Civil Rights
Continued From FIRST PageO

the three civil rights bills. The
others, which are in the hands
of the Judiciary Committee, deal
with banning the poll tax and
anti-lynching.
Proviso Termed Important.
Senator Humphrey stressed the
Importance of a proviso in the
FEPC bill, which would enable the
commission by agreement to give
State or local agencies jurisdiction
over any cases of alleged discrimi-
nation, even though they involve
charges of unlawful practice under
the Federal law. He said this was
a step toward recognizing the
States rights principle.
The House has reported the bill
from committee.
Senator Eastland was named to
the Craftsmanship of the Judiciary
subcommittee on civil rights by
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada, chairman of the full COM
mittee.
He succeeds to the post left va
cant when j. Howard McGrath
resigned from the Senate to be-
come Attorney General.
It is through this subcommittee
that much of the Presidents civil
rights program must clear. The
three-member group handles all
segregation and anti-lynch bills.
Asked what disposition would
be made of civil rights bills now
pending before the subcommittee
and whether there will be further
hearings on the so-called omnibus
civil rights bill, Senator Eastland
replied:
"You may quote me as saying
no comment
At his news conference today,
President Truman had no COM
ment on the Eastland appoint
ment.
Senator Eastland has been a
member of the subcommittee. 1t
has held extensive hearings on the
administration backed omnibus
bill. The subcommittee has taken
no action on it.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, OF
Tennessee was named to the sub
committee to succeed Mr.. Nc
Grath. The third member Of the
group is Senator LANCER.
