South Carolina's Strom Thurmond blamed the disturbances on "Communism, false compassion, civil disobedience, court decisions and criminal instinct." When a Nashville police captain insisted that federal poverty money was paying the salary of a local Black Power agitator-a charge that poverty officials in Nashville and Washington denied-Committee Chairman James Eastland proposed an additional investigation to determine if poverty funds "are being used to promote policies that have a tendency to produce riots...
