In announcing his new program

he would like to feel that there is
no American opposition to the adj

fairness to opinions. he stated,
let us admit, nevertheless" that

According to Mr.. Hendrix, some
people feel that full extension of
these rights will come only through
Federally enacted and enforced leg
islation. Others believe that the
problem must be solved at local
and state levels" In order to take
inventory on Civil Rights, the
young commentators plans to inter.
