Opponents
At Rights Bill Hearing
WASHINGTON (®.—The mayor of Atlanta and the governor of
South Carolina took opposing sides Friday on a bill to outlaw
racial discrimination in hotels, restaurants and other public ac-
commondations.
Gov. Donald Russell of South
Carolina denounced the adminis-
tration-backed measure as “‘co-
ercive legislation’ which he
said “will breed resistance and
perhaps violence.”
PROBLEM FOR ALL
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of At
Janta said federal legislation
would help advance voluntary
desegration. He said racial dis-
crimination is an all-American
problem requiring an all-Ameri-
can solution, and if Congress
does not pass the bill it would
“amount to an indorsement of
private business setting up an
entirely new status of discrimi-
nation throughout the nation.”
The two southern officials tes-
tified at a hearing of the Senate
Commerce Committee which was
enlivened by a row between act-
ing chairman Pastore (Dem.),
Rhode Island and Senator Thur-
mond (Dem.), South Carolina.
LOADED QUESTIONS
Senator Pastore accused Sen-
ator Fhurmond of asking Mr.
Allen “Joaded” and “‘when-did-
you-stop-beating-your-wife”’ type
of questions and declared he was
not going to stand for intimida-
tion and embarrassment of the
witness,
Senator Thurmond, an oppo-
nent of the civil rights bill, said
he resented the characterization
and was not going to have a
“gag” imposed.
