Bitter fight over civil rights may delay adjournment plans
Washington reports a fierce civil rights clash in the House threatens to push back plans to adjourn by July 28. Southern Democrats threaten procedural stalling to block the bill as leaders push to send it to a Senate seen as likely to defeat it. The measure would create a Justice Department civil rights division commission and ease federal injunctions against rights infringements while other major bills face fights and potential delays. The Senate aims for light duties this week with memorial services and an All Star game on the docket, but an omnibus housing bill and foreign aid measures complicate adjournment hopes.
