Presidential nominees have been more liberal in recent years on civil rights than members of their respective parties in Congress, according to R. Wallace Brewster, professor of political science. Brewster said the tendency toward liberalism exists because the kind of person norni-. naled and elected President re-j fleets urban pressures rather than'; the heavily over-represented rural areas ! This year, he said, the past rec ords of Kennedy and Nixon will be a more significant index to civil rights attitudes than will their platform. Congress can “undo" platforms, no matter who wins, while it often works specifically according to the President’s intention to pass or veto d measure. Realizing the aitilude of the president helps measures get passed in Congress, he said, be cause Congressmen often cross parly lines to help each other pass or kill legislation. Brewster cited as an example the fact that conservative Repub licans and conservative Demo crats sometimes form temporary coalitions or ‘‘blocs’’ on specific measures.

No national declaration of pol | icy has been made on desegrega tion by either party. The Civil Rights bill which was passed only gives Congress the power to make civil rights laws.
