Rights Hopes
Dimmed By
Referral of Ru!e
NEW YORK, — Referral of ''le
proposed changes ill the S'nato
filibuster rule to the S^'nate r'llrs
committee, voted by a close 50-46
on January 11, is a "signal from
those who voted for it that the
87th Congress does not intend to
act seriously on any civil rights
legislation.”
This was the judgement of N/
ACP Secretary Roy Wilk'ns i
I telegrams to Senate Majoril'
Leader Mike Mansfield and 22
other Democratic and Republican
Senators prior to the vote. .
"By burying (this issue) in
tha rules committee," the |4AA
CP wira »ta ’'M, "this Congress
Is laying the basis for blocking
any acfiion to change the rules
at the beginning of the 83t!i
Congress In January, 1963."
The fesr of the NAACP and of
liberal Senators of both pnrties
who fought for a > change in the
rules this month is that in Janu
ary, 1963, the new President of
the Senate, Vice President Lyn
don B. Johnson, may not rule thn*
the Senate can change rules b.v
majority vote at the opening o,
the session.
Johnson ’.las held in th' pnct
that the Senate is a cnntinuinT
body and is gov^ned by the snm'
rules from session to session, tf
h6 so rules in 1963, and if the
Senate doos not vote to ovf-rrule
him, any change in the filih'nter
rule would be subject to the "xist-
ing two-thirds requirement.
Thus, a filibuster could be con
ducted in 1963 against the mo
tion to change the filibuster rule
If by any lhanse the Senate rules
committee should bring forth a
report at this session or in 19”?
calling for a change in the present
rule, the adoption of such a re
port will require a twd-thrlds vote
of Senators present.
The NAA^ w^ire tailed the re
ferral to the rules committee a
repudiation of both Ret>ublican
and Democratic platform pledges.
The 46 votes against referral
constitued the highest number
ever secured. . ,

Negro high schools approved by
the Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary S"hools a,«
compared with 52.4 percent white
in Mississippi, to a high of 53.9
per''ent Negro and 84.1 percent
white high schools so approved in
Florida.”
In this regard, the report ob
served:
“Tlfs inferior preparatioin of
the Negro high school student in
the segregated high school of the
South helps perpetuate the pro
blem of segregation and discrim
ination. at the college level. Pro
portionately fewer academically
talented Negroes have the ediica
Honal ftwmdan'^n requjr'*'! for
success in a first-rate college. Th''
graduates of segregate and infer
ior high schools tend, therefore in
oyerwHelmihg numbers to attend,
segregated and generally inferior
colleges.”
In recommending that the Fed
eral Government consider with
holding assistance funds from
public colleges and universitio?
that discriminate, the Commissioh
emphasized that “in any stich
Federal action taken it should" bf
stipnlateri that no Fedgral agtmcy ~
or official shall be given power to
direct, supervise or control the
administration, curricula or per
sonnel of an institution operated
and maintaineKl by a Stat-p or a
political subdivision thereof.”
The only dissent from the re
commendation for withholding
funds came from Commissioner
Doyle E. Carlton, who said: “1
cannot approve the withholding
of money, coming as it does to the
Federal Government from the tax
payers of the several States, as a
club to forge any fixed pattern set
forth by a Federal agency.”
