FEPC vote splits Congress amid cautious outlook
A 240 to 177 House vote backed a voluntary fair employment practice bill, with Southern Democrats and Republicans opposing the compulsory police state version. The Senate filibuster clouds enactment this session. The House plan creates a five member Commission able to subpoena but not compel compliance. Opponents warn of bureaucratic oversight replacing employer judgment. Also notes a new Department of Agriculture cookbook Family Fare offering 200 recipes and guidance on nutrition and meals.
