passed bill intact. He said
amendments, including one TO
require jury trials in contempt
cases. should have consideration.
Hasn't Seen Amendments
MY position is that the Sem
ate has the right to legislate on
this bill" he said. II have not
seen any amendments yet that /
would support. but that does not
necessarily mean that some may
not be produced that would be-
come acceptable"
The House defeated proposed
major amendments to the bill,
including one which would have
provided jury trials for defend
ants in contempt cases involv-
ing violations of civil rights in
functions.
] Proponents of the bill have
contended that such a provision
would nullify the proposed au-
thority of the Attorney General
to 60 into court for an injunc-
ton to prevent interference, or
threatened interference, in the
exercise of voting and other
civil rights. They contend
Southern juries would not con-
vict defendants in such con-
tempt cases.
Opposes Jury Clause
Senator Knowland made it
clear he would oppose any broad
provision requiring jury trials
in all cases growing out of the
law. But he said he would
consider" a narrow applica-
ton of this principle. if an
amendment can be worked out.
Senator Russell, captain of
the Dixie forces opposing the bill.
said Senator Knowland's will
ingneSS to consider some amend
ments was encouraging. But
Senator Russell made it plain he
doesn't believe any amendment
could make the measure ac-
ceptable to him.
MY intention is to amend this
bill If possible, but to defeat 1t
in any event." he said.
Senator Douglas, Democrat of
Illinois, one of the bills sponsors.
SAID he is not inclined to retreat
from the terms of the House
measure.
This bill does not add any
new rights" he said. What it
does it to provide an additional
remedy to prevent the existing
rights from being violated"
1T is a moderate measure and
l see no reason for amending it. :"
