PAGE 8 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1964 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.

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.

Phana TR t-osia — At 10th St. 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.
