WILL ASK SUPPORT
Expect President To Sign
Civil Rights Bill July 4
WASHINGTON (NC)—Presi
dent Johnson is exptetedtoslgn
the historic civil rights bill in
to law on July 4 with an appeal
that forces mobilized in Its sup
port stay active to urge compli
ance with it.
The President's anticipated
appeal has been foreshadowed
in several statements, includ
ing some to religious groups
which vigorously backed the
legislation on its year-long
journey through Congress.
ONLY PIVE days before the
bill's passage in the Senate, Mr.
Johnson told an interfaith group
from New York: "Certainly the
nation's religious leaders can
play a very key role in creating
an attitude of compliance when
the bill is enacted."
After the bill's Senate pas
sage, the Chief Executive com
mented that the measure "will
enlist one of the most powerful
moral forces of American so
ciety on the side of civil rights
—the moral obligation to re
spect and obey the law of the
land."
THE MEASURE, the most
sweeping civil rights legisla
tion since the Reconstruction
era, passed the Senate June 19
by a 73 to 27 vote after 83 days
of debate. Tense galleries broke
into applause when the voce tal
ly was announced.
Nine days before, the Senate
voted 71 to 29 to limit furthex
debate, a history-making clo
ture vote. The final vote came
on the first anniversary of the
late President Kennedy's mes
sage proposing the legislation.
It passed the House Peb. 10.
THE 11-TITLE bipartisan
bill outlaws racial and other
discrimination and calls for
equal opportunities in voting,
public accommodations, educa
tion, public facilities and pri-

vate employment.
The measure approved by the
Senate is a substitute for the
one approved by the House. But
it follows the general lines of
the House bill and House lead
ers said they will accept the
Senate version, confidently pre
dicting that it will be cleared
for the President by July 4.
PROMINENT in the ranks of
supporters of the bill were or
ganizations representing the
nation's major churches, align
ed in a historic cooperative un
dertaking that saw the develop
ment of varied forms of support
from big interreligious rallies
to the silent, 24-hour-a-day
vigil maintained by seminarians
near the Lincoln Memorial
here.
Support of religious groups
came to the bill in its earliest
stages. At initial Congressional
hearings, a joint statement of
support was presented by the
social action and racial action
departments of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference,
the National Council of Chur
ches and the Synagogue Council
of America.
IN CATHOLIC ranks, there
was strong support for the leg
islation from individual pre
lates and groups of bishops,
such as those in Michigan, New
Mexico and Pennsylvania.
Principal provisions of the
bill are:
—Voting: Registrars must
apply uniform standards to all
seeking to vote. Rejection of ap
plicants for minor errors on
their forms is barred. Literacy
tests must be in writing and a
sixth-grade education is pre
sumed enough to make a person
literate. Applies only to Fed
eral elections. Provides means
to speed up court litigation of
voting cases.
—Public accommodations:
Discrimination barred in ho
tels, motels, restaurants, gas
oline stations and places of
amusement if the goods they
handle move in interstate com
merce or if local laws purport
to require segregation.
EXEMPTED are private clubs
and owner - occupied rooming
houses with five or fewer
rooms. An individual subject
to discrimination can seek re-

Pope Remains Silent Over
Eucharistic Congress Plans
ROME (^C)— Speculation con
tinues here over whether Pope
Paul VI will go to Bombay,
India, in November for the In
ternational Eucharistic Con
gress.
EVER SINCE the Pope made
his pilgrimage to the Holy Land
last January there has been
speculation here over the pos
sibility of him going by plane
to Bombay for the congress.
An invitation to make the trip
already has been extended to
him by the Indian government
but up until now there has been
no authoritative information
regarding the Pope's reaction
to the invitation.
After the audience with the
Pope, Cardinal Gracias
authorized a statement which
said: "During the audience, it
must be clearly stated, the
Holy Father did not reveal hla
mind as to whether he intends
to travel to Bombay or not for
the International Eucharistic
Congress, That is a matter best
left entirely to hla judgment
and not to press speculations,"
THE ARCHBISHOP of Bom
bay came here during a three-
week visit to France, Belgium,
Holland and Italy to rally in*
terest in the Eucharistic Con
gress among bishops and lay
groups of those countries.
"What was clear during the
whole audience, which was en
tirely connected with the In
ternational Eucharistic Con
gress," the Cardinal's state
ment continued, 'Vas his more
than practical interest in the
success of the congress,"
