THERELL BE MORE TROUBLE
OVER CIVIL RIGHTS" ISSUE
BY BILL WHITLEY

FIGHT. The Southerners won
the first round of the bitter civil
rights battle in Congress, but all
agree that the 1857 war on the hot
issue is far from over.
"Things don't look good at all
from the long range point of view."
according to Senator w. Ker1
Scott.
"The Administration has the
votes any time it cares to pick
them up on a civil rights bill,''
Scott said.
PRESIDENT. In a strong state
nent opposing what he called "a
determined effort" to enact "poli-
tical' civil rights legislation, Scott
said President Eisenhower has
worked both sides of the street
on the ISSUE"
All of the noise about civil rights
legislation is stirring up snakes"
Scott said. "If they will just leave
us alone in the South, we can work
out our own problems. The ones
who are making the most noise
don't know how serious this thing
is"
FUTURE. AS this session If
Congress progresses, Scott feels IN
creased efforts will be made to en-
act some sort of civil rights pro-
gram.
In all, the Tar Heel Senator
feels that chances are fewer this
year for stopping all civil rights
legislation.

erners, there seemed to be no rest
