Senate Contemplates Civil Rights After House Passes Legislation
WASHINGTON,—(UPI)—Highlights of the civil rights bill passed by the House and now pending before the Senate:
VOTING (TITLE 1) — For voting in federal elections, outlaws discriminatory registration tests or standards; requires literacy tests, if used, to be written examinations; establishes a sixth grade education as a legal "presumption of literacy"; allows either the justice department or voting officials to demand trial of voting suits by three-judge federal courts; directs courts to expedite voting cases.
PUBLIC (TITLE 2) tion based or national
ACCOMMODATIONS
— Outlaws discrimination on race, color, religion origin against customers
of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants and other eating places, theaters, sports arenas and other places of entertainment. Specified businesses covered if activities "affect" interstate commerce, or practice discrimination under protection of state or local law, custom or tradition. Private clubs, small rooming houses and retail stores, unless connected with covered establishments, are exempted. The attorney general would give local officials "reasonable time" to act before intervening.
DESEGREGATION (TITLES 3 & 4)—Authorizes the Justice Department to initiate suits to desegregate public schools and parks, libraries and other publicly-owned, operated
or managed facilities. Permits the Justice Department to intervene in individuals, suits charging denial of equal protection of law because of race, color, religion or national origin. Permits U.S. Office of Education to give financial and technical assistance to school districts seeking to meet problems of desegregation.

CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION (TITLE 5) - Life of commission extended for four years until Sept. 30, 1968; new authority granted to act as civil rights information clerking house, and to investigate vote frauds.
Washington — (UPI)— Summer will be pressing close and politically hot before the Senate has worked its will on the civil rights bill.
Time Short for Senate
By William Theis
mittee chairman, faculty firesides chairman, current events discussion chairman, African studies group chairman, office staff chairman, world university service committee chairman, and voter education program chairman.
And "working its will" may have several meanings — more likely to be shaped by outside events than by the months of Senate debate.
The current cabinet is discussing other possible programs for next year such as marriage counseling discussion group, community service, and a freshman camp.
LEGISLATORS' EARS are attuned to events outside the Senate chamber and the Capitol grounds. The scope of racial unrest — pressure by non-violent or violent means—is viewed as the truly uncertain factor in the civil rights struggle.
"I just don't believe the Senate, as an institution, can let its image as a responsible body be damaged by dragging this fight on into June. There are other things that have to be done in this 'session."
Few lawmakers see a real chance of the Senate completing its action on the House-passed measure before June 1. It could take longer. But as one top Republican explained:
Liberals fighting for the bill in Congress are now warning sternly against immoderate demonstrations by Negro or other pro-civil rights groups. They fear such outside events, particularly if they result in bloodshed and property damage, can only hurt the chances of enacting a strong bill.
And they see Alabama Gov. George Wallace's showing in the Wisconsin primary as a partial portent of northern defection from support of the civil rights cause.
AS IT NOW STANDS, the bill would ban racial discrimination in voting, employment, unions, education, public accommodations and
Albert H. Marckwardt, professor of linguistics at Princeton University, will speak about "The Future of English" in the next Humanities Lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser Theater.
Two more cabinet meetings will be held on May 6 and 13. Installation of new officers will be May 10.
In addition to giving the Humanities Lecture, Prof. Markwardt will speak on "Regionalism in American Speech" at a coffee forum at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
He will also speak to classes in linguistics, advanced composition, modern English grammar, American civilization, and American literature.
Besides publishing five books in the linguistics field, Prof. Marckwardt has written hundreds of articles, essays, and reviews, and has lectured on languages, literature, problems of teaching, and philosophy of education.
Noted Linguist To Speak Here
He has been a leader in the National Council of Teachers of English and in the Modern Language Association.
A visiting professor at the University of Mexico in 1943-44, Prof. Marckwardt has also been a Fulbright lecturer at the Universities of Vienna and Graz in 1953-54, and was State Department consultant in English teaching in Italy in 1954.
Cabinet members are expected to attend cabinet meetings every week, help decide major policy of the organization, report on progress in their specific areas, and volunteer to work on sub-committees. The positions are held from May, 1964 to May, 1965.
use of federal funds. It is certain to be amended, but the changes are not expected to be "crippling."
Beginning Tuesday, April 21, the KU-Y will begin accepting applications from students for cabinet positions. Interviews will be held through Thursday with the executive board and staff members.
FEDERAL FUNDS (TITLE 6) Repeals all provisions permitting "separate but equal" use of federal aid funds; rejouires federal agencies to see that state and local governments do not discriminate with government aid; permits funds to be cut off if discrimination does not stop.
The strategy of the bill's supporters is to limit revisions to those which would be acceptable to House backers, principally Rep. William McCulloch, R-Ohio, and fellow Republicans who helped draft and pass the measure.
EMPLOYMENT (TITLE 7) Ontlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin or sex in hiring and firing by employers, membership policies of labor unions and job referrals by employment agencies.
But after six weeks of Senate debate, the body is only approaching the point of considering its first amendments. Not until there have been some decisions on critical amendments, leaders contend, can there be any realistic estimates of the battle's outcome.
In the past, sub-committee chairmen have been chosen from interested students outside the Y. Next year all such activities will be handled by cabinet members.
SENATE GOP LEADER Everett M. Dirksen, Ill. introduced 10 of 11 proposed amendments to the fair employment section of the bill on April 16, and they are expected to be the first considered by the Senate.
Dirksen said his proposals, worked out in cooperation with some fellow Republicans, will not "impair, weaken or emasculate" the bill.

"This is to provide more continuity in our organization," Julie Winkler, Kansas City sophomore and co-president of the Y, said. "The cabinet will work as a steering committee and recruit as many people as it needs for other work."

Those applying for positions do not need to have had previous experience with the KU-Y. The basic criteria is to seem capable and to show enough interest to work actively in the Y program.
