(JP) The loftiest oratorical wave in the general assembly this session swept an Ohio FEPC bill to passage in the house Wednesday. The vote was 70 to 61.

It followed nearly four hours of intense debate. Spectators filled galleries to the end. Several kept score during the six roll call votes on changes proposed from the floor.

The proposal makes it an unfair labor practice for employers of more than 12 people to discriminate because of race or religion in hiring and firing workers.
