To All Armed Forces by Truman Graduate Courses

“4.,
President Truman late Monday ordered an end to (racial
“discrimination,” in the armed forces and established a FEPC
for eveiry government agency.
Truman’s new assault on the segregation policies of the
South came just two hours after nineteen Southern Senators ann ounced.
The J Veterans Administration
has approved a contract with the
College) ‘whereby costs o^ corres-

called civil rights bills during the
special session.
Under the terms of the Presi
dential order, employment in gov
ernment offices in Bryan, College
Station, anfl cities all over the
South wjouljl be on a strictly “non-
discrimijiatory” basis. Under this
program there can be no racial or
color qualification on; employment
1 anywhere in the Federal Govern-
J ment.
In this action on the armed
force the President accepted the
dare of speakers at the recent
Progressive party convention in
Philadelphia.
[Negro Keynoier Charles P.
Howard of Des Moines, Iowa, said
ip his address that Truman could,
by the stroke of his pen, wipe out
all racipl segregation in the sery-
idrt. , 4, !
The hew bid for minority votes
of northern and eastern areas
was certain to bring a wave of
justifiable reaction both from
1 1
Republicans and Southern Demo
crats during the
new congres
sional term.
Just Monday, Rep. John Rankin
(Dem.) of Mississippi, had called
upon the President and Gov.
Thpmas ;E. Dewey, the GOP Presi
dential nominee, to debate FEPC.
Rankin contended neither could
make a I good case for it.

The 7-man advisory committee
on armed forces equality is au
thorized to determine what
changes in army, navy and Air

to make his new policy effec

The H
juse had previously thrown
out ant -segregation amendments
to the draft law which had been
introduced by Leftwinger Rep.
Vito " ' .
Majrcantonio of New York.
Senior Senator Tom Connally of
Texas was the first Southern lead
er to comment on the President’s
new orders.
“I am vigorously opposed] to end
ing segregation in the j armed
forces and to the FEPC order for
government agencies,” skid the
Senator.
“The President has been in
fluenced to take a radical and
unheard-of course. I am greatly
disturbed.”
Another Texan, Rep. Efd Gos
sett of Wichita Falls, a lejader of
the House southern opposition to
President Truman’s civil! rights
program, called the orders “just
a cheap political trick.”
The nineteen Dixie Senators
earlier had mapped filibuster arid

These ; studies are designed for
students who have graduated in
engineering, agriculture, science,
or veterinary medicine, Faires
said. They deal with history, eco
nomics, literature, philosophy, psy
chology, sociology, political eco
nomy,Ikind foreign policy.
Graduates of A&M with two
years! ih residence for first B. S,
degree are eligible for another, de
gree, Bachelor of Philosophy, Fai
res sii'id only A&M makes this of
fer to graduates.
The|j|eason for this special pro*
gram, Faires explained, is to give
graduates an opportunity to im
prove their general i education.
“Since industry and business are
eager to have men with a broad
outlook;” Faires said, “we expect
this program eventually to give
the A&M graduate a preferred
position.” |
Only a limited number of enroll
ments can be accepted at this time
because of a limited capacity for
presenting correspondence courses,
Faires points out.
Stujdants who are graduating
this summer, and who do not have
the material, may get the descrip
tions of courses now ready in the
