Southerner Hodges Quiet on Civil Rights After Europe Tour
Washington report notes unfinished civil rights business for Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges after a Europe trade tour. Under Secretary Roosevelt testified July 23 before the Senate Commerce Committee supporting the administration’s civil rights package. Hodges was on vacation and no position letter was received for the hearing record. Speculation grows that Hodges may seek politics in North Carolina, with southern politicians agreeing strong civil rights backing is politically risky there.
