May Counter Move On Segregation
Washington Sen Humphrey proposed circulating a declaration backing the Supreme Court school integration ruling to counter a Southern manifesto. He cited potential support from many lawmakers to declare the court order the law of the land and enforce it. Sen George warned against using force, saying it could disrupt public schools. The Dixie group drafted the manifesto calling the 1954 decision an abuse of judicial power, while Sen Russell said no organized plan to use congressional power exists. Some Southern Republicans joined, but not all Southern Democrats supported the manifesto.
