Senate Rejects Single Family Exemption in Civil Rights Bill
The Senate narrowly rejected a bid to exempt single family homes from a civil rights bill while approving tougher antiriot provisions. An 82 to 13 vote added a federal crime for crossing state lines with riot incitement intent, and two SouthernSponsored amendments on riots passed. A Baker exemption proposal to shield 29 million homes failed 48 to 43, with Long proposing broader interstate commerce actions for antiriot penalties. The administration antiriot measure, sent to the Capitol, seeks to protect free speech and peaceful assembly.
