I'EPC Measure
WASHNIGTON, June 2—(AP)
_A House Labor Subcommittee
approved today a bill to forbid dis
crimination in employment be
cause of race, COIOKy religion or
nationality. ¢
it would set up a permanent
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission (FEPC).
This is the first part of Presi
dent Truman’s controversial Civil
Rights program to advance in Con
gress as far as subcommittee ap
oroval. It still has a lohg way to
travel—through the full commit
tee, then the House and Senate.
And in the Senate, Southerners
have the powers of filibuster that
have headed off such legislation in
the past.
The bill would put Congress on
record and declaring that:
“The right to employment with
out discrimination because of race,
color, religion, or national origin is
a right of all persons within the
jurisdiction of the United States,
and that it is the national policy to
protect the right of the individual
to be free from such discrimina-

Revenue Issue
ATLANTA, Juse 2 — (AP) —
The State Board of Education was
told today that under Georgia
law county school systems which
seek to increase local revenues are
penalized.
This information came from Dr.
J. I. Allman, assistant state super
intendent of schools. Dr. Allman’s
statement was made when the
board asked him to reply to a let
ter from Kankakee Anderson, su
perintendent of the Polk County
schools. Anderson had asked the
board to give them an answer to
this question: Would the local
system lose administration agd
equalization funds from the state
if it decided to help its self by
raising the valuation of property?
Allman told the board ‘“as the
law is now written counties are
penalized for raising their assess
ed valuation.” He also pointed out
that the more they raised the
“less they got from the state.”
Allman reminded the board,
however, that an increase in local
tax millage does not have ihe
same eifect on reducing state con
tributions to the counties.
At the last meeting of the
board it was ordered that coun
ties who do not levy the maxi
mum mileage under the law for
school purposes cannot share. in
the state’s huge egualization fund.
