VO|CFS FI[|BUSTER
Anglers HOUSE
One Mans Tactics Brings
Vehement Protest From
Members.

Members of the House, looking for
ward eagerly to the adjournment
which House Leader Mondell an
nounced it is hoped to take next Fri
day. are watching with concern the
one-man f1libuster being carried on
by Representative Voigt, republican.
Of Wisconsin.
The growing resentment OF his col
leagues at the repeated roll calls
forced by Representative Foigt on
points OF no quorum was expressed
in vehement protest by Repres-
West Virginia. who declared that the
House ought to govern itself with
out regard to some member VINO IS
sore about post Offices"
Clearly within his rights, as
the entire membership hopping to
the bells during the last two days
and forced two night sessions. The
count at o'clock last night showed
thirteen roll calls. each requiring
an average of twenty-five minutes.
and Mr. Voigt still going strong.
But just as rapidly as a quorum was
obtained it scattered. Representative
knutsOn, Minnesota, the republican
whip" meanwhile sweating as he
stood by the outer door in an er1ort
Plead With VOigt.
Friends Of Mr.. Voigt failed to bulge
him as they pleaded with him to let
the business proceed. To all he ex-
planned that he had introduced a
resolution for investigation of the
appointment of postmasters. that the
rules committee had refused to let
it come before the House and that
he was determined to keep the House
on the job until it was reported.
The deficiency appropriation bill
finally got through, but the snag was
reached when the conference report
on the Army bill was taken up. In
sisting upon the reading of the long
report, Mr.. Voigt kept his eyes on the
printed pages and the clerk did not
attempt the time ehonored practice OF
skipping page after page.
AS each amendment to the measure
was adopted, Mr.. Voigt demanded a
stand-up vote and invariably 1t show
ed less than a quorum. The bells
changed, members came racing in.
then raced out. About the time they
got back to more comfortable quar-
ters there was the same proceeding
and again the bells changed.
House Halts yOixt.
After Mr.. GoodykoontZ had protest
ed Mr.. Voigt attempted to speak, but
the House chopped him off. Pages
were ordered to round up all. alb
sentees at their homes. clubs. picture
theaters and elsewhere and to inform
them the House would stay on the
Job all night, if necessary, to show
that one man could not block pro-
ceedings.
The filibuster was in full swing
when the House adjourned at 10
o'clock. and met an hour earlier than
usual today.
Speaker Gillett took official recog
milton OF the f1libuster, and. on an ef-
fort by Mr.. Voigt to prevent the ear
lier meeting hour, told the Wisconsin
member the chair had been very
conSiderate Of him"
"a member who wishes to obstruct
the business Of the House must be
acquainted with the parliamentary
situation" said the Speaker, and the
House let loose a whoop of approval
