WASHINGTON UPI — Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen’s proposals to modify the fair employment section of the civil rights bill ran into a liberal GOP challenge today in advance of a party conference on them. * Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., said in an interview he saw in some of Dirksen’s proposals “very grave difficulties” which he would point out at today’s Republican meeting. “As they stand now I will be unable to join in them," Javits said. But he stressed that Dirksen had said he was “openminded” and that the proposals might be subject to revision. Javits said the GOP conference was not likely to produce any final agreements or “consensus.” He said “other meetings" would be needed. The House-passed bill would ban discrimination in employment, unions, voting, education, public accommodations and use of federal funds. Javits said any changes in the bill, so far as he was concerned, would have to be acceptable to the bipartisan Senate group backing the measure— and to House Republicans who supported it
