He claimed that a civil rights
measure such as the one under

On RIGHTS Bills
BY Alice A. Dunnigan

Washington AMP The time
has come to make civil rights
meaningful, declared Attorney
General Herbert Brownen last
week. Il think 1876 years is long
enough TO wait to get this working
right"
The statement was made before
the Celler subcommittee Of the
House Judiciary Committee, Mon
day. Attorney General Brownell
was the first Of a long list Of wit
nesses to appear before this COM
mittee in favor OF civil rights leg
islation.
After outlining the Administra-
TONS position on the 4-point civil
rights measure introduced by Rep.
Kenneth Heating r. N. y
Brownen told newspaper and tele-
vision reporters that he was happy
to see the House begin hearings on
this bill early in the session.
He hoped that they would soon
take action so that the measure
could be sent to the senate in
plenty Of time for action. Law en-
forcement is an important part Of
implementing civil rights TO all
citizens, said the Attorney Cen
eral but an educational program
would help.
The Heating bin calls for the
creation Of a bipartisan commits
sion 10 investigate asserted viola
tons Of the law in the field Of civil
rights. especially involving right
20 vote. II recommends the crea-
ton Of a civil rights division in the
Department Of Justice.
II provides for new laws to
aid in the enforcement of voting
rights. And calls for an amend
ment Of the laws so as TO permit
the federal government TO seek
from the civil courts preventive
relief in civil rights cases.
Cong. James Roosevelt Appears

One Of the chief witnesses OF
Tuesday was Roy wilkins, execu

testified for % national organiza

The NAACP favored the Gel
Ter bill, but stated that II would
