President Rejects Plan To Put FEPC On Voluntary Basis
Washington AP President Truman rejected proposals that a fair Employment Practices Commission be established on a voluntary compliance basis. Southern opposition blocks Senate action on compulsory FEPC, which would prohibit job discrimination based on race creed color or national origin. Some lawmakers pressed for a voluntary compromise but the President said no. The FEPC bill is a key civil rights commitment, opposed by Southern Democrats who risked losing four electoral votes in 1948. Senate action on a large foreign aid bill and other measures loomed, with forecasts of a close vote as Republicans sought changes. The session included debates over Marshell Plan funding, military training facilities, and tax reform considerations.

Gold Spy Trap Sets Two Months Earlier
Senate committee chair Oliver M. W. McMahon disclosed that the FBI set the trap two months ago for Philadelphia biochemist Harry Gold. Authorities say Gold received secret atomic information from Fuchs and passed it to the Russians, with the trail leading to chemists in New York and Philadelphia. Fuchs was recently sentenced in Britain for stealing atomic secrets. The investigation initially listed 2,300 suspects and later narrowed to 1,200 potential contacts. Gold was arraigned in Philadelphia and jailed on a $100,900 bond.
