Capehart Assures Local Negro Group He'll Back It.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 22.—Sena~ || tor Capehart (R. Ind.) has assured a delegation of. Indiana Negro leaders that he will support a permanent fair employment practice act. Senator Willis (R. Ind.) expressed himself in favor of such.a measure “in principle” and asked the delegation to send him further data on the subject. : Since Rep. Charles M. LaFollette, Evansville, Republican, joined in the introduction of the bill, his vote was certain, he told them. . Rep. Louis Ludlow, Indianapo Democrat, also pledged his support. The other Hoosier Democrat, Rep. Ray Madden, Gary, was out of the city, but his vote also is assured. : . Decline to Comment Other Republican congressmen, who attended a meeting with the delegation in the office of Rep. Raymond Springer, declined to commit themselves in advance. Nor would Rep. Charles ‘A. Halleck, leader of

a state legislative committee, ragweed pollen, which affects sufferers, has been found in the stratosphere and 100 miles at sea. Dr, Getting said that experiments showed that even if Massachusetts were to destroy every bit of ragweed within’ its boundaries, the pollen still would be carred in by the wind from adjacent states.
