WILSON Washington (U.PJ Civil rights is the issue which the major parties most often are ac cused of playing politics at the expense of human dignity. The hottest civil rights pota to is a compulsory Fair Employ ment Practices Commission pro gram which has large appeal to Negro and some other racial groups throughout the nation. Compulsory FEPC is cursed? by white Southerners. . Wants Ik on Record It is one of the issues about which Sen. Robert A. Taft has been most eager to get Genf Dwlght D. Eisenhower on the record. "If he takes a position against it," Taft recently said, referr ing to Eisenhower, "he loses votes in the North. If he comes out for it, which is the position of most of his supporters, he loses Southern support and has n't a chance to carry the South." This significant observation was Taft's recognition of Eis enhower's great potential strength In the South. The gen eral might carry several South ern states as a Republican pres idential candidate. Taft's South ern prospects generally are counted less bright. Eisenhower's Stand . - A Four weeks from now the Re publican National Convention will meet to choose first be tween Taft and Eisenhower for president. Both are now on rec ord on FEPC under similar cir cumstances. Eisenhower put it this way when asked ' about FEPC in his Abilene news con ference: "The FEPC: When you use those initials you are proposing as I see it, a sort of shotgun question, because there are many things involved in it. I have no objection to stating my unchangable, my unalterable support of fairness and equal ity among all types of Ameri can citizens. "But I believe that insofar as the federal government has any influence or any constitu tional authority in this field, all of . its policies should adhere firmly, and without any kind of equivocation or evasion to that . principle. Laws Not Answer "I do not believe we can cure all the evils in men's hearts by law and when you get to compulsory action in certain specific phases of this thing I really believe we can do more by leadership in getting states to do it than to make it a fed eral compulsory thing. "And this I say with the ut-' most sympathy for anyone who feels himself to be a member of ' a group that has been de pressed or unfairly treated. And I'll say this: So far as my own personal influence can extend in this country, I shall never cease to Tight, for it. I believe thoroughly in the things I have said." The Department of Commerce reports that retail drug store sales for 1951 reached a total of $4,478,000,000. Critical Condition Doesn't Tell Story Bismarck, N. D. (U.R) A hospital here got a call from a man who wanted to learn the condition of a patient. "He's in critical condition," the attendant said. "But aside from that, he's all right, isn't he?" the caller asked US Supreme Court Agrees Jo Study School Segregation Washington (U.R) The Su preme Court agreed Monday to decide whether states may re quire separate schools for white and Negro children. The high bench accepted for review at its next term two cas es challenging the segregated school systems in Topeka, Kan., and Clarendon county, S C. The issue, a hot one in the South, is not likely to be decided before the November elections because arguments will not be heard until mid-October. Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, a former Su preme Court justice has said his state may do away with its pub lic school system altogether if Negro parents win their -fight to outlaw segregation. Both of Monday's cases were started by Negro parent groups supported by the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People. They contend that segregation is a badge of inequality and denies their chil dren the "equal protection of the laws" guaranteed in the constitution.
