him would certainly be helpful but
the problem goes further than that.
Research is urgently needed to dis
cover new and effective methods

the blackbirds and starlings from
destroying crops without harming
other species of BIRDS and to
weigh the good they do by keep

Civil Rights Bill Goes To The
House


The compromise civil rights bill
urged by the Administration was
passed by the House Judiciary
Committee on October 20 by a
vote of 20 to IA. Earlier that morn
ing Congressman Moore of West
Virginia moved that the stronger
bill drafted by the Judiciary Sub
committee be given favorable re-
port.
| voted against the Moore mo-
ton because, over the past several
days. it had become apparent that
the Subcommittee proposal did not
have the support of the President
Without his support and the whole
hearted support of the Majority
Leadership, it would not succeed
and become law.
1t is my considered judgment
that the enactment of a just civil
rights law is necessary this year
1t was a co-SponSOr of the first
comprehensive civil rights bill in
troduced in January and l have
been working for the principle of
an effective and constitutional
measure throughout this Congress.
In the belief that the bipartisan
substitute bill offered a better hope
of real progress in civil rights legis-
lation, l decided to support it.
The bill now goes to the House
of Representatives for considera-
tion.
