(Op) —Presidfnt Truman was told today he had better get Congressional approval for any plan to set up a Fair Employment Practices Com mission (FEPC). Southern legislators are likely to block such approval, as they have done In the past. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D., Minn., proposed that Mr. Truman bypass Congress and create an (FEPC) by executive order as Pres ident Roosevelt did during World War 11. But Sen. Richard B. Russell,-D., Ga., leader of the Southern Bloc fighting “civil rights” legislation, said there already had been too much criticism that the President has invaded the perogatives of Congress. “I hope that the President will not take any action in so important a mater without legislative author ization,” Russell said, ments: OTHER CONGRESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS President Truman asked for un precedented tax increases to bal ance a fiscal 1952 budget expected to be at least $70,000,000,000.

The item involved was an emergency approp riation of $41,342 from the contin gency and emergency fund to keep the state civil defense council going until June 30 when it is expected a permanent appropriation will be come effective. The unusual feature of the discussion was that the meas ure was sponsored and defended by Representatives Larry Moore and Eugene Boat, chairman of the ap propriations and finance committees, and was opposed by Representative Robert Kiser cf Scotland, one of last session’s chief spenders, along with Reps. Dave Henderson of Meck lenburg and Marlon Parrott of Lenoir, among the youngest mem bers of the house and therefore not regarded as quite so conservative.

In the past three years, the disease has stricken more than 100,000 people and cost the National Foun dation for Infantfle Paralysis $58,000,000 for patient-care alone. The Rev. Joyce V. Early, Harnett County director of the campaign, has announced that he and his volunteer community chairmen over the county expect to raise SIO,OOO during the two weeks of the drive. The campaign ends Jan. 31. NEED IS GREATEST “The need confronting us,” Mr. Early satd, "is the greatest in the history of our 13-year-old battle against polio. The costs of the last three tragic polio years have left the National Foundation’s epidemic aid funds exhausted. “Many thousands of men, women and children left crippled by past epidemics depend upon the March of Dimes for a fighting chance to achieve some degree of normalcy. And we must face the Inevitable utbreaks, somewhere in the country, in 1951, with their unknown number of new patients.” Reviewing last year’s accomplish ments of the National Fqmdation, Mr. Early estimated that caring for polio patients in 1950 when well over 30,000 people were stricken cost the. National Foundation ap proximately $20,000,000, with millionsi in unpaid bills still remaining.

He warned newsmen in an ex planatory conference that the spending figure might go even higher and that he is determined to balance tne budget even if It means boosting taxes by $20,000,000,- 000. Never before has any any ad ministration sought taxes to balance a budget of such magnitude. In this budget message. Mr. Tru man returned to several of his for mer programs which he had passed over or ignored in earlier communi cations to the new 82nd Congress, He recommended legislation to create a Fair Employment Practices Commission to prevent discrimina tion .in employment against min ority groups. He revived the. Brannan Plan by proposing direct money subsidies to producers if pershable foods instead of market price supports. Mr. Truman again proposed a start on a compulsory medical in surance program by proposing a one-fourth of one per cent payroll tax on employer and employe to set up the machinery for such a plan. He estimated this would yield $275,000,000.
