Byrd Attacks Punitive Civil Rights Bill in Senate
Senator Harry F. Byrd denounces the civil rights bill as punitive and unconstitutional saying the Senate fought a two month battle with 125 hours of debate. He credits Southern leaders for resisting federal power and NAACP pressure while praising Richard Russell and Howard W. Smith for coalition opposition. The petition includes provisions on federal registration of Black voters, election record retention, criminal penalties for obstruction, and federal schooling aid amid integration fights. Roy Wilkins of the NAACP calls the bill a fraud and says it makes voting harder for Negroes.
