New tutional rights.” Following the southern vic tory in eliminating Part 111, attention in aWshington was again focused on Part IV and efforts of southern Democrats to weaken it by providing for jury trials in contempt cases growing out of violations of federal court orders against interfering with the right to vote. The defeat of Part 111 fol lowed failure of the President to support it forthrightly when questioned about it in his press conference of July 17. South erners, encouraged by the Pre sident's uncertainty, renewed their efforts to eliminate the section of the bill which would have provided protection of a wide range of civil rights. Efforts to get the President to come out with a strong state ment in support of Part IV and against the crippling jury trial amendment were being initiated in aWshington in the hope of holding Republican senators firmly in line on his crucial issue. Hope was expressed that he would make his position clear. erty to the federal government. “This monument is a valu able addition to the national park system,” Seaton said. “It commemorates a great man whose ideals have left an indel ible imprint and whose life es tablished for his race a pattern of advancement founded on the basic virtues of honesty, indus try, thrift and interracial har mony."
