Текст песни 7 O'lock News/silent Night

This is the early evening edition of the news.
The recent fight in the House of Representatives was over the
open housing section of the Civil Rights Bill.
Brought traditional enemies together but left the defenders of
the measure without the votes of their strongest supporters.

President Johnson originally proposed an outright ban covering
discrimination by everyone for every type of housing but it had
no chance from the start and everyone in Congress knew it.
A compromise was painfully worked out in the House Judiciary Committee.
In Los Angeles today comedian Lenny Bruce died of what was believed
to be an overdose of narcotics.
Bruce was 42 years old.
Dr. Martin Luther King says he does not intend to cancel plans
for an open housing march Sunday in the Chicago suburb of Cicero.

Cook County Sheriff Richard Ogleby asked King to call off the
march and the police in Cicero said they would ask the National
Guard to be called out if it is held.
King, now in Atlanta, Georgia, plans to return to Chicago Tuesday.
In Chicago, Richard Speck, accused murderer of nine student nurses,
was brought before a grand jury today for indictment.
The nurses were found stabbed and strangled in their Chicago apartment.
In Washington the atmosphere was tense today as a special subcommittee
of the House Committee on Un-American Activities continued its
probe into anti-Viet Nam war protests.
Demonstrators were forcibly evicted from the hearings when they
began chanting anti-war slogans.
Former Vice-President Richard Nixon says that unless there is
a substantial increase in the present war effort in Viet Nam,
the U.S. should look forward to five more years of war.
In a speech before the Convention of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars in New York, Nixon also said opposition to the war in this
country is the greatest single weapon working against the U.S.

That's the 7 o'clock edition of the news, good night.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
