House Passes FEPC; Bill Now In Senate
By a vote of 89 to 14 the Kansas house of representatives passed the Fair Employment Practice commission bill March 16.
This bill has been sent to the senate, where it will be considered by a committee before it reaches the floor.
Under the bill the governor would appoint a five-member commission to establish occupational requirements. Employers accused of discriminating for reasons of race, color, or national origin would be compelled to defend themselves before the commission.
Terming the bill "most vicious and damnable," Metz said that it would be a police club over the head of Kansas businessmen.
The bill contains no definite provisions for punishment of those who fail to comply. In the house debate only Rep. Theodore M. Metz, Lincoln county, spoke against the measure.
"Under the bill the employer would put his business on the altar of a commission in Topeka which would tell him how to run his affairs," he said.
"They say this is innocent and carries no penalties, but it takes over your personal liberty and makes you a servant of the government," he argued. "This is New Deal legislation."
A motion to table Metz's motion to strike out the bill was passed overwhelmingly.
In reply, Rep. Myles Stevens, Wyandotte county sponsor of the measure, said, "This is not New Deal legislation. The first governor to sponsor it was Thomas E. Dewey of Washington."
New York, certainly a Republican law has worked well in New York and it will work well in Kansas."
Representative Stevens pointed out that Gov. Frank Carlson's commission on racial discrimination had reported evidence of abuse in Kansas.

MacArthur has said that he would not send his forces across if there are any "reasonable possibility" of limitations being placed on crossing the border. Some quarters here believe MacArthur will conclude there is no objection to his crossing the frontier if the UN takes no action soon.
Although Britain has been pictured as opposed to a new crossing of the parallel, Lt. Gen. Sir Horace Robertson, commander of British Commonwealth forces, said he has not received orders not to go north of it.
Meanwhile United Nations spearheads jabbed close to Korea's 38th parallel today amid signs that Red armies are pulling out of South Korea altogether.
Several patrol clashes were reported in the central sector around Hangye, only 13 miles south of the parallel, but censorship cloaked details of other Allied thrusts along the 140-mile front.
An Eighth army spokesman disclosed that UN forces have established new "holding positions" 17 miles from the 38th parallel—old border between North and South Korea—and sent patrols "miles" farther north.
Tank-led patrols seeking out the enemy met only scattered light resistance from Communist rear guards covering the withdrawal of 200,000 Chinese and Korean Reds.
Intelligence reports indicated the Communists have abandoned Chunchon, seven and a half miles south of the parallel and their last major base in South Korea, in a retreat into new defenses just north of the frontier.
Other patrol clashes with Communist rear guards were reported around Hangye, 10 miles northeast of Hongchon and 13 miles south of the 38th parallel, and farther east above Pungam.
New York — (U.P.) — The Daily Worker, Communist party newspaper, admitted today it was on the brink of bankruptcy.
On the western front, an American armored patrol ran into enemy rear guards today south of Uijongbu. 10 miles north of Seul.
But few details of the patrol thrusts were cleared by censors. An eight army spokesman partly lifted a 72-hour security blackout on "operation pursuit" to announce that UN forces have established "holding positions" within 17 miles of the parallel at five points.
Daily Worker Admits Near Bankruptcy
in a front page editorial the Worker said it was running at an annual loss of $200,000. It appealed to its "readers and friends" to contribute about $5 each.
The Worker editorial blamed its financial situation on a "decline in circulation" and "harassment of our advertisers."
