Moderation debated as civil rights bill advances
Salisbury debates moderation in a national civil rights bill as Morris testifies before the Senate Commerce Committee. He argues the measure lacks incentives for voluntary community talks yet could backfire if misused by agitators. Rusk defends the bill, while Thurmond challenges the crowd's composition. Other civil rights moves include a House panel backing a Federal Fair Employment Practices Commission and Senate action extending the U S Civil Rights Commission.
