House Debates Civil Rights Bill and Jury Trial Question
Supporters of President Eisenhower's civil rights bill failed to knock out a jury trial amendment on contempt cases. The House opened debate as Rep Keeney and Rep Celler clashed over relatedness to the bill while Forand allowed the motion to proceed. Keeney argued the bill makes the United States prosecutor judge and strips the defendant of jury rights. southern opponents fear juries would aid acquittals in contempt prosecutions. Southerners insist rights require jury trials to protect citizens.
