Democrats
Again Heck|ed
On Rights Issue
BY the Associated Press

Republican Senators heckled
Democratic presidential and
vice presidential candidates
about civil rights today.
The Democratic nominees,
Senator Kennedy and Senate
Majority Leader johnson, ig-
nored the Republican challenge
that they employ drastic tao
tics to shut of a potential
filibuster.
Senator Cooper, Republican
Of Kentucky. led the assault.
He proposed that Senators
Kennedy and johnson revive a
two-point civil rights bill killed
by the Senate Monday on a
54-28 vote that followed party
lines closely.
All but four participating
Democrats voted to shelve the
bill on the grounds that to
bring it up would provoke a
Southern filibuster and end
chances of passing other legis-
lation in a session it is planned
to end before Labor Day.
Senator Cooper said the Dem
ocrats had put up a smoke
screen that we can't even look
at this subject without ob-
structing the work of he
Senate"
He contended that If the
Democratic leaders would join
in bringing in a cloture petit
tion a compact civil rights bill
could be passed without dis
rupting the legislative schedule.
Under the cloture procedure,
two thirds of those voting
would have to approve to limit
talk.
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York, backed Senator
Cooper's proposal. He said that
if the Democrats don't pass a
bill in this session their strong
platform declaration on civil
rights will become "a hollow
mockery of partisan preten-
sion."
Senator Javits and Senator
Bush, Republican of Connecti-
cut, said the least the Demo-
Gratis could do would be to
clear the way for passage of
the two-point bill.
1t would provide for the Gre
alton Of commission to super
wise equal job opportunities on

financing aid for school dis
tricts desegregating under the

During the nearly six years
he has been in Office, Gov.
Hodges has established a repu-
tation as a moderate on the
civil rights issue and has at
tracted widespread attention
by his efforts to bring new in
dustries into North Carolina.
His efforts to build a broader
industrial base for the State
have taken two forms. For one
thing, he has worked to attract
outside interests in establish
ing branch plants and offices
in North Carolina.
Aided Small Business
In a more important way,
according to the Governors
friends here, he has encour-
aged North Carolinians to
establish new indsutrieS on
their own. In line with this
undertaking, he got the North
Carolina Legislature to estab-
lish a State Development Cor
poration to lend money to
small industries.
All the capital for the cor
poration was furnished by in
dustries in the State and by
individuals. Tax money was
not used for this purpose. The
corporation, with a small CAPT.
talization. obtained the help
of local banks in financing d
variety of small businesses.
Gov. Hodges, a native OF
Virginia, was graduated from
the University of North Caro-
