Jury Trial Amendment Shaped For Civil Rights Bill
Washington AFP The Senate leaders forged a compromise jury trial amendment to the civil rights bill as part of a three‑part effort to end a seven week deadlock. The plan would keep the jury trial provision within the bill and aims to resolve disputes in public accommodations and fair employment sections. Senator Dirksen and Senator Mansfield outlined the proposal, with Senator Saltonstall suggesting a separate compromise on public accommodations to allow the attorney general nine days to settle discrimination complaints before civil suits.
