Knowland Confident Of Victory In Civil Rights Debate
Senator Knowland voiced confidence that a jury trial amendment to the civil rights bill would be defeated, despite revisions aimed at winning wavering senators. The new section would let Negroes serve as federal court jurors regardless of state qualifications, a change opponents say won’t sway votes. Senate leaders predicted a possible vote this week as Southern opponents brace for a showdown. President Eisenhower pressed for swift approval of federal authority to seek injunctions protecting Black voters, with no jury trials in such cases. Russell said Southern foes do not plan a filibuster, but would not yield to pressure.
