Eisenhower
Offers Compromise
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON Wt—President
Eisenhower said today he cannot
imagine any circumstances which
would induce him to send federal
troops to enforce civil rights—in
cluding school integration.
Simultaneously, he opened the
way to a compromise that might
bar the attorney general from act
ing on his own to enforce deseg
regation of schools. This section
of the administration civil rights
j bill has been bitterly contested
by the south.
Eisenhower’s comments were
made under questioning at a news
conference. He renewed his state
ment of last night that he wants
lour objectives met in any civil
rights bill the Senate passes.
Those objectives include en
| forement, without jury trial, of
| voting rights and similar enforce
; ment of “other civil rights.
The news conference was held
| as the Senate moved into an all
| out fight on the merits of the bill,
I after voting late yesterday to take
| up the legislation.
