TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, Auguii 8. 1952 Stevenson's Aid Sought for Bill On Discrimination Washington (U.R) Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey and other "liberal" Northern Democrats are trying .to enlist the support of Gov. Adlai Stevenson for their "compromise" bill to end racial discrimination in employ ment, it was learned Friday. Informed sources disclosed that they have forwarded a copy of the proposed legislation to the Democratic presidential nomi nee. They are hopeful that he will endorse it, despite his state ment that anti-discrimination measures are primarily a state responsibility. Initials Battle Cry The bill, approved by the Senate Labor Committee just be fore Congress adjourned, is aim ed at the same goal as President Truman's controversial proposal for a Fair EmDloyment Practices Commission. The sponsors, real izing that the very initials "FEPC" have become a battle cry to' Southern Democrats, have worked out a different approach to the problem. Their measure would set up a seven member board called equality of Opportunity in Em ployment Commission to inves tigate and eliminate employ ment discrimination because of race, color, creed and national origin. After extensive hearings, this board's findings would be en forceable through the courts. But. the courts would have the authority to review the case both as to the law and the facts. Chief distinguishing factor of the Humphrey bill is that it ' would be inoperative in states or ' cities which take "effective action" on their own to end dis crimination in employ m e n t. This provision was designed to answer "states rights" opposition. The bobcat is essentially a hunter, preferring to catch its own prey although not averse to eating dead animals killed by . others. - .
