South Objects To Cutoff Section
Washington AP reports Southern senators object to a civil rights bill provision allowing cutoff of federal funds for discriminatory programs. The debate centers on targeted cuts rather than whole programs, with Kennedy and Dirksen backing amendments to limit the cutoff to specific projects. The bill seeks desegregation in facilities and schools and mandates surveys on education gaps.
