House to Get Civil Rights Setup Soon
The House Rules Committee informally agreed to clear a stalled civil rights bill for House action, with formal floor action likely Thursday and House consideration aimed for next month. A parallel Senate move on Negro voting rights stalled. Hennings illness delayed his plan, which leans on federal enrollment officers to supervise registration and voting and allow challenged ballots to be counted if later upheld in federal court. The measure, softened by Southern lawmakers, would criminalize resistance to desegregation orders, aid FBI investigations, preserve vote records, and fund schooling for servicemen’s children if schools close over desegregation
