VICTIM of a vicious child crime, according to authorities, the violated body of six-year-old Hazel Laurie, was found in an abandoned Ice box in the yard of her apartment house home at SpringHeld, Mass. The 14-ycar-old brother of the little girl, Earl Laurie, confessed he had attacked the child in the cellar of their home and then, finding her an hour and a half later curled inside the unused ice box, slammed shut the door, according to Police Chief R. P. Gallagher. (International)
LEGISLATIVE MOVES are underway in Washington to change the presidential succession, designed to elevate the speaker of the House as next In line after the president and vice president. The suggestion, which If acted upon by Congress would put Speaker Sam Rayburn, above, In line for the presidency, was made by President Truman. The proposal does away with the cabinet succession, wherein the president has the power to nominate his successor to a cabinet post, thus paving the way for his elevation to the highest office.

WASHINGTON, July 2.— (UP)—-The congressional wrangle over the Fair Employment Practice Committee raged anew in the House today as supporters of the agency threatened to block a summer recess until funds are provided for its reviv-
al.
The FEPC was technically dead as of midnight Saturday when Southern Democratic House members objected to adding a last minute Senate-approv-ed $250,000 for the agency to the 1946 war agencies appropiiations bill. FEPC proponents pinned their faint hopes on two possible courses of action: 1. That the House rules committee would approve a resolution to send the war agencies bill to a Senate-House conference committee to settle the FEPC dispute. 2. That in event of failure of the rules committee to act favorably, the House appropriations committee would redraft the bill to include FEPC funds. The rules committee, loaded with southern Democrats, has refused consistently to send any kind of FEPC legislation to the floor. The most offered by the appropriations committee was M25,U00 to liquidate the agency after previously turning thumbs down on any new fund. While FEPC funds are only a drop in the bucket of the $771. 000,000 bill to operate war agencies for the year beginning
600.000,000 second deficiency bill —approved shortly before the midnight deadline—that when an appropriation had been agreed to by both houses an agency could continue spending funds pending final approval. In this bill FEPC is the only agency not approved by both
houses.
Meanwhile in late Saturday session both houses rushed to completion all other “must” legislation, leaving no other important bills pending on the docket of either house. The Senate today tidied up to hear President iruman, in a scheduled personal appeatlincc. urge approval of the world security conference charter. Then it prepared to sit back and wait lor the House to untangle the FEPC knot. Although it was possible for the legislative battle over FEPC to roar on for weeks, administration leaders said they hoped to be able to settle it this week to give members a well earned rest. Proponents of the agency insisted, however, that they would carry on the fight as long as necessary to get funds approved “I don’t believe in summer recesses anyway,” one supporter declared. He said FEPC friends would make every effort to block a recess until Congress revived the agency. Southern Democrats were equally determined to fight on until as one member said—“we are not only sure that FEPC is dead, but will stay dead.”
No matter what happens to FEPC, Congress will have somewhat belatedly wound up one financial year and provided approximately $59,500,000,000 for a new one. This is $7,500,000,000 less than the funds appropriated to run the government during the fiscal year just ended.

, Special to Central Press • WASHINGTON—Unemployment Is only one of the fears gripping normally outside the country’s labor force, return to their homes. The bie CIO United Automobile Workers’ union, headed by R. J. Thomas, is a graphic example of this. The UAW, which during the war gained a membership of more than a million, already has lost heavily due to early cutbacks. Now Thomas foresees the possible loss of 300,000 members—workers who migrated to Detroit from the textile regions of the south and other areas, attracted by the lure of highly paid manufacturing jobs. Thomas Insists that Detroit can permanently absorb these workers and that they must not be forced to return to their old low wage occupations. Industry and government officials are not at all sure, however, that the automobile and other industries can expand peace-time operations to the point of giving permanent employment to the
extra 300,000.

Such a man, Ramspeck told the president, should receive “at least $25,000 a year.” And, said Ramspeck, Mr. Truman is very much

• THERE IS A GROWING belief in Washington that circumstances will force President Truman to retain Edward R. Stettlnius, Jr., as secretary of state for some months to come despite recurrent rumors that he will be removed from his high office following the San Fran-
cisco conference.
However, any summary dismissal of Stettlnius, It is said, might be construed as a reprimand for failure at San Francisco, an interpretation the administration could not afford to have even hinted at if it wishes to have the United States play its part in a post-war ! organization to maintain world peace. For this reason, it is now generally accepted in the capital that Stettlnius will be retained in the cabinet at least until the Senate has completed the task of ratifying the United Nations’ peace organization document, which Stettlnius must steer through the Senate as head of the United States delegation to San Francisco.

• WASHINGTON—Measured by any yardstick. General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower is the real McCoy as a conquering hero. He’s got it all—brains, brawn, magnetism, force, charm. And, I believe, he’s got humility, too. For he blushed to the tip of the bald spot on the top of his fine head as cheers rocked the Joint session of
Congress when he was in Washington.
At lunch time, so I am told, the general of the Army was not too
shy. He ate his food with gusto. That he had a magnificent time was noticeable to one and all. He has a knack of putting everybody at ease. You knew that the moment you saw him. You said involuntarily: “Ike’s here. Now everything will be all right” And everything was all right
wherever the conqueror went.
Surely this particular talent is one of the many talents that have made his leadership so perfect. Men who labor with him say that as soon as tho general has a job to do, he promptly sets to work to make everybody with whom he is going to be
associated like him.
The general himself is aware when this stage has been reached. His next move is to use this relationship with his associates to get prompt
