Walter Reuther Blasts Congress on Civil Rights
Walter Reuther president of the United Auto Workers scolded Congress for a do nothing record on civil rights. He told a House Judiciary subcommittee that only Congress has failed to act as states communities and unions push ahead to end discrimination based on color religion and race. The hearing continued next week despite GOP opposition while Eisenhower's four point civil rights plan faces scrutiny. Reuther argued public awareness now makes meaningful legislation more likely than in prior years.
