Senate Defeat For Literacy Test Debate In Civil Rights Fight
The Senate failed to limit debate on the Kennedy administration literacy test bill 53 to 43, and then rejected a motion to table it 64 to 33. The measure would exempt sixth grade educated voters from literacy tests, a provision backers say aims to curb discriminatory practices. Democrats split 30 to 30, Republicans 23 to 13 against debate limits. Mansfield and Dirksen led efforts to test sentiment, while the antifilibuster rule has rarely been used against civil rights bills since 1927.
