The house rules committee met and adjourned witii- out acting on a motion designed to bring the legislation to a vote on the House floor. Chairman Smith (D-Va) announced later the committee woyld consider a civil rights bill immediately after the Easter recess, which is to end April 29.

He predicted the committee would approve it, saying two-thirds of the committee favor it. Smith opposes the hill but he said he recognizes facts of Rep. Bolling (D-Mo), who is striving for a vote, had said earlier he could see no practical way to force committee action before the recess. If the committee approves the bill, it would be cleared for House action. Delay In Senate, Too In the Senate, the Judiciary Committee gathered with civil rights proposals on its schedule.

Not enough members showed up to do business, however, and this meant another delay as the committee adjourned for lack of a quorum until next Monday. The delays amounted to another victory for Southern members of Congress who are fighting the proposals.

Schachtler of Imperial, was injured in a one-car accident March 21. Schachtler had been hospitalized at Culbertson, since the mishap at the junction of Highways 6 and 34 west of Culbertson.
