House Opposes Segregation In National Guard
The House voted 167 to 143 against racial segregation in the National Guard. The measure could jeopardize Eisenhower's proposed military reserve training bill if the later roll call upholds the anti segregation amendment. The chamber supported an amendment barring reservist assignments to segregated units and left the bill unfinished as business. Chairman Carl Vinson said the measure is not killed and may be revisited, with Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. noting the Armed Services committee will seek an acceptable bill.
