man Emanuel Celler, New York
Democrat, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee and co-auth-
or of the 1965 civil rights bill,
warned here Tuesday that black
nationalist and other "sinister in-
fluences" among Negro groups
"can very well sabotage efforts
to pass a forceful and meaningful
civil rights bill of 1966."
Speaking to a dinner meeting of
the American Jewish Committee,
at the Americana Hotel, Congress-
men Celler singled out groups
such as the Black Muslims and the
Black Panthers and writers such
as Le Roi Jones and James Bald-
win as practitioners of "racism
in reverse."
He stressed that because of
these forces some congressmen
"who have a passionate concern
for Negro rights are saying priv-
ately, if not yet publicly, that we
should forget about the civil rights
bill of 1966.
