Senate Skirmish Over Civil Rights Bill Fair Housing Hit
Washington AP reports the Senate opens with a clash over President Johnson's civil rights bill as Republican leader Dirksen torpedoes the fair housing provision forbidding racial or religious discrimination in housing sales or rentals. Dirksen warns he cannot back a filibuster break if the section remains unconstitutional, while Mansfield and Javits resist deadlines. Other provisions on juries, penalties, and desegregation suits proceed amid anticipation of Southern strategy and judicial action.
