The House Rules Committee informally agreed to clear a stalled civil rights bill for floor action, with formal action likely Thursday. The measure, modeled on federal enrollment officers overseeing registration and counting, would allow challenged voters to cast ballots but have those ballots impounded if challenges prevail. Senate consideration of a Democratic voting rights plan was deferred due to illness of Rep. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D Mo).

Mail on Chessman Case Heavily Favors Clemency
The Supreme Court refused a stay of execution for Daryl Chessman as California faced a flood of clemency mail. Gov. Edmund Brown’s office reports letters and telegrams overwhelmingly support clemency, with an estimated 2 to 1 ratio, while the governor weighs new evidence or leads and keeps out nonessential communications. Chessman, convicted in 1948 of kidnapping and sex offenses, faces Friday execution after a decade on San Quentin's death row. Famed lawyer Jerry Giesler calls the stay a form of torture and urges clemency.
