SENATOR A
SAMERVIN JjfLgl
WASHINGTON Con
gress has before it the ad
ministration’s proposed
Civil Rights Act of 1967.
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.
