C, — The NA ACP hailed the action of the Sen ate Education and Labor Commit- itei in favorably reporting S. 101. ;the Chavez-Aiken Permanent F- 'EPC bill. The vote came on the heels of an effort by Senator ICIaude Pepper (D., Fla.) to work jout a compromise which would jsatisfy southern members of the Committee who threaten a fili buster. It is reported that th ; pro posed compromise involved the substitition of S. 459, the Taft P- EPC study Commission Bill, for that of the Chavez BUI, which actually has “teeth” in it. Working to beat off any com promise which would weaken the bill, Leslie Perry of the Washing ton Bureau. NAACP. told Senator Pepper that ‘employment dis- criminaiion has bc^n adequately studied” and the enactment into law of tho Taft Bill would “only be a snare and a delusion so far as minority groups are concern ed." I Other members of the Commil- |tee known to have been friendly to the bill were further urged to give '‘uncompromising support” :to the Chavez-Aiken bill I Committee Members voted on ‘the FEPC bill as follows: FOR— 'George D.
