aniti-zed, - , {roved For Release:: Cl FOIAb3b ooCivi1 Rights \ (urge Denie By Donovan cratic-Liberal candidate for the U. S. Senate, denied yes- terday that he had ever said the nation did not need addi- tional civil rights legislation. "Abc ve all," Mr. Donovan told a Histradut luncheon at the Hotel Astor, "we need courageous enforcement of civil rights 'laws passed 100 years ago." Mr. Donovan told the His-. tadrut group, which sponsors educational and medical proj- ects in Israel, that Israeli-Arab problems could not be solved by "more back=slapping trips by politicians." The situation demanded "some one with a permanent interest in the State of Israel," he said. He also said that "every con- stitutional means' should be ex- plored so that school children and their parents can be aided" in financing education. Mr Donovan campaigned last night in Albany before re- turning here. 100 CPYRGHT Sanitized - Approved For Release : CIA-RDP75-00001 R000100390090-6
