Senator Russell "gave 'em the works" on the public accombul,
pµ a rently ,
Ln exmodation portion of the bill. The main argument the Senator
cho.u
or gunli1· in front uf the
makes against this portion of the bill is that it would be an enhome of or. Robert B. Mayling, a
croachment on the property and individual rights of certain proNegro dentist .
prietors of businesses. This is true·, but it is also true that all lows
affect one or both of these rights.
However; the main po_int we would like to make · th some
cities and states have already on J he ir books lows
ic Orbid .\
a proprietor from accommodating or serving members
oth
racial groups. Have not the individual rights of those lndlvlduals
who might have desired to serve members of both races without
discrimil'\ation been encroached upon? We have never known our
senior senator to eve r oppose a law requiring seijregation at the
c:1ty, state or national le vels. So it seems that segregation laws
have al ready encroached upon the individual a l)d property rights
of many citizens.
Mor,pvp.r while we are on th is subject of en~achment, w e 1
are reminde ,of the, many f ili busters in the Senate in which our.
sonator has articipated. Boiled down, is not a filibu ster on effort
to
expression by other members of that
It not
it
ment on their individual rights?
Rights bills are now pending before th• ongress
an
ould be given due study and consideration and passed by that body. In our opinion, they are needed to put our nation
in line _w ith the true meaning of the Declaration of Independence.
