Oregon's Fair Employment Practices Law Shows Good Results In Its First Year By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM .T OregoD'i year-old fair employment practice! law which guarantees to every citizen that no employer or labor union can discriminate against him because ot his race, religion or ancestry already hai shown big results. This campaign against racial and religious prejudice has only start ed. Oregon was pioneer, being the sixth state to have an FEPC law. The 1949 legislature passed the i law, with only six of the 90 legis lators voting against it. But even many of those who voted for it had deep misgivings about it. They feared that Communists might take advantage by promot ing anti-Negro feeling, inciting Ne groes to make fake complaints. They feared that State Labor Commissioner W. E. Kimsey, who enforces the 1 a w. might be swamped with complaints. These things didn't happen. In fact, in the year that the law ! nas Deen in torce, only 21 persons in the whole state complained they were discriminated against. Six teen of these complained against employers, and five complained against labor unions. Minister Aids Law Kimsey is aided by an advisory committee, representing the var ious minorities, as well as agen cies working toward breaking down prejudice. Kimsey's administrator is Wil liam Van Meter, a 37-year-old Episcopalian clergyman. The committee makes the policy and sets up the educational program. Van Meter enforces the law on Kimsey's behalf, and carries out the committee's policy. If an employer or labor union refuses to obey Kimsey, then he can go to court and get a cir cuit court injunction ordering the guilty employer or union to stop discriminating. If this order isn't obeyed, then a $500 fine can be levied. Actually, the enforcement part is the smallest part of the job. The big task is the educational pro gram being carried on in civic or ganizations, schools, churches, po litical groups, and labor and em ployer organizations. I n Portland, discrimination against Negroes is the main prob lem, Upstate, where few Negroes live, the main problem is discrim ination against Catholics and Jews. Of the 21 cases where discrim ination has been charged. 19 of them involved Negroes. One in volved a Jew, and the other a minister of a religous sect. In addition to the specific cases investigated, there have been far wider results. Negroes Given New Hope One positive result is the hope the law has given to Negroes. Dur ing the past year in Portland, 40 Negroes have been placed in jobs with firms that had refused to hire Negroes. A big chain store in Portland has hired its first Negro. Negro young people now are in terested in training themselves for jobs, because now they see a chance to get jobs. For instance, 4 percent of Portland's Negro high school students plan to go to ' college, compared with the 25 per cent of the entire population which actually goes to college. For instance, a man, from New Mexico and of Spanish-American ancestry, was teaching in a coun try school. His school board said he was doing a fine job.

TO MENTION lUrJPKYrNJG THIRTY YEARS TOO SOON Ethiopian Province Rebels CAIRO tP) Ethiopia's larg est and ricnest province is re ported in revolt against the land taxes and rule of Emperor Hailc Selassie. An informed source reported that aroused peasants in Gojjam province of Northirn Ethiopia had cut the throats of two wealthy dis trict governors. Truckloads of gov ernment troops have been rushed to the province to quell the dis turbances, which broke out late in July. The peasants reponedly feel that health and educatior" facilities in Gojjam are inadequate. The re volt was touched off by the ar rest of some peasants and confis cations of their lands in an ef fort to collect . delinquent land taxes. The province, which formerly had its own dynasty of kings, has been inimical to the centralized government since it was estab lished and the last king of Gojjam was deposed. On his 58th birthday, last July 23, Haile Selassie remitted unpaid land taxes for the years 1942 to day that the men would not be called in the first draft Aug. 30, but that there is "every indication" the local board will be called upon to supply about 18 men after the middle of September.
