Fate of civil rights bill hangs as Senate sends back to House
The Senate approved a jury trial version of the civil rights bill 72 to 18 and sent it to the House amid reports President Eisenhower may call Congress back in November. The House passed a broader measure 296 to 126, while Senate provisions included court injunctions and a new civil rights division. Eisenhower’s veto prospects depend on changes.

United States Steel chairman Roger M. Blough testified before senators that steel prices are not inflationary drivers, calling recent rises “sheer economic superstition.” He noted costs rose about 6 percent per man hour due to wage increases, while steel price hikes averaged 4 percent and argued steel remains inexpensive per pound and relative to other costs.
