Charged With
Running Out On
Civil Rights Issue

New York, Aug. 8.-President
Eisenhower and the Republican

ISSUE" by NAACP Executive Sec
rotary Roy Wilkins.
Wilkins referred to the 1913
vote of the House Judiciary Com
mittee on July % to kill language
of the civil rights bill authoriz-
ing, "the Attorney General to act
in all types of denial of civil
rights" At present, the Attorney
Generals office is empowered only
to act in situations where citizens
are deprived of their voting rights.
Celebrating on the stricken por-
tion of the bill, Wilkins said that,
"the Republicans supported this
language in the 1856 and 1857
bills and the party leadership made
it a part of the 1856 campaign
platform.
'Under pressure of their ultra
conservative wing" Wilkins con-
tinued, "the Republicans have thus
repudiated their stand Of 1856 and
have gone backwards on civil
rights to 1866.
Southern Democrats have only
nine members on the committee.
By themselves they could never
have struck out the language,
which means they received help
