Ike Opposed to Jury Trial in Civil Rights Bill
Washington President Eisenhower said he opposes adding a jury trial amendment to the administration civil rights bill now before the Senate. He stressed the power of federal judges to enforce court orders must be sustained and stood by his July 16 objectives for congressional passage. The bill would allow civil injunctions to protect voting rights without jury trials, though some senators seek jury trials in contempt cases. Debate likely to extend another week as Johnson seeks a time break for spending authorizations.
