Dixie Governors Hold Fire on Civil Rights Debate at Conference
At the Southern Governors Conference in West Virginia the governors including Mississippi's Ross Barnett and Alabama's George Wallace urged action on civil rights but were met with polite applause and a decision to avoid a united show of force.
