An extension of the life of the Civil Rights Commission, scheduled to end its activities in November, will be asked of Congress by the Kennedy Administration, it was reported today.
The Commission was created in 1957 for a two-year term and extended in 1959 by Congress for another two years. It was indicated that the Administration has always assumed that the Commission would be continued and that civil rights officials in the Administration simply had not yet got around to putting a request before Congress.
