Senate Passes Anti-Riot Bill
WASHINGTON UP)—The Sen
ate nailed an antiriot provision
into its civil rights bill Tuesday
and then refused to exempt in
dividual home owners from a ban
an discrimination in the sale or
rental of housing.
Over administration protests,
the Senate adopted 82 to 13 an
amendment providing for a five-
year prison term and a $10,000
fine for crossing state lines with
intent to start a riot.
Then by the narrow margin of
48 to 43 it rejected an amend
ment by Sen. Howard H. Baker
Jr., R-Tenn., which would have
removed about 29 million owner-
occupied single-family dwellings,
or about 44 per cent of the hous
ing market, from the anti-dis
crimination clause.
AS NOW written, the bill pro
vides that effective Jan. 1, 1970,
owner-occupants of single-family
homes may not discriminate if
they sell through a real estate
agent or broker. If they handled
the sale themselves they would
be free to discriminate.
Baker proposed that they be
permitted to discriminate, even
when employing an agent, so
long as they did not indicate any
racial preference or intent to dis
criminate to the broker.
“The right to discriminate,”
Baker said, “should not depend
on whether the owner employs a
broker.”
Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Ill.,
urging rejection of Baker’s pro
posal, said, “We can’t afford
prejudice and discrimination any
more in this country.”
The antiriot amendment was
pressed to adoption by Sens.
Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, and
Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. It fol
lows the general lines of a bill
the House passed 374 to 70 dur
ing last summer’s street violence.
“I DO BELIEVE,” Thurmond
said, “that firm action to punish
those who go into cities and in
cite riots will definitely alleviate
this pressing problem.”
Also adopted, 48 to 42, was an
amendment by Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge, D-Ga., making it a
federal crime to injure, intimi
date or interfere with a business
man during a riot.
Talmadge said small business
men suffered heavily in last sum
mer’s disorders.
Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich.,
floor manager for the adminis
tration-backed civil rights meas
ure, pleaded with the Senate to
wait for President Johnson’s ver
sion of antiriot legislation.
THIS ARRIVED during the
afternoon, but not before the
Senate had adopted the Lausche-
Thurmond proposal.
The administration measure
carries the same five-year, $10,-
000 fine penalties, but Atty. Gen.
Ramsey Clark said it was care
fully drawn so as not to impede
free speech or peaceful assembly.
The mere advocacy of ideas or
beliefs, Clark said, does not come
within the bill’s definition of in
citing to riot.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _
Declaring the “stakes are too
big” to allow dissension among
Republicans, Gov. Ronald Reagan
pledged Tuesday to support Nel
son Rockefeller for president if
the New York governor wins the
GOP nomination.
The California governor thus
disagreed with criticism of
Rockefeller made by Barry Gold-
water — the Republican nominee
Reagan wholeheartedly backed
in 1964.
Goldwater said Monday “I and
my fellow conservatives want no
part of Rockefeller.” The former
Arizona senator noted that
Rockefeller had not actively
backed him in 1964 and said “I
don’t know how I could support
him.”
But Goldwater said he didn’t
think that’s much of a problem,
as far as he’s concerned: he feels
Richard M. Nixon will walk off
with the presidential nomination.
The matter came up at Rea
gan's weekly news conference. A
reporter, altering Goldwater’s
statement a bit, told Reagan that
Goldwater had said he wouldn’t
support Rockefeller if he was
selected by the convention. Rea
gan was then asked “could you
support Rockefeller in that even
tuality ? ”
Reagan responded: “Yes, I’ve
told you this, I’ll support who-

ever is the nominee of the par
ty.”
Asked if Goldwater had vio
lated Reagan’s “11th command
ment-” -barring criticism of one
GOP candidate by another, the
governor replied: “We’re in one
place where Barry and I are in
disagreement. I’m sorry. I can
understand his bitterness in say
ing this. I can also wish that he
hadn’t, because I think we have
got to follow a different path.
Stakes are too big.”
