FEPC Order Being Circulated
Among Government Agencies
A draft of a fair employment
practice, executive order, designed to
eliminate rues or religious discrimination 
in employment on Government 
contracts, is being circulated
among the Government agencies
concerned for their approval or
comment prior, to its submission
to President Truman for signature.
As the order is drafted, it would
not affect employers not having
Government contracts.
The proposed order is designed to
improve the means for obtaining
compliance with the non-discrimination 
clause in Government contracts. 
This clause obligates the
contractor and subcontractors not
to discriminate against any worker
because of race, color, religion, or
national origin.
Recognizing the necessity and destability 
of obtaining such compliance, 
the proposed order provides: 

1. The head of each Government
contracting agency shall be primarily 
responsible for obtaining compliance 
by any contractor or subcontractor 
with the non-discrlminatory 
provision of any contract enteerd 
into by his agency and shall
take appropriate measures to bring
about compliance.
2. An interdepartmental committee 
on Government contract compliance 
would be established. This
committee would consist of representatives 
of the Defense Department, 
the Labor Department, Atomic 
Energy Commission, General
Services Administration, Defense
Materials Procurement Agency, and
six other persons to be named by
the President.
The chairman and vice chairman
of this committee would be designated 
by the President from among
committee members.
3. The committee would be authorized 
on behalf of the President to
examine the rules, procedures and

practices of Government contract,
ing agencies as they relate to obtaining 
compliance with, the nondiscrimination 
clause in Government 
contracts, to determine in
what respect such rules, procedures
and practices may be strengthened
and improved by conference and
advice with apporpriate officers of
various contracting agencies and
other persons concerned with a view
to prevention and elimination, of
discrimination in employment on
such contracts.
The committee also would make
such recommendations to such officers 
and persons as in its judgments 
shall prevent or eliminiate
such discrimination.
4. When deemed necessary, the
committee would forward to the
Director of Defense Mobilization
recommendations designed to prevent 
or eliminate discrimination,
and the director, when he deems it
appropriate, shall forward such
recommendations to to the President
with a statement of his views as to
the relationship of the recommendnations 
to the mobilization effort.
5. The committee would be empowered 
to establish any rules necessary 
for the conduct of its business 

6. All Government contracting
agencies would be authorized and
directed to cooperate with the committee 
and, to the extent permitted
by law, furnish the committee such
information and assistance as it
may require for the performance
of its functions.
7. The participating agencies would
defray such necessary expenses of
the committees as may be authorized 
by law.
The proposed order is believed to
have originated with Charles E.
Wiylson. Director of Defense Mobilization, 
who was a member of President 
Truman's Civil Rights Committee.

The
Bangkok radio said Tuesday that
Thailand's army overthrew the government 
of "strong man" Premier
Luang Pibul Songgram in a bloodless 
coup and seized power to crush
Communists threatening the country. 

The army saved Pibul from a navy
revolt only five months ago. Bangkok 
broadcasts said Communists
elements had "penetrated the government," 
which veered to the
west after the war, and charged
Songgram's Ministers were unable
to "solve the problem or surpress
corruption."
The Army announced by radio
that a new cabinet would be formed
as soon as possible, but the foreign
policy of the country would nut be
changed.
The broadcast said:
"Thailand (Siam) will continue the
struggle to uphold the United Nations, 
strengthen its ties with
friendly nations and resist and surpress 
Communism."
The broadcast quoted an Army
proclamation that a nine-man interim 
committee, headed by Gen.
Pin Chum Ahanwan, has seized
control from the self-proclaimed
field marshal who has ruled Thailand 
behind the throne for nearly
20 years.
That the exact situation in Bangkok 
still was not clear was indicated 
later, tonight when an unidentified 
radio station announced:
"Due to the situation in Bangkok
radio facilities are unreliable."
The Smallish, 54-year-old Pibul,
a professional soldier who declared
war against the Allies in 1942, put
his latest government in power in
1947.

Civic Leader
Found Guilty
Samuel Kelley, Negro civic leader, 
for the second time in two
weeks was found guilty of contempt, 
of court for practicing law
without a license.
Final disposition of the case
against Kelley, who was released
without bond, will be made December 
11.
The second contempt citation
stemmed from a hearing last week
in a $21,000 damage claim against
the Chesterfield County Red Cross
chapter, two Richmonders, including 
a policeman, and a Harrisonburg 
woman."
When summoned before Judge
Sterling Hutcheson, who found him
guilty the first time, Kelly declared: 

"I have never heard at any time
it is against the law for a citizen 
of the United States to assist
an uneducated person the bringing
a matter before the court to secure 
justice."
Kelley explained that any papers 
signed by him were signed,
not as an attorney, but as general
chairman of the Association for
Justice in Virginia and America.

Jim Crow School
Case Postponed
The
Prince Edward County school segregation 
case, originally set for a
federal court hearing December 11,
has been postponed, Judge Stirline 
Hutcheson disclosed last week.
The object of the postponement
is to give the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People an opportunity to "gather
a panel of experts to testify" at
the hearing.
Plaintiffs in the case are more
than. 100 parents who are seeking

an end to segregated schools in
Virginia: They claim that segregation 
is unlawful and that opportunities 
provided for Negroes in
Prince Edward county are not
equal to those offered whites.
Because a constitutional issue is
involved, a special three-judge
court has been named to try the
suit. The Judges are Armistead M.
Dobie of the United States Fourh
Circuit Court of Appeals; Albert
V. Bryan of Alexandria and Hutcheson 
of the Federal District
Court in Richmond.

Patterson Speaks To
Croup On College Fund
No special, privileges 
need be extended to Negroes
to give "this segment of the population 
an even break with the
other ninety per cent of the American 
people," Dr. F. D. Patterson,
president of Tuskegee Institute said
last week in a speech before
2300 persons at the United Negro.
College Fund's third annual symposium 
at Hunter College Auditorium. 

Pointing out that the gains made,
by Negroes toward full rights of
citizenship had been made "entirely 
within the democratic framework," 
Dr. Patterson declared. "it
is necessary to say this, for those
who oppose those rights seem to
assume that their freedom is being 
curtailed, rather than that the
normal privileges of citizenship
are being extended to others." He
added that Negro Americans are
seeking "reciprocity between the
duty to pay taxes and the sight to
say through the ballot, if a given
tax is necessary. Reciprocity between 
the responsibility to serve in
the nation's armed forces and the
right, accorded to other citizens,

to perform that duty under conditions 
free from special handicaps
and humiliation."
Dr. Patterson, who is also the
founder and president of the
United Negro College Fund, was
the keynote speaker at last evening's 
forum at Hunter College,
which had as Its theme "Are We
Close To Solving Our Race Problem?" 
The New York city Clubs
of nine Eastern women's colleges
and the American Association of
University Women joined the Fund
as sponsors of the meeting.
Edward Weeks, Editor of the
Atlantic Monthly, was chairman of
the symposium panel. Other members 
were Dr. Sadie T. M. Alexander, 
legal advisor for the National
Council of Negro Women; George
S. Schuyler, Associate Editor of tin
Pittsburgh Courier and James
Jackson Kilpatrick, Editor of the
Richmond News Leader, Richmond,
Virginia.
Speaking for the affirmative
Mr. Schuyler predicted that if the
present trend toward the abolition
of racially restrictive laws continued, 
the solution of this country's 
race problem would be achieved 
within a generation. He stated
that since 1941 the Supreme Court
has ruled affirmatiely 19 times on
civil rights issues directly affecting
the Negro, including jury exclusion, 
forced confessions, disfranchisement, 
education, segregation
and jim crow transportation. A
million Southern Negroes are voting 
today, Mr. Schuyler declared.
Negro union members have soared
from 400,000 to 1250,000, and scores
of Negroes teach on college faculties 
where "only yesterday there

were none."
Dr. Sadie T. M. Alexander, who
was the first Negro women to earn
a Ph. D. degree, in America (University 
of Pennsylvania, 1921) and
the first to be admitted to the bar
ni Pennsylvania (1927), stated-that
discrimination continues to subvert 
our democracy, by creating an
inferior caste status for more than
one-tenth of the population and oy
encouraging racial tension and undermining 
the moral fiber of all
Americans along with the faith of
the people of the world in the democratic 
ideal. Saying that the
improvement made in limited areas
of human relations was not enough, 
she slated "either we must
attain our democratic goal or the
continuous failure to do so will
destroy our ability. No nation can
withstand the long strain of component 
groups hostile toward each
other."
A part of Tuesday evening's panel 
discussion was broadcast from
9 to 9:45 p. m. throughout the
United States, Hawaii and Alaska
over 280 stations of the American
Broadcasting Company network, as
"America's Town Meeting of the
Air," George V. Denny was moderator. 

Recordings of the entire program 
which began at Hunter College 
at 8:30 p. m. were requested
by the "Voice of America," the International 
Broadcasting Division
of the United States Department
of State, for rebroadcasting to
foreign countries.
The New York College Clubs
sponsoring the symposium with
the Fund were Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Bennington, Connecticut
College, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar and Wellesley.
