*1 ' PORTLAND INQUIRER Pace 8 PERMANENT F. E. P. C. PORTLAND ROCKETS B L O C K E D BY vs. LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATS MUSTANGS Democrats Fail Negro on The Portland “Rockets” played Eve of Elec ton the Los Angeles “Mustangs” at NEW YORK — Representative Mary T. Norton (Dem. N.J.) chair man of the House Labor committee, announced last week on Thursday that all consideration and any fur ther hearings of the bill making the Fair Employment Practices Committee a permanent govern ment agency will be suspended un til after election. Dr. C. B. Powell, Assistant Di rector of Publicity of the Republi can National committee said: “Mrs. Norton’s stand is in keeping with her refusal, as vice-chairman of the Resolutions Committee at the Democratic National convention in Chicago, to approve and incorpo rate a plank in the Democratic platform pledging support in Con gress for permanent FEPC legis lation. This was done in the face of strong representation before her committee by Walter White of the NAACP, and the Rev. Maynard Jackson of Texas, representing 25 national organizations with mem berships of four million; Edgard G. Brown, director of the National Ne gro Council; Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr.; Bishop James A. Bray and the Rev. A. J Carey.” Mrs. Norton is a Democrat and the majority of the members of the House Labor Committee are Demo crats. “Put to the first test of their good faith with Negroes,” Dr. Powell further stated, “the Demo crats have failed. If they cannot be trusted on the eve of election, the Negro voters certainly can put no confidence in them after elec tion. They had their chance in Con gress last week when this commit tee met, to hasten the protection of the Negro’s right to work without racial discrimination. They refused to act now and brazeniy made pub lic their refusal.” While Mrs. Norton and the Dem ocratic Party adroitly by-passed ac tion on the FEPC, the Republican party has given complete assurance of its stand by pledging the enact ment of such permanent fair em ployment practices legislation in a plank definitely incorporated in the Republican National platform.
