Ike Still Against
Tough FEP

Washington ~President Eisenhower Wednesday reaffirmed his
opposition to compuisory Fair
Employment Practices law.

The Fresident was askel whether the/}letter of Secretary of
Labor strong FEPC law reflected the Position of his administraition. = - ||
He replied: that while he bez
| lieves Mitchell has a right to his
personal) opinion, and that he. ad/mired ~Mitchell~s courage, he

| (2isenhdwer) ~does not feel that
| anything can be accomplished by
| punitive | or compulsory measures.
| The President also read a leng| thy prepared statement condemn'ing methods of opposing Com-!munism| which do not conform
| to the American sense of justice
| and fail} play. ~

| Although he did not name Sen.
| Joseph McCarthy, it~ was obvious
| that the statement referred..o
| him. Eisenhower did not mention
| Mrs. Annie Lee Moss,.the federal
empolyee around whom the latest
fight is) raging, between McCarthy and the -Army.

Mrs. |Moss, ~who is too ill to
festify, has been fired from her
job since McCarthy charged that

i} t:
she has| been a. card carrying
communist.

Woodcock Asks
For FEPC Bill

Testifying before the Michigan
'Senate~s State Affairs committee
~last week, Leonard Woodcock,
| director | of UAW-CIO~s Region

| 14D, urged that the committee
lreport out and the legislature
jenact a|fair employment - prac
|tices bill|similar to those already
|in existence in eleven states of
| the union.

Woodepck emphasized that the
| existence| of racial discrimination
vin the United States is the great| ast stony ing away from the basic
| princip! les on which the nation is
| founded jand is:a threat to the
icontinued free world coalition of
{which the U.S. | is leader. He
pointed gut that since ~America
\is head if a coalition of free and
jéqual. nations its leadership can
only be founded on moral grounds

and that elimination of
employment practices in Michigan would contribute -to our

moral strengthening.
He emphasized that both major
parties in Michigan had promised

the votefs this legislation and
that _Prdsident Eisenhower had
pledged | that this action would be

taken at] the state level although
lye. opposed it at the federal level.
Woodcock questioned why decent
men who would = not dream. of
breaking} their words as individuals should consider political fromises absolutely worthless ~ and.|madé simple to be broken.

He quoted statistics from the

ifiles of |the Michigan Employiment | |Securities ~ Commission
which showed that. employment;

|discrimination based on race was
{growing | ~and that even in areas
igsuch as) central Detroit where the
Neonk folce is more than onehalf non-white employment reiquests were overwhelmingly for
lwhite werkers only. This, he
isaid, makes infinitely worse the
social problems of slums, crime
~and disegse.
' Other |witnesses were - presentied from the Michigan Civil Rights
~Comittee iby Monsignor Bukowski
~of the Raman Catholic diocese of
Grand maids.
