gate cases of discrimination ir

1t would establish authority tc
take such cases to the Courts to
seek injunctions against discrim-
inatory practices in employment.
The full text of Humphreys let
ter to Powell follows:
Dear Mr.. Chairman:
Permit me to take this occa-
sion to express my support for
the Federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Act" as favorably
reported by the Special Labor
Subcommittee and now pending
before your full committee.
Since first came to the Con-
gress in 1949 I have pressed for
adoption of legislation to pro-
hibit discriminatory employment
practices based on a PERSONS
race, color, religion or national
origin. There can be no excuse
for denying a fellow American
a job because of the color of his
skin, the place where he wor-
ships, or the country of his des-
cent. Yet, unfortunately, millions
do find job opportunities closed
to them for these very reasons.
This is a basic denial of freedom
totally out of character in an
open and free society.
There are those who argue
that we cannot legislate against
prejudice, that this is a matter
that can only be corrected
through the educational process,
1t is true that legislation won't
remove prejudice from a persons
mind, but it can and does stop
discriminatory actions. Fair en-
ployment practices legislation
has worked in countless cities
and states - including my own
home city of Minneapolis and
State of Minnesota. And I am
convinced it will work as well
on the national level, too.
Praises Present Committee
The fine work being done by
the Committee on Equal EN-
ployment Opportunity illustrates
what can be done in this area,
Much Of the credit for the con-
structive work of this Commit
tee goes to its chairman, Vice
President Lyndon Johnson. With
a minimum of fanfare and
through the use of good Judge
ment and common sense the Vice
Presidents Committee has made
exceptional progress in the short
period of its existence in elm
mating discriminatory employ,
ment patterns both in and out Of
government.
Only Valid Test
If we truly believe in liberty
and in the dignity of man, ther
we as legislators have a duty
to see that our government as
sures each and every American
that discriminatory employment
practices will no longer be per-
mitted to bar them from posi-
tons to which they are entitled
on the basis of their abilities
training and skills. The only
valid test for employment ir
America is whether or not a
person has the qualifications tc

commissioners and given to a

In addition, the Independents
want laws requiring rezoning
petitioners to notify adjacent
property owners Of their plans
within 70 hours after filing pc
titions. Also, the platform
drafters urged that rezonings
revert back TO original CLASH
fications If the subject land is
not developed within a certain
period. This is designed to dis

But q number Of platform
planks already are raising

The primary left the organi-

said.
