Opponents Offer Rights Change In Civil Rights Bill
In a surprise move Southern senators challenged the House civil rights bill by proposing an amendment for jury trials in criminal contempt cases. The Senate, now on day 37 of debate, may derail Dirksen’s plan to offer 11 amendments to the anti job discrimination section. Senator Russell suggested Dixie forces may not object to proceeding on Dirksen’s amendments first by unanimous consent. This would allow them to resume speeches without violating the two-speech limit.
