Speaking at the Freedom Fund

Mr.. wilkins charged that Senate
Majority Leader Mike Mansfield
postponed debate on rules change
until the final week of the session
when everyone wants to 60 home
and when wild scramble was on
to clean up business and get favo-
rite legislation through"
Moreover, he went on, the Mon
tana Democrat simultaneously
called up the question of cloture"
and "filed a petition to close de-
bate on the motion to take up the
actual issue of a change of the
rule. Under the procedure, such a
petition must be voted upon two
days after being offered.
"Thus, in two short days the
legislative protection Of the ordI-
nary, garden variety of civil rights
of -20, Geo. 900 American citizens was
brushed off. :"
The NAACP leader noted that
both Ohio senators, Frank P. Laus-

for cloture. Senator Mansfield, he
pointed out, served notice 'that
he did not intend to bring up the
rules change in 1862, so that post

In a petition filed with the court

Marcus, both Of New York City,

to set the Virginia statute aside as
an unconstitutional abridgment of

Fourteenth Amendment.
The challenged law, passed in
1856 by the General Assembly of
Virginia as part of the states

would bar the NAACP and its local

the costs and providing counsel in
