* SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
* SAYS *
Washington.—The- greatest vic
tory for local government of my
lifetime has happened as the re
sult of Senate action to strike
out Part 111 from the Civil
Rights BilL
Victory For All
1 This is not a victory for the
South only; it is a triumph of
reason and constitutional prin
ciples for the entire country.
The repudiation of the propo
nents of harsh legislation by the
Senate shows that the Senate is
unwilling to vest in a single fal
lible human being, namely, the
Attorney General of the United
States, -complete authority over
the States, the counties and mu
nicipalities. *
Jury Trial
As this is written, we are em
barking on a strong effort to
provide jury trials in criminal
contempt cases arising out of
charges of the abridgement of
voting rights. You will recall
that I have discussed this matter
at length in previous columns.
While it is impossible to predict
the outcome of this effort, I be
lieve the Senate is rather closely
divided on this issue. The
O’Mahoney amendment has very
strong bi-partisan support.
Proud Os The Record
1 am gratified at the record of
the Senate in this debate. By a
Unanimous vote of 90 Senators,
the bayonet provisions of en
forcement of civil rights was
stripped from the bill; by a vote
of 52-38 the Senate confined the
bill to voting rights. This has
been done by a persistent attack
on the evils of this legislation
Which was so generally and
poorly drawn that few, if any,
really understood the bill’s pro
visions when it was presented to
the Congress last January. It
has required virtually all of my
time to study the harsh and de-

jpfia wui sometimes noi only
vious provisions of the bill, but
I have .an abiding faith in the
will of the Senate to listen to
reasoned arfd sound debate. It
was such a course that I tried
to follow at all times in the de
bate, emphasizing the truth of
the observation that the bill
would rob Americans of their
fundamental rights and at the
same time give no'new rights to
anyone.
Hard Fight
The South is a minoroity in
the Senate; we do not have the
votes to deny the will of the
Senate. We do have the con
viction of the soundness of our
precepts and took our task
seriously. Our battle for sound
principles compounds our labors
as Senators and requires the
greatest expenditure of mental
and physical strength to get the
ears of our colleagues as reason
able legislators. I' think the
wisdom of the rule of unlimited
debate in the Senate has been
demonstrated clearly during this
debate. * I cite to support this
belief the indisputable fact that
the civil rights bill was laden
with provisions totally unknown
to the Senate, provisions that
had to be eliminated on the floor
of the Senate/ Had not the Sen
i ate possessed the right to debate
1 this bill, I shudder to think of
what would have been the con
sequence.
As one of the country’s lead
ing newspapers said, “In talking
on the Civil Rights Bill it (the
Senate) has used its ancibnt priv
ilege to clear up obscure issues.”
It also pointed out that the Sen
ate has made a case for unlimit
jed debate. Another writer said,
“We are today witnessing the
: most meaningful and productive
debate on civil rights that has
marked the deliberations of the
Senate in years.”

Anna's history was pretty
bleak. In January 1951, she was
in. a train-car wreck and sus
tained a severely fractured right
leg and complications. When
Anna waa released from Her
mann Hospital, Houston, Texas
—she was on crutches.
Sgt. Bill W„ the friend with
whom Anna was riding when the
train-auto accident occurred, fell
in love with her and they were
married. However on Septem
ber 22, 1952, she was s*' ! cken
with polio and rushed t- Jeffer
son Davis Hospital. Houston's
Polio Center. The baby, little
Benjamin Rex, waa born Janu r
ary 7, 1953. Two weeks later,
Anna left the hospital—still on
crutches.
just one year later, spondyli
tis, a disease similar to polio,
entered into Anna's life. This
left her confined to a wheel
chair.
April 25, 1955 they arrived in
Wichita Falls. .Texas where Bill
was stationed at Sheppard Air
Force Base. On. the first Sunday,
Bill and Anna and another young
couple were .watching a reli
gious television program in their
home. The program was concern
ing God's love and His power.
He was presented as a good God,
One Who is able to heal. At
the close of the program there
was prayer for those viewing the
program.
Bill shot a quick glance at his
wife sitting across the room
from him. He and the other

themselves. He said, "At that
precise moment a strange feel
ing. entered into Anna's frail
body and she said there Was a
general tingling throughout her
body. Her legs felt strange and
alive. An overwhelming com
pulsion told her to GET UP AND
WALK."
“Honey." she said, “help me
get up." She grasped his hands
and pulled herself up from the
divan with her own power.
Bill watch apprehensively. She
lurched forward with staggering,
unsteady steps. In panic, Bill
grabbed for Anna's hand and at
tempted to steady her. “Turn me
loose!" she exclaimed. “I’m go
ing to walk. God has hold pf me.”
Anna W. did walk. Her un
steady steps grew firm. She
tossed back her head and cried
exultantly, “The Lord has healed
me!”
She picked up little Sijpuv,
raised him high over her .flead
and laughed -with the thrill of
full motherhood. This was her
child and although he was 28
months old. this was the first
time she had ever had strength
to lift him.

giving happy shouts of praise
for the miracle of deliverance.
Anna was healed! Anna ia walk
