Washington action moves a stalemated civil rights bill toward House floor debate, with formal action expected Thursday. Senate debate on a Democratic voting rights plan was deferred due to illness of sponsor Thomas C. Hennings Jr. The measure would rely on federal enrollment offices overseen by the President to supervise registration and voting, allowing challenged ballots to be counted if later upheld by a federal court.
