 FILIBUSTER ACT
Floor Leader Shell Out to Stop Certain Plans
 of President

Washington, June l -- UP) - 4 republican filibuster which threatened delay to enact Of ad- ministration sponsored Legislation broke out again today in the house.
 Under the generaIship of Minor ity Floor Lender Bertrand W. Shell. the republican members forced roll call Immediately af- ter the house convened. The roiI call motion was made by Rep. liar. old McCugin, r., Kans. The move consumed 45 minutes.
 The same tactics kept the house in session late last night.
 After the roll call, Shell de- manded that yesterdays house journal be read. Usually roll calls and such matter is not read by the clerk. As there were eight roll calls at yesterdays session, reading Of the journal consumed much time.
 t appeared the filibuster was di- rected at the Lozier resolution call ing for q census next November.
 The census would employ ap- proximateIy 1000 men. RcpubIi- can members coDtended the census was purely q political move.
 Whether the democrats under Majority Floor Leader Joseph w. Byrns would be able to break the filibuster before the legislative program Is seriously delayed, was probIema tical. The majority lead ership has been pushing legislation through the house at the greatest possible speed to comply with President Roosevelt's request for an early adjournment of congress June Q, little more than week away. has been tentatively set as the final day.
 Much must" legislation remains to be acted on. however.
