PRESIDENT EISENHOWER SENDS
SEvEN.P0INT CIVIL RIGHTS
PROGRAM TO CONGRESS
!njunetive Powers For Department
Justice In Rights Cases Omitted
Greatest Emphasis On Right To Vote
Rather Than School Issue

Washington, d. c., Feb. g.
President Eisenhower sent a seven
point civil rights program to Con-
gress which omitted controversial
proposals to give the Justice De-
partment power to seek injunc-
tions or file civil suits in civil
rights cases.
The President said the measure
should continue the substantial
progress that has taken place in
the past few years"
The Presidents program thus
falls between the mild proposal of
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson CD
of Texas, Senate Majority Leader,
and the sitter program recon-
mended by Senator Paul H. Doug
las CD of Illinois and other liberal
senator's.
The Douglas group was disap-
pointed that the Eisenhower pro-
posal omitted the injunction and
the civil suit features.
Every individual, regardless Of
his race, religion, or national
origin, is entitled to the equal
protection of the laws" Mr.. Eisen-
hover said in his letter of trans

Rev. N. |. King
Says No TO
Russian Visit

New York, N. Y, Feb. 7.-Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., announced
today that he will not visit the
Soviet Union following his visit
to India as he had earlier an
nounced.
He said that although he has
made excellent progress since he
was stabbed, the state of his health
and the urgency of the racial con-
flict in the South indicated that
the trip to the Soviet Union must
be reluctantly postponed at this
time.
DR.. King will arrive at New
Delhi on February 7th at the in
vitation of the Gandhi Trust ac-
companied by his wife and DR..
Lawrence Reddick Of Alabama
State College, Montgomery, and
will meet with such Indian leaders
as Prime Minister Nehru and vi
noba Bhave.
Mr.. King had planned to spend
several weeks consulting with
Christian. leaders in the Soviet
Union following his stay in India.
Funds for the trip to Russia had
been donated last December by
the American Baptist Convention
in keeping with a resolution passed
at the denominations 1866 An
nual Meeting. The resolution
called for the establishment Of
Christian fellowship across ma
tional boundaries as q step toward
understanding and peace in our
troubled world.
Mindful Of the importance Of
the quest for peace, DR.. King plans
to visit the Soviet Union at q
future date when his health and
conditions in the South permit him
doing 50.
