Barnett Criticizes
Civil Rights Acts
By ANDRA TAYLOR
Mississippi Gov, Ross Barnett Thursday night denounced
President Kennedy’s Civil Rights proposals as “ . . . a new
form of tyranny” which will “surely add the finishing blow
to the foundation stone upon which our Constitution, our
laws and society firmly rest.”

constitutional government as
we have known it since the
birth of this nation,” the gov
ernor said.
“A state that loses the right
to exercise exclusive Jurisdic
tion over its own local affairs
loses its political soul and its
citizens have lost their most
valuable freedom," Barnett
shouted.
