* /
Washington, March 10--(AXPi - ,
With the niorr.lt' ol' tlu> office force j
at a low state, anil the members of '
the committee itself perturbed ov- t
ei the present condition, the three i
member's of the FEPC w o met on
Monday addressed a very strong i
letter to President Roosevelt, ex-!
pressing -entire dcssatisfactrrnf r.'t I
the manner in which Prul V. Me- !
Nutt has handled the. affairs of I
that organization recently.
Present and presiding was Earl )
fhiekerstrrrr with him. Jolm Bvophy '
of the CIO r'nd Moni.s Shiskin of the
AFL were the othri?members.
Ethcridge. the chair/nan, was ah- (
sent as was Milton Webster.
Feeling that the president has
descxteiLtlio-group in the crXii-.
to do hut express their sentiment
to the man who originated ttu~~
idea of the committee.
With only routine work proceed
dig m the office, no policies es-J
trblished. no routines established ;
whereby the committee will be ah- [
-4e?to so?its. way eleai?tu do an '
effectivo job, there is little reason
u expect anything extent cligust |
and dissension. Some have said
this wiil.lv the policy el .the power-;
that be. to let the miimiitteo die
, A n: lurnl ,death unnoticed and unheeded.
The recent mi cling of "leaders"
from all over the country is beingconsidered
more o.r loss a political
g:st". re to soften tile blow. It is
t frit jn high places that nothing
twill come of his meeting, no matter
what lias boon promise**!.
A similar cast? is pointed out in
Maryland, where about a v : ago
there was a "March on Annapolis"
Two thousand Negroes laid their,
ei iv?awes?orr The governor's?dom*--'
st"p. Tie promised to "look into all
of the complaints." Election Lime
was drawing- near and some excuse
had to be man'e. Mnc' t hen. Tin i e
iias been nothing heard of "he
committee, appointed by the gov- 1
rimr to investigate the charges.
FEPC is n -similar spot. No one
seems to know what to do. The original
sponsors have deserted the
group, leaving the entire matter
in the hands of underlings who arc
tonstrntly under fire and taking
.1 severe going over because of
their failure to comprehend the
^'itnnlieni^Qii- attempt i*> do ai-.vthing
about it.
This FEPC i> of vital interest to |
every member of a minority group.I
in the United States end the manhandling
of that organization may j
be seen as the handwriting ?>n the ;
wall as far as liberalism toward ;
minority groups is concerned.
The contents of the letter to the ,
president were not revealed, but :
it is known that a careful reading ,
would show a complete dissatisfae- j
