THERE EXISTS no authority under either the Constitution of the United States or the laws enacted by Congress for the President to issue executive or de r s establishing enforceable criteria for hiring and firing in the field of private employment. The Fourteenth Amendment it self says it must be implemented by Congress and Congress on three separate occasions has de feated proposed FEPC legisla tion. At a time when our free en terprise economy needs all the strengthening and encourage ment it can be given, it is a grave disservice to the economic welfare of the United States to attempt to impose upon it the political burden of implementing a partisan viewpoint of human relations. Such coercive use of federal contracts to inject the Federal Government into the de termination of the employer-em ployee relationship gives further substance to fears that federal controls inevitably follow fed eral dollars in all fields in which they are spent.
