Johnson of Texas came assurances the Eisenhower sug gestions "will be considered on their merits by fair minded men seeking to resolve rather than sharpen the conflicts within our country." Yet trouble obviously lies ahead to begin with, in hearings a Senate judiciary subcommittee is starting march on assorted civil rights measures. But then, the administration had trouble itself in whipping the pro gram together. Reportedly stripped away at the last momentw as a provision allow ing the federal government to in tervene more directly in suits in tended to enforce segregation. This (Se CIVIL RIGHTS, eol. 4, page 3,' WASHINGTON UP) President Eisenhower asked a divided Con gress yesterday to make it a fed eral crime to use force or mob violence to block racial integration of schools under court orders. The President also asked the leg islators to strengthen the FBI's hand in dealing with school and church bombing cases and to authorize fed eral funds and advice to help states make the change to desegregated schools. These were key proposals in a seven-point civil rights program submitted to congress in a brief, special message. The Justice, Wel- are and Labor Departments im mediately followed through with the dispatch of seven bills to the capi- tol. Reaction was cut to a familiar pattern the Eisenhower civil rights program either goes too far or not far enough, depending on whether a southern segregationist or a north ern liberal is talking. And then there are the in-betweens, largely staunch administration supporters from GOP ranks, who said it was just right. Southerners called the program offensive, a form of bribery, and an intrusion into a field where the federal government has no business. Sen. Richard D. Russell (D-GA), a leader of Senate southerners, said Eisenhower offers political legisla- jDorm Men's n, Paul Woodard- Town Men's m, Ed Levy, and Town Men"s TV, Gary Greer.

He predicted significantly that "a vigorous effort will be made to amend any civil rights bill that reaches the floor with punitive pro visions requesting that the South be pz.tror.ed, policed and punished." From the opposite camp, chair man Emanuel Celler (D-NY) of the House Judiciary Committee com mented: . J "An empty gesture so far as the schools are concerned. It provides a snail's pace for enforcement." Various Reublicans called the pro gram temperate and moderate, as Eisenhower himself did in advance of its submission.
