Of the public accomodations bill
the chamber said it denies the has-

bidding a business man from choos-
ing his own customers. To diseri-

Herman E, Talmadge, D-Ga. said
Thursday that enactment of Pres-
ident Kennedy’s civil rights pro-
gram would produce “terror
throughout the land” and require
federal trocps for its enforcement
because it would create a “police
state,”
He said that if the President's
omnibus civil rights bill comes be-
fore the \Senate in its present
form “all who cherish our system
of government will resist it.” But
he said “no plans” had n made
for a Southern fillouster. Talmadge,

Taimadge also said it is doubt-

He said the civil rights proposals
“greatly complicate” the likelihood |
of tax action.
