Truman Again Going On Tour With FEPC Deadlock
The House rules committee split 6 to 6, blocking the Fair Employment Practices Commission bill for a vote. Chair Sabath called the result unfortunate and indicated Speaker Rayburn may bring the measure up next week by an alternative method. Farther details show a mixed party vote with four Democrats and two Republicans for FEPC action, and four Democrats and two Republicans against. The bill would outlaw employment discrimination based on race, color, or creed.
