Civil Rights Bill Proposes Expanded Enforcement and Jury Changes

The proposal would bar jury trials in civil contempt in voting rights cases and authorize civil contempt actions to enforce court orders. It calls for a six member bipartisan commission with presidential nomination and Senate confirmation, a two year study of civil rights issues, and subpoena power. A new civil rights division in the Justice Department would be created, and a repeal of a Reconstruction era law allows troops to enforce civil rights orders. The measure would change federal jury qualification rules to better allow Negroes on juries, with penalties for unauthorized disclosure of commission proceedings limited to commission staff.
