Thur., June 20, 1963 Bitter Congressional Fight Looms Over Tough Civil Rights Program WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy's tough new civil rights program touched off in Congress today what promised to be one of the bitterest legislative battles in decades. Not even the staunchest back ers of the President's many pronged approach to the boiling race crisis believed Congress would buy it anywhere near in tact. At first glance, some of the proposals he sent the House and Senate Wednesday appeared like ly to be passed after only per functory polishing. Others, includ ing some of the key items, looked as if they would be chewed to pieces. As Congress dug in for Ihc leg- North Umpqua Work Causing Three Detours Road Improvements in the North Umpqua area are forcing three de-1 tours this summer.

Southerners were so angry they threatened not only a filibuster but use of their long-held com miltee chairmanships to bottle up the rest of Kennedy's legislative program. Although the President painted the nation's civil rights needs with a fairly broad brush, inter est was focused on a handful of specific requests. First among these was Kenne dy's call for a new law to forbid racial discrimination in hotels, stores, theaters, restaurants and other places of "public accom modation." This seemed sure to furnish the principal battleground for the 19G3 civil rutins tignt. Willi differing details, the pub lie accommodations measure had bipartisan support and a fairly good chance of House passage. But it did not have top-level GOP backing in the Senate and its fate there in the face of a certain southern filibuster was considered doubtful. Another more familiar civil rights measure with a dim future was a Fair Employment rrac ticcs Commission (FEPC). A House labor subcommittee Wed ncsday approved such a bill, dc signed to outlaw job discrimina tion in private business. Had Committee Backing The bill had substantial bipar tisan backing .In the committee. but odds against its final enact ment are prohibitive, mis mcas ure is to be considered separate ly from Ihe rest of the admini stratum's civil rights package.

Commission (FCC) in recent ! years has been encouraging sta J lions to editorialize on the ground ! that it could elevate the quality ; of programming. But apparently many politicians especially those in office are upset at what they feel it an abuse of the privilege. During debate in the House Wednesday on a related matter, several members denounced broadcast editorializing. The crit icism was intense at times. Rep. John Bennett, R-Mich., said "(here are broadcasters who criticize one party and defend another, who criticize one candi date and defend another, all un der the guise of editorializing." Rep. Harley Staggers, D-W.Va.,'' spoke of the "unfair tactics" o( broadcasters, who he said al lowed attacks on an office holder but did not allow him free time to reply. During the debate Commerce Committee Chairman Oren Har ris, D-Ark., said one of his sub committees would start hearings on the subject July 15. Rep. Walter Rogers, D-Tex., chairman of the subcommittee, said he has received at least 20 complaints from congressmen of both parties. Under the FCC's "general fair ness" doctrine, broadcasters are supposed to seek out comment from both sides of controversial issues. In addition, the so-called "equal time" rule requires that all political candidates be af forded equal broadcast time. Rogers said there was a "gray area" as to the legrj application of these two rules. ;ls indicated that Ihe subcommittee will look into this. The basis for Wednesday com ment on the floor was the House's debate and passage of a measure to suspend the "equal time" rule for the 1964 presidential and vice presidential campaigns. A similar waiver in 1960 permitted the four televised Kenncdy-Nixon debates.
