j FEPC 'Hot Potato'
"In Taft Eisenhower
Nomination Battle
By LYLE C. 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.

West Salem Blast
Believed Caused
By Leaking Gas
Salem (U.R) One man was
Injured when a terrific explo
sion in West Salem demolished
a barbershop and heavy saw out
fit in a. building along the busy
main street through West Sa
lem Monday.
Capt. Clyde Buckholtz of the
Salem fire department said the
injured man apparently lit a cig
arette which touched off leaking
gas. He was treated by Salem
city first aid men.
Four Stores Damaged
The explosion blew out 150
feet of the building and heavily
damaged machinery and equip
ment inside. The force of the
blast damaged four stores across
the street, Capt. Buckholtz said.
The injured man was Holland
Tangeman, ,62, Independence,
who was taken to Salem Memor
ial hospital with a broken nose
and a possible broken back.
Situation In Hand
Capt, Buckholtz said the gas
was not immediately turned off,
as it was safer to have it burn
ing under control, than to shut
off the source and let it accumu
late. He said firemen had the
situation in hand and traffic
again was going through on the
route which is a section of the
Salem-Dallas route.
