday against "fatuous
expectations" that the Big Four
conference could work a mirac-
ulous cure for a sick world. he
thought there was any real
chance for accomplishing any,
thing at the meeting.
He emphasized. in reply that
he also had said he would never
cease searching out any new
avenue that would lead toward
peace.
There is a great faith in the
world, he added, that a talk at
the summit might open up new
paths toward easing tensions.
Therefore. what he was trying
to say, Mr.. Eisenhower went on.
is not to expect too much from
the first conference. but hope
that it could open up new ave-
nues that would make the sub
sequent search for real peace
fruitful rather than frustrating.

LONDON, June 8. - Parlia-

Labor MPs met privately to-
