Millikin is Puzzled
By Appointment
Washington (AP)— A critic of
fair employment practices legis
lation, Senator Millikin (Rep.,
Colo.), set to work Saturday to
study the problem of racial and
religious discrimination for the
Republicans in the new Senate.
Associates reported Senator
Millikin somewhat puzzled as to
why the Republican Steering
Committee handed him the as
signment in view of his outspoken
opposition to coercive FEPC legis
lation.
The most recent official Repub
lican Party declaration on the
subject was in the 1944 platform,
which declared:
“We pledge the establishment
by Federal legislation of a perma
nent Fair Employment Practice
Commission.”
Senator Millikin plans to con
fine his work to a factual review
of the whole legislative problem.
It will be presented to the full
Republican conference for study,
along with the results of his re
search on the poll tax question.

Job Equality
Widely Backed
Even in South, Majority
So Believes
By Dr. Henry C. Link
(NANA)—Eighty-four per cent
of the Nation believes that giving
Jews and Gentiles, Negroes and
Whites, an equal chance at any
job is good Americanism, accord
ing to a Psychological Barometer
survey.
Men and women from coast to
cost were asked:
"Jews and Gentiles, Negroes
and Whites, all should have an
equal chance at any job: Is that
good Americanism or not?"
The answers were:
Per Cent
Good Americanism 84
Bad Americanism _12
Don't know _ 4
Even by geographic area, the
belief is much the same, although
Southerners are not so strong in
indorsing the idea of equal job
opportunity. This is shown by the
following:
Per cent Per Cent
East Midwest
Good Americanism 90 85
Bad Americanism 6 11
Don't know_ 4 4
Per cent Per Cent
South Far West
Good Americanism ...69 88
