Hugh Scott, R-Pa„ Joined Case, declaring that “one senator said he is now unalterably oppos ed to cloture.” The exchange came as an acri monious aftermath to the floor fight over GOP efforts to expand the investigation into the outside business activities of Baker, form er secretary to Senate Democrats. Republican support is vitally needed by the Democratic leader ship if a cloture move to force voting on the civil rights bill is to succeed. As debate resumed on civil rights, Sen. Robert C.
