Rights Bill Amendment Would Limit Penalties
In Washington AP report juries would not be allowed to impose more than three days in jail or a $300 fine without a jury trial in civil rights cases under a Senate amendment. Dirksen and Mansfield introduced the measure as the civil rights debate extended to day 39. The proposal echoes 1957 voting rights provisions and seeks jury trials in all criminal contempt cases except in court. The Justice Department reportedly backs the plan, while Johnson and Senate leaders push for House-approved language unchanged.

President Johnson Back From Tour Praises Spirit of the Poor
Railroads report Johnson pledged a fair and reasonable review of requests for federal tax relief after settling a five year labor dispute over jobs wages and working conditions. J E Wolfe, chief negotiator for about 200 railroads, said the promise was not a quid pro quo for approving the settlement. No official cost estimate exists for the work rules package, but some expect about 70 million dollars yearly in union gains with unclear savings on employment. The tax review centers on depreciation of tunnels and grading aspects under IRS rules.
