I realize. however. the temper of many of my colleagues. They have been hypnotized by the civilrights agitators. In this atmosphere. there would be no purpose in arguing the injustice and insensibility of precluding an employer from inquiring into the birthplace of a prospective employee. of prohibiting him. even in these uncertain times. from asking to see the naturalization papers of a foreignborn applicant. It probably is useless to suggest that an employer who wishes to give some preference to veterans of the wars of the United States should be allowed to ask an applicant whether he was in the armed forcesanother question that is verboten under regulations promulgated where FEPC is in effect. And I do not think those who are contending so strongly here for FEPC will be moved to concern for the employees who might like to feel that their employer had some control over the composition of the working forcethe selection of those with whom they are to labor.
