Civil Rights Bill Package Offered
Senator Thomas Hennings urged bypassing the Judiciary Committee to adopt a broad civil rights package. He proposed amendments to be printed for Senate debate, aiming to attach them to a House bill later. The package would extend the Civil Rights Commission, preserve local voting records, require writing of voting tests, empower civil suits in desegregation, declare segregation a violation of the 14th Amendment, offer technical aid to troubled communities, and make interstate flight to avoid prosecution for civil rights crimes a federal offense.
