Negro Leader Targets Eastland in Civil Rights Debate
Clarence Mitchell of the NAACP labeled Senator Eastland a stinking albatross around the Democrats' necks while Adam Clayton Powell hinted he might quit Congress to lead a nationwide fight against segregation. Powell, preaching Deliverance Day, urged support for a boycott in Montgomery on March 28. University of Alabama officials indicated they will resist forced integration but will follow court decisions, and Autherine Lucy's case remains under university review.
