planned to provide nothing more
than simple justice :"

deputy assistant for Federal.
State relations, said the legisla-
ton was designed to provide this
justice in the occasional ex-

would be considered funda-
mentally humane"

rights. Mr.. Pyle said the
groundwork of what is so dis
tasteful to you has been laid by
those who professed to represent

thought civil rights legislation
would be less likely under Eisen-
hover because 1.-The President is
