McCormick mess* v .Mt ^ N Ml* * < .AIHM I \ < nirsday, July 26, 1945 rjt F. E. P. C. Not Justi fied By Constitu tion, Hare Warns The following .report of Con gressman Butler B. Hare’s speech on the F.* E. P. C. Bill, delivered in the House of Representatives on July 10, was carried in the newspapers on the following day, July 11: Maintaining that Congress has no right to tell the American cit- izsn whom he shall employ in his own business, Congressman Butler B. Hare of the third South Caro lina district warned Congress to day that establisment of a per manent Fair Employment Prac tices Commission cannot be justi fied by any provision of the Con stitution of the United States. Ebcpressing his opposition in a rpeech on the House floor the South Carolinian said he opposed H. R. 2232, a bill to create the per manent organization, because its passage would violate nearly every specific concept embodied in our system of government. Hare quoted provisions of thej bill which defines what employ ment practices would be termed | "“unfair”. He pointed out that the bill pro vided that it would be an unfair employment practice if the em ployer should refuse to hire any fndividual because of such indi vidual’s race, creed, color, nation al origin or ancestry. In the sec ond, place, it would be unfair for an employer to discharge from employment any individual for the same reasons. He also cited the provision of ■•he bill which states that it shall be an unfair employment practice for any labor union to deny full membership or expel from mem bership any individual because of race, creed, color, etc. * "It will be observed that the proposal makes no difference be tween ‘employers’, said Hare. “That is, the law applies with e- qual force and effect to all em ployers, regardless of the field of service in which they are operat ing. It will apply to the employer in an industrial plant, the em ployer in a department store, the banker, the merchant, the grocer, the filling station operator, the trustees of public schools, col leges, universities, including the person or board who employes in structors in private schools, hos pitals, parochial schools, etc. I think I am saying that religious freedom is one of the outstanding freedoms guaranteed to American people under our Constitution and cne which has been jealously guarded by our system of govern ment up to date, but I am won- dsrtng whether it would be a vio- -atton of, the Constitution, which guarantees religious freedom, to require the employer or the em ployment agency in our parochial schools, seminaries and other church institutions to employ per- rons who may have a different religious creed. To me, the bill on its face, appears to be perfectly rbsurd.” ^ Illustrating how the law would operate, Mr. Hare said, “suppose that Mr. John Doe, for example, owns and operates a textile plant or garment factory in South Caro lina, Massachusetts or any other state, and suppose a person of color calls upon Mr. Doe and makes- a request for employment, raying that he is able and qual ified to fill the job efficiently. If Mr. Doe, for any reason, says he is not in position to offer him a job the applicant could then file complaint with the commission, alleging that he had been dis criminated against because of color. The commission would then have authority, after taking testi mony, to direct Mr. Doe to admit and give employment to the ap plicant, and should Mr. Doe re fuse, he would then be subject to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Congressman Hare said he did not know to what extent the law by enforced, but declared he convinced if this proposal is enacted into law and an effort is made to enforce the provisions as they appear in the proposal, it would take one-half or more of the present armed forces to enforce them. “I do not believe the Am erican people have decided they are going to turn the enforcement of personal and civil rights over to our Federal government,” said Mr. Hare. "We should remember that the people of this country have sev eral kinds of rights.

Could Hardly Eat, Sleep Or Do Her Housework. “I have used Retonga as need ed during the past five years, and I have felt better during this time than in many years past,” happily states Mrs. Ida Eatherly, well known resident of 317 S. 7th St., Clarksville, Tenn. “Hardly a day passed that 1 didn’t suffer tortures from ner vous indigestion,” continued Mrs. Eatherly. “My appetite was gone and what little I forced myself to eat caused so much gas and full ness in my stomach that some times I had to gasp for breath. My head often ached until I felt like it would split. I had to take drastic purgatives for sluggish elimination, I slept so poorly that I woke up every morning feeling tired and draggy, and I was many pounds underweight. I could not get through my housework with out stopping to rest. “Retonga gave me wonderful relief after everything else I tried MRS. IDA EATHERLY i had failed. I eat anything, I soon regained all my lost weight, and I sleep splendidly. I began looking and feeling so much bet ter that my friends hardly knew me. Retonga has been my stand by ever since. I am always prais ing it.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l defi ciency, * constipation, insufficient flow of digestive juices in the stomach, and loss of appetite. Thousands praise it. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be ob tained at Peoples Drug Store. — Adv. what we refer to as constitutional rights, and we have what we re fer to as legal rights under the constitution, all of which are en forced by our constitution. Then we have what we call civil rights —rights common to all persons— and it has been decided time and time again that the jurisdiction over civil rights is limited and that no power to regulate them has been lodged in Congress. “The right to work and estab lish a business of his own is a civil right that belongs to every American citizen, white or black, Jew or Gentile; he is under no obligation to employ anyone. How ever, if he elects to do so, he has the right to employ men only, women only, white men only, col ored men only, red-haired women only, bald-headed men only, and he violates no law when he exer cises his choice and thereby dis criminates against * all other classes in the matter and this Con gress has no right to tell that Am erican citizen whom he shall em ploy in his own business. many people he shall employ or whether he shall employ anyone r or whether he shall employ an equal number of men and women, or whether one-fourth of them shall be white or colored, or whether any percentage shall be white or colored, or whether any percentage shall adhere to a par ticular creed or spring from any particular ancestry, or wh ther any percentage shall be cf any particular national origin.” “America’s No. 1 task af -r the war is to provide maximur em ployment and large produc. i >n of farm and industrial goods. 1 , will be necessary to find new nr.kets; new products to manufactu i and sell.” — Southern Agricultu:. .t. “Labor income per farm in cot ton production was more than three times as much on farms with yields 30 per cent above average as it was on farms with yields 30 per cent below average.” — Dr. G.

Steps have been taken by OPA to equalize egg prices charged by retail route sellers with communi ty dollar-and-cent prices charged in stores, it was announced yes terday by OPA District Director Talbert in Columbia. Formerly, mark-ups on eggs sold by retail route sellers, producers and all sellers except retail stores, were based on current prices. These sellers will not apply their mark-ups to the preceding week’s prices, the same method used in establishing community dollar-and cent prices, Mr. Talbert said. The new pricing methods are in tended to apply primarily to pro cessors and wholesalers of eggs and egg products. Commercial Tires. Dollar-and-cent ceiling prices have been established for sales by the Department of Commerce of 10,857 used airplane tires as sur plus property it has been revealed by OPA District Director E. H. Tal bert. He said that the tires, while no longer considered safe for use on Army planes, can be converted for use on such ground vehicles as farm implements and other farm equipment. The Department of Commerce will not sell any of the current batch of tires direct to individual farmers or other consumers, but will make sales only to distributors for resale. Passenger Tire Eligibility. Regulations governing the eligi bility of motorists for Grade I pas senger tires have been readjusted, it was announced in Columbia by OPA District Director E. H. Tal bert. In the future, motorists using their cars for a bona , fide change of residence for which they have been issued special gasoline ra tions, will be eligible for the cer tificates. Mr. Talbert said the change was designed primarily for the follow ing three groups: 1— War workers moving from one city to another as production shifts from one type of war goods to another or shifts to civilian commodities. 2— Members of the armed forces moving to a new post. 3— Discharged veterans return ing home or moving to another city to accept a job. Formerly, Mr. Talbert said, is suance of new tire certificates was limited largely to persons holding supplemental gasoline rations. The new provision will bridge this gap in the regulations, Mr. Talbert ad ded. Low-Cost Clothing.

Rich in vitamin C, and the tangy flavor and brilliant red col or that add zest to winter meals, tomatoes are easiest of all vege tables to can—and the only com mon garden vegetables that do not require a pressure canner. Can tomatoes by the boiling wa ter bath method. Here are im portant points to remember in to mato canning: Look over every tomato, and us 3 only the ripe, firm and perfect. Even when a bad spot is cut out, bacteria may lurk behind to ruin the whole batch. Get ready only enough tomatoes for one canner load at a time. Handle them gently so they will not bruise, and wash in several waters. To make peeling easy, put to matoes in a wire basket or thin cloth, dip into boiling water a minute, then plunge into cold water. Cut out stem ends and peel. Quarter the tomatoes so they will heat through quickly. Heat tomatoes in their own juice, stirring tp prevent sticking and burning. Let them come to a rolling boil. In the meantime, get clean jars and lids heated and ready. Fill one jar at a time with hot tomatoes. Cover with hot juice to within 1-2 inch of top. Work rap idly, so tomatoes will not cool. Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart. Work out air bubbles by easing a knife blade down jar sides. Add more juice if needed. Wipe jar rim with a clean damp cloth. Adjust jar top according to di rections for its type. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Finish sealing, if type of lid re quires. Cool jars overnight, right side up and away from drafts.

Returning vet erans will strengthen both the pro- essiona] and the college teams, he •ays. The Army and Navy teams, lowever, are expected to domi- late the college game for another rear at least. Professional teams »re facing increased competition .rom the new leagues, and are in ancertain shape financially. Golf Is a serious game, writes Bernard Darwin in his biography J. H. Taylor, one of the great- 2st Of Old time golfers. Taylor’s philosophy of the game is ex pressed in this paragraph: “I like to see a player settle down to his iob with determination, and I have little patience with those who en ter upon it in the spirit of a picnic, ro try to play golf really well is ar from being a joke, and light heartedness of endeavor is a sure sign of failure.” It might be commented that Taylor was a professional, who made a tidy sum in prizes and other ways for many years. He won the British Open five times, for Instance. If the game isn’t meant to be any fun, it is a wonder so many people keep trying to play it like they enjoyed it. Out in the Pacific Northwest foot ball coaches live long and stay at their jobs year after year, good seasons or bad. Fifteen of the Pacific Northwest mentors have been at the same college for 15 or more years. Tops is J. Fred Bohler of Washington State ... he has served for 37 years, man and boy. Two others have hung on for 30 years. The hard part of a coach’s job is the season with few or no victories, when the alumni yell for the coach’s scalp. It takes cour age and luck to ride out the storm. The owner of the Boston Braves, Louis Perrini, believes that ball parks will install escalators to car ry the customers to the upper lev els . . . thus the fans would lose out on the little bit of exercise they now get climbing the ramps.
