Southerners Push State Rights Bill
Southerners and their allies on the House Judiciary Committee pushed a states right bill. The measure by Rep. Howard Smith would declare that no federal act overrides a state law unless Congress explicitly declares its intent. It was inspired by a Supreme Court decision voiding a Pennsylvania sedition law and pre empting the field. The panel vote was 17 to 15 in favor at a closed door meeting. The Justice Department opposed the bill citing potential confusion in areas like transportation where both levels legislate.
