Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy proposes narrowing the ban on discrimination in privately owned places of public accommodation possibly exempting small stores and tourist homes. Washington sees it as a practical compromise that could push the civil rights program forward, though critics call it indefensible in principle.
The piece argues that discrimination in any public venue is unacceptable regardless of establishment size or type. It notes over half the states have laws banning discrimination in hotels, restaurants, lodging, and similar venues and supports federal public accommodations legislation to secure universal rights nationwide.
Gov. Grant Sawyer of Nevada discusses gambling revenue and the state's tourism driven industry. He notes Nevada's diversified gambling, 18 million yearly tourists, and that gambling provides over 20 percent of state revenue and about 40,000 jobs. The piece contrasts state approaches and warns of a broader tax revenue bandwagon. It also quotes a Vermont outlook and criticizes liberal policy trends.
The piece argues Kennedy’s West Berlin trip shows Europe faces a Western Alliance rift over whether Paris or Washington leads. It contends de Gaulle’s primacy blocks easy reunification and urges a clearer United States France understanding to revive Atlantic policy.
Burlington Free Press argues Vermon residents may know professionals who fit the so called liberal profile. The piece cites Rep Hall referencing a Congressional Record sketch describing liberals as naive believers in law to solve problems with studies and funding rather than direct action.
A Bennington letter to The Banner lauds the Sells & Gray Circus matinee for family entertainment and community harmony. Flora A. Winchell urges continued public discourse as Justice Black’s views inspire broader sharing of ideas. Lloyd Oppenheimer thanks The Banner staff for publicity aiding the Multiple Sclerosis Hope Chest Fund Drive.
A columnist urges restraint as Mississippi authorities investigate fingerprints on a high power rifle linked to Medgar Evers murder. The piece debates prejudice while arguing not to rush judgments before a court verdict, and questions public sensationalism surrounding the case.
The piece analyzes how large Washington protests, including possible future nonviolent marches, have historically failed to quickly force congressional action. It reviews Coxey's Army, suffragettes, and the Bonus Army, noting the long lags and outcomes from 1894 to 1932 and the 1940s era civil rights issues.
