Rights Bill Becomes More Obnoxious In Senate Debate
Contiued from Page One reports Dirksen Humphrey and Kennedy altered the civil rights bill chiefly in public accommodations and equal employment. Amendments strip the government's power to file individual anti discrimination suits, leaving the attorney general to sue only for patterns of discrimination. Individuals must sue themselves. States would get time to address complaints before federal action. The pact bans federal court orders to bus pupils to balance districts. Humphrey sees little chance for cloture before June 2 California primary, given Goldwater opposition to civil rights and Senate cutoffs.
