PAGE FOUR I—SECTION THREE SENATOR Sam Ervin frAYS Washington The battle that began in the Senate on March 9 will soon be concluded with the final enactment of the beguiling civil rights bill of 1964. The House is expected to concur in the passage of the Senate meas ure. The strongest coercive measure in American history will become law shortly there after. One has but to review the de feat of the amendments offered in good faith following cloture on June 10 to realize the tre mendous pressures brought to boar upon the Senate as it con sidered this bill. In rapid or der, amendments, which would have been readily accepted as a part of any other bill, were vot ed down in an emotional atmos phere. Although I opposed this bill because it violates many funda mental American principles, aft er cloture was invoked, I en deavored to try to make the bill sensible, workable, fair, and in (gnformity with established ju dicial procedures. To this end. I offered a number of amend ments and called up thirty-four cf these within the brief time permitted. Only the amendment which I offered to prevent the dual prosecution of civil rights defendants for the same criminal act was accepted and incorporat ed into the bill. The other thirty three meritorious amendments were rejected by margins which ranged from very close to over- MOORE Governor r i^||| ' ' * “ ' HuuntHii4lM ' . 4 1 , Some peony just didn’t realize how much Fords have changed. Then, they came in to see Mustang —and took their first good look around a Ford showroom. They saw the hottest line of cars in America... the “Car of the Year” Award winners... the best-built Fords ever. They saw cars so smartly styled, so easy to handle, so good to drive, that they made this the best sales year in Ford Division history even before the Mustang came out. They saw America’s leading performance car —the Super Torque Ford 0 ardtop sales up 54%). They saw America’s most famous personal luxury car—Thundetbird—with sales up 68% TRV PCRFOItMA "-C-S over last year’s record. They found out why Falcon almost outsells Chevy II and Valiant combined. And why Faiilane is a pace-setter ll in its own field. One look can make you fall in love with any one of jIHL MM Ford’s 46 models. A test drive can make you a Ford man forever. • f»w«« •** • * ‘ '- * . V '«^J^^S ,,, v -'•/>., IHKgl^Btefe&~.. . -. J ',. ,&&&& i& ~.# % 1 4 E : »> -.-.

I The amendments which I of fered were made in conformity I with fundamental principles j which I have always attempted •to incorporate in the laws gov erning our nation. These princi j pies are that laws should be uniform and certain in all cases of a like nature, and that the | legal rights of all men in like circumstances ought to be iden tical. This bill does violence to these ideas. It grants many kinds of judicial review, it grants spe j eial privileges to the supposed ' beneficiaries which are not J granted to all Americans, and it ! directs "the law to apply in large ■ j measure toward one region of ' j the nation. As a result of this, j the bill does much to destroy ' the right of all Americans to have equal protection of the law. With the passage of this bill, the real ordeal lies ahead. We are told that the demonstrations J will continue, that new out- I breaks ot violence are expected 1 to occur, and that campaigns will jbe launched, notwithstanding this ' i legislation, against at least one '! Southern state. Moderation, pa i tience, and courage will be test- I ed unceasingly as they have been within the past year.

Shriver, commander-for dihe im pending War on Poverty, opined j that said war could be won in • ten years once it gets started. nobody remarked about it. Optimism that such ia war can be won at all is commendable, in the light of the faat that no na tion anywhere at any time has succeeded in defeating the so poverty. But there may be dis appointment among those who take the timetable literally. For the war will be waged by the bureaucratic warriors of Washington, whose glacial rate of progress is evident on all sides. For more than 30 years, for example, Washington has been waging a war on rural poverty through myriad agencies of the Department of Agriculture. Funds and personnel have not been lacking, but today rural poverty is especially cited as a prime objective of the Shriver war. The Agriculture Depart ment has had mifch more to work with than ShnV.er’s pro gram calls for, too. Plans That Didn't Work Poverty among the Indians i? another bastion to be overcome, and a sort of guerilla warfare against poverty among Indians has been waged since the earlier policy of shooting them was i abandoned. That campaign be gan in the last century. The Tennessee Valley Authori ty, set up to eradicate poverty u from a vast Appalachian Area I 30 years ago, hadn’t done so when the Area Revelopmervt Ad ministration came along. More than half the counties in the TVA area were declared distress ed, and ARA went to work. Now the same counties, still floor, are to get yet another force to relieve their poverty in the Appalachian project—that is, if Mr. Shriver’s program goes through. The cities, whose poverty so distresses Washington, have had it a long-time, and they have not been neglected by Washing ton all these years. The PWA and WPA were on the scene early. Then other public works programs, the Small Business Administration, the Unemploy ment Security offices and other agencies took over. Urban re newal, public housing and other programs have poured billions into the cities. Federal con tracts for all kinds of goods have been allocated to cities which have higher than average rates of unemployment. Perhaps all these things could help some, but facts must be faced. All the proposed tech niques for fighting poverty have been in operation a long time, and poverty has yielded slowly and at enormous cost. The Real Incentive And we can’t credit Federal programs exclusively, or even mainly, with such successes as have been scored. Every com pany that hires more people to day than it did ten years ago, or pays its employees more obvious ly has contributed. Every indi vidual who has worked himself up from below the poverty level has, too.
