The meeting will be held in the basement of the Capitol, It is expected the commission will recommend that the state hold an exposition, with Western states and countries bordering the Pacific invited to take part. ranny "Tonight is the end," said Chairman Cellcr (D-NY). The hearings, scheduled to last only four days when they were started nearly a month ago, have been twice extended to accommodate Southerners. Thurmond said: "In other countries tyranny has taken the forms of fascism, com munism and absolute monarchy. I do not want to see it foisted on the American people under the alias of civil rights. "Real civil rights and so-called civil rights should not be con fused. Everybody favors human rights. But it is a fraud on the American people to pretend that' human rights can long endure without constitutional restraint on the power of government." The bouth Carolina lawmaker said the civil rights proposals un der study by the subcommittee would "legalize, expand and ex tend" attempts by the federal government to usurp power. Congress by attempting to en act these so-called civil rights bills is invading the rights of the states," Thurmond added. He said he would favor action "to regain for the states some of the power previously lost in un warranted assaults on the states by the federal government." The former South Carolina gov ernor said he believed laws relat ing to civil rights could be more intelligently handled on the local levels of government because "state and county officials know the people and know the problems of the people." The subcommittee plans to start drafting a civil rights bill as soon as the hearings end. The Southern viewpoint also was presented yesterday by spokes men from Texas and Arkansas. Both attacked the proposals as a federal invasion of state and local authority.
