Civil rights bill fate under strong Senate push
Washington reports that Senate leaders foresee civil rights legislation passing this session despite a Southern filibuster. An influential Democrat, who spoke off the record, said a program aligned with President Eisenhower would pass probably sooner rather than later, aided by cross party support and public sentiment. The plan includes court action, a civil rights division in the Justice Department, and a presidential commission to investigate rights matters. The measure has been introduced in both chambers, and while a filibuster is likely, action may come after a month, with Senate rules possibly eased thereafter. Major party leaders Johnson and Knowland backed a proposal to permit two thirds of present senators to halt debate. Columbus’s second voyage brought the Virgin Islands to attention. canvasback ducks clock 60 to 70 mph.
