White House Eyeing Stronger Open Housing Proviso
A divided Senate heads to a Friday clash over the civil rights bill. The White House may push to strengthen the open housing clause as revised by the House while Senate leaders weigh strategy to move the measure to the calendar.

President Johnson praised the House passage but said the open housing provision is less comprehensive than his request.
