His spirited attack on “racial discrimination and prejudice” Fri- day in a commencement address at Howard University, a Negro \institution, brought immediate but mixed reaction from congressmen, even among those of his own party. “I am not one of those who feel that we can leave these mat- ters up to the states alone, or that we can rely Mr. Truman told an audience mated by university officials at 15,000. “Our federal government must live up to its ideals professed in our Declaration of Independence and the duties imposed on it by our Constitution. The full force | and power of the federal govern- | ment must stand behind the pro- tection of rights guaranteed by our Federal Constitution.” Most of the candidates of both parties have taken the position that fair employment practices (FEPC), poll tax repeal, anti- lynching laws and other such legis- lation should be left up to the states. “He's still playing politics with this (civil rights) issue,” Sen Ellender (D.-La.) said of the ad dress. Sen. McClellan (D.-Ark.) said the speech is “not calculated to promote harmony either within the Democratic Party or among the races.” Sen. Mundt (R.-S.D.) said “This issué could split and defeat the Democrats hopelessly in the elec- | tions.” But Sen. Lehman (D.-Lib.-N.Y.), a long-time advocate of strong civil tights laws, called it “a great speech, a statesmanlike pronounce ment.” “T’'m on the platform committee for the National Convention,” man said, specific platform planks for a FEPC law with teeth in it, and the entire program outlined by President Truman.” Although Mr. Truman did not mention by name Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he took what seemed to be a thinly veiled dig at him. The President said experience has exploded a contention by “some of our greatest generals” that white and Negro troops could not be fully integrated into the armed forces. Eisenhower four years ago told a Senate committee he favored organizing Negroes in units of 40 or 50 men—no larger—in the armed forces. At the time he spoke out against complete segregation, solely on the | esti- | Leb- | “and I'm going to cite | this speech and fight for strong, | Auxiliary Police ‘Of Miami Are Disbanded Today: MIAMI Miami’s 27-man auxiliary police force was tempo- rarily disbanded today after one of its members killed a man are rested on a minor charge. Clarence Childers, arrested | after an a ment with a neighbor, was shot down by Auxiliary Pa. trolman Andrew Schwartz Thurs+ day when he jumped from a police car. Pending an investigation of the shooting, Police Chief Walter E, Headley ordered a temporary dis- continuance of the auxiliary force, which had been used to supple- ment the regular police since the wartime manpower shortage. The | auxiliary police serve without pay and buy their own uniforms. State Attorney Glenn C. Mincer demanded a grand jury investiga- tion of the shooting. “The sanctity of human life is more important than the capture of a person arrested for nothing more serious than a misdemean- or,” Mincer said. “In’ Childers’ case, all the of- ficers would have had to do was go around to his house later and arrest him again City Manager John W, Watson Jr. said he would discuss with Headley. the possibility of disbands ing the auxiliary force.
