The Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, of which I am chairman, has begun hearings to determ ine the nature, the scope and the effect of this measure upon the lives and liberties of the people. It comes to the Senate in the wake of the coun try’s worst race riots with urgings that Congress must enact more so-called civil rights legislation or face the consequences. Such pleas were also made in 1964 when Congress was told repeatedly by the Justice Department that if it passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it would take controversy out of the streets and put it in the courts. In 1965 Congress was told the same thing. Congress yielded and leg islated. This time there appears to 'be less Congressional receptiveness to such ar guments. If the mindless destruction of our cities has proven anything, it has demonstrated that law lessness is not curbed by the passage of an annual package of civil rights proposals. The country is finding out, too, that labels on a bill do not tell all. The label “civil rights” is not THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1967. the only thing that comes with many of these meas ures. Often there are reams of federal controls in the form of federal reg ulations. Then a task force of strangers comes to the community to advise. Soon liberties become a little wilted. Sometimes liber, ties die when the penalties are invoked. . The truth is that most civil rights rights bills are based upon the premise that the federal govern ment knows better than we how we should live and act. No better example of this can be found than the latest version of the fed eral “open housing” propo sal. In three stages, Con gress is asked to give the Department of Housing and Urban Development the power to control the sale and rental of private housing through junior ap pointees and employees with virtually unbridled administrative discretion. One can find ample cause for concern when he thinks, of the “field day” this new bureaucracy would have in dealing with all the griev ances that would come to it over the sale and rental of private homes and apartments. A few years ago a citi zen would have discounted such a proposal as “a bad dream” that required no argument that it violated the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth Amend ments, that it was oppres sive, or that it was un workable in a free society. Yet, today the subcommit tee is considering this very proposal and finding that advocates are confus ed on how it may work. It should be stated that even the fondest expecta tions by “open housing” advocates do not take into consideration the fact that such a bill would not meet the needs of slum dwellers -and would fan die flames of frustration in those who are deluded about its ef fect and purpose. In future columns, I ex pect to discuss other titles of the proposed 1967 Civil Rights Act, and my con cerns about its provisoins relating to the selection of members of state jury pan els and the expansion of powers by the Equal Em ployment Opportunity Com mission, both of which af fect the basic liberties of our people.
