Old Alliance
In Congress To
Keep Filibuster
WASHINGTON (IP! An
old alliance of Republicans
and southern Democrats
was poised today to smash a
new attempt to put teeth in
the Senate’s anti-filibuster
rule.
The attempt was launched by a
motion offered by Sen. Clinton P.
Anderson (D-N. M.) less than an
hour after the 83rd Congress con
vened last Saturday.
By argreement, debate on the An
derson motion was postponed until
mid-afternoon today - when the
Senate returns from its joint ses
sion with the House to count the
presidential electoral votes.
HOPE FOR VOTE
Senate Republican Leader Rob
ert A. Taft told reporters that he
hopes to bring the issue to a vote
late Wednesday.
The Anderson motion, calling on
the Senate to adopt new rules,
rejects the historic theory that the
Senate is a continuing body and
need not adopt new rules at the
opening of each Congress.
Southern Democrats, who are
concerned about protecting then
right to filibuster against “civil
rights” bills, conceded the Ander
son motion no more than 25 to 30
votes. And backers of the-proposal
