Rights Bill Passes Without Jury Amendment
The House passed President Eisenhower’s civil rights bill, defeating 251-158 a last minute jury trial amendment from the Southern bloc. The measure would empower the attorney general to seek federal injunctions in civil rights cases and create a commission to investigate complaints, with a special Justice Department division to handle matters. The bill proceeds to the Senate for action amid reports of a rush to calendar.

Humphrey Defends Tight Money Policy Before Senate Panel
Treasury Secretary Humphrey defended the administration's tight money policies before the Senate Finance Committee, saying prosperity comes with problems and affirming the policies' link to higher employment, more homes and cars, and increased purchasing power while noting the farmer sectors lag.
