WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.T-
(AP)—The House passed to-
day a fair employment prac-
tices (FEPC) bill stripped of
enforcement provisions. The
vole vvas 240 to 177.
The bill, far shell of what
President Truiimn wanted, now
goes lo Die Senate. The House
action came after a debate that
started at noon yesterday and
ran into early this morning.
The bill that finally emerged
from ttie House fell so far short
of what Mr. Truman wanted that
many of Its original supporters
refused to vote for It. Southern
Democrats opixised it solidly.
They were largely responsible for
having knocked all the enforce-
ment teeth from the proposal.
It expresses a policy that there
should be no discrimination
against minority groups In Job
opportunities and seeks to avert
such discrimination through per-
suasion and education. It provides
no penalties for anyone violating
its major provisions.
The bill would create a five

MANCHESTER. N. H., Feb. 23
~<A»>—The atate said today Dr.
Hermann N. Sander admitted
taking Uie life or a suffering 50-
year-old woman cancer patient
with air injections administered
at the urging of her husband.
Attorney General W!l|lant
Phlnney told a Jury of tl men
that “the motile behind any de-
termined and premediated killing
has no bear.ng whether R be good
or laid the results ere the same”

Phinney also said the evidence
would show that the 41-year-old
country physician administered
10 cubic centimeters of air intra-
venously four limes, and that the
patient died within 10 minutes.
He quoted Dr. Sander as
that she passed away
“imaeefully and quietly" after the
Injection*.
During cross • examination of
the first state witness — Dr.
Harold I. Overud, president of
the staff of the hospital—defense
counsel Louis It. Wyman indicated
the defense may contend the pa-
tient already was dead when the
injections were made.
