Solons May Back Vote Bill
Washington reports that Senator Mansfield predicts at least eight senators will back the administration's voting rights bill when it reaches the Senate for passage possibly next month. Dirksen says more support is likely, and passage could occur without a debate limit. Johnson says he would prefer a stronger bill, but legal advisers say it goes as far as it can. The measure would let civil service examiners register voters in six Southern states with low turnout.
