Kennedy Rights Stand Cuts JFK Popularity Says RFK
Attorney General Robert F Kennedy says President Kennedy has lost some popularity due to civil rights actions but will be re elected in 1964. He urged passage of the civil rights package and warned against mass demonstrations in Washington while Senate action proceeds. The White House moved to extend Equal Employment Opportunity powers and curb discriminatory practices affecting service members and families.
