Says Sen, Kenneth Wherry
WASHINGTON —The bill to outlaw the poll tax passed by
the House ot Representatives July 21. has a ‘'good chance” of being
enacted into law by the Senate, according to majority whip Kenneth
Wherry (Reb-Neb,). Senator Wherry endorsed the legislation and
added that it must be b; aught up re ly in the session next winter.
H. R, 29 the Bender anti-poll tax bill was brought up ijn the
House in a sui prist move under suspension of the rules. The poll
taxe! tried every tactic possible under this rule to prevent a vote,
but succeeded only in delaying it an hour or so. A strong combina
tion of Republicans and Northern Democrats passed the bill by
i vote of 290 112, many more than the two thirds required.
