Civil Rights Amendments Put on Shelf
The Senate shelved two civil rights amendments to the draft bill on June 7 after hours of debate. The measures, offered by Senator Langer, sought to ban segregation in the armed forces and prohibit discrimination against service members traveling on common carriers. Both were tabled by wide margins, 67 to 7 and by a voter vote, as leaders feared a southern filibuster, with final action on the draft expected within the week. The House awaits Senate action before it can consider its own draft bill.
