Survey Shows Minor
Race Relations Gains
In Several States

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Although
state legislatures were presented
with numerous bills to correct
abuses in the field of race rela-
tions and to assure equality for
all people without discrimination,
very few laws were enacted, a
survey conducted by the Com-
mission on Law and Social Action
of the American Jewisi' congress
reveals. "Throughout _the nation
less than 10 laws in this field'
have been enacted • to date," it
was reported today by Will Mas-
low, commission director.
In employment, the survey dis-
closes some forward steps were
taken. Connecticut enacted a
Fair Employment Practices Com-
mission law. Illinois enacted a
law to establish a Governor's In-
terracial Commission to investi-
gate opportunities in employment
and to cooperate with organiza-
tions in the promotion of toler-
ance and good will, • In Indiana,
a law was passed making it un-
lawful to "conspire, organize or
associate for the purpose of
spreading malicious hatred by
reason of race, color or religion."
