CRC, HRC To Hear Report On Legislation
A director of the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights will address a joint meeting of the Human Rights Committee of the All Student Council and the Civil Rights Council next week on civil rights legislation presently before the Kansas Legislature.
The equal accommodations bill is an expansion of the present Kansas Public Accommodations Law.
Attorney General William F. Ferguson has been invited to assist Homer Floyd, educational director for the Kansas civil rights commission, in explaining the legislation to the groups.
The Kansas Advisory Council on Civil Rights claims that the present law is relatively ineffective because of limited coverage, inconsistent enforcement, and difficulty in obtaining a conviction for violation. It feels that a new law with an umbrella clause to cover all public accommodations would be more effective.
THE LEGISLATION deals with equal accommodations and fair housing.
THE FAIR HOUSING Bill covers housing discrimination. It would prohibit discriminatory practices in the purchase, renting, or financing of real estate on the part of the owner, broker, salesman or any
other person or company connected with the transaction.
According to the Kansas Advisory Council on Civil Rights, this bill is needed to insure decent housing for minority groups.
THE 1959 U.S. Civil Rights Commission Report listed numerous examples in Kansas of respected minority group citizens unable to secure decent, modern housing.
The CRC, in co-operation with the HRC and the Lawrence Civil Rights Commission, is working for passage of this legislation.
"We feel that the most effective way to get these measures passed is through our local representatives to the legislature," said Don Warner, Topeka senior and chairman of the CRC. "We, as students, are in residence in Lawrence three-fourths of the year, and are represented by the legislators from Lawrence."

WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Rep. Robert Ellsworth, R-Kan., charged today that President Kennedy's proposed $9 billion budget figure is a sham.
Ellsworth Calls Budget a Sham
Ellsworth said that expenditures would far exceed $100 billion if every request were enacted.
"Should Congress go along with it," the representative said, "it would
result in a federal deficit for 1964 of at least $12 billion, further increasing the national debt and creating new inflationary and price spiraling effects — effects under which Americans already are staggering."
Ellsworth added that "without a balanced budget, Kennedy's proposed tax cuts amount to nothing more than political bait."
