Poll tax bill faces Senate stand and House support
Speaker John W. McCormack pledged backing for the Senate stand on poll taxes while Rep. Emanuel Celler said he would oppose any effort to weaken the provision. The Judiciary Committee approved the bill on May 12 and will file its formal report Monday, with about three weeks more before floor action. The measure, aligned with President Johnson’s March 15 speech, would suspend literacy tests in several Southern states and authorize federal registrars to sign up voters where tests are struck down. It also permits court action to appoint Federal registrars and suspend tests where the attorney general sues to enforce the 15th Amendment. The Senate moved to limit debate, but Southern opposition remained strong.
