Washington July 1 AP FEPC was moneyless and moribund as backers sought to bypass the House rules committee for a financial infusion. A Senate compromise of 250000 for the year faltered in the House amid Southern opposition, leaving FEPC blocked while other agencies gained temporary funding under a separate bill.
