Civil Rights Bill Faces House Resistance and Delays
House Rules Chairman Howard W Smith vows to defeat the civil rights bill reported by the Judiciary Committee. A move postponed a vote on June 2, with five pro bill lawmakers seeking a special meeting. Rep James Roosevelt seeks 150 signatures to force a floor vote, while House rules may allow a later meeting. If passed, the bill would create a bipartisan civil rights commission, a new Justice Department division, and broaden Attorney General power to sue and seek federal injunctions in voting rights cases. The bill’s fate hinges on Senate action and potential delays.
