Senate Tries


Washington. Nov. 20-INS-S- n
ate leaders planned conferences to-
day in a fresh effort to end the
filibuster on the anti-poll tax bill,
as members talked of changing
time-honored rules OF unlimited de-
bate.
A new proposal to agree to vote
on invoking the rule Of cloture-
a rule by which debate is limited
was being studied both by Ma
jority Leader Barkley, and south
ern senators conducting the flibus-
ter against the bill.
An agreement was reached yes
terday by leaders OF opposing fac
tons to permit consideration OF
the anti-poll tax measure, filing uf
a petition for cloture and vote on
its adoption at / p. m. Monday.
The necessary unanimous consent
was denied by Sen. Chandler Cd
Ky.
With the southern group appar-
emily in control OF the situation,
and ready to flibuster the bill 20
its death, many senators appeared
anxious to bring the battle to a
close
A survey Of the Senate indicated
that sponsors OF the measure can.
not get a two-thirds vote to enforce
cloture. Under the proposed agree
ment, failure Of the Senate to adopt
cloture would be followed by aban-
donment of the bill.
THE bill is licked" said Sen. RI.
lender CD La.
Chandler. who objected 10 the
agreement on the ground that it
would set a bad precedent, also
conceded that sponsors OF the leg
islation cannot invoke cloture.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. 19.-
Therell be some kicks coming from
the Redskins this season, good ones,
too, if Coach Ray Flaherty is any
Judge of punting. Sammy Baugh,
league leader the last two years,
probably will be the teams No. !
booter, especially on quick kicks, but
Bob Seymour is driving the ball in
practice, Dick Poillon has all the
earmarks of a dependable punter,
and another rookie, Carlton Pere-
GOV, left -footer, is no slouch.
Were probably better fixed for
kickers than we've ever been,"
Flaherty was saying today. Il ex-
pect Seymour to give Sammy some
help and I'll let Poillon take his turn
if he continues to boot the ball as
we'll as he's doing in camp. Seymour
didn't get started until the fag end
of last season and it was a little too
late to do us any good, but he
showed he can handle the job when
he's right"
And if this crew isn't enough to
handle the punting chores, Flaherty
still can call on George Smith,
center who boots 'em mile, and
Roy Zimmerman. But he doesn't
think it will be necessary.
Baugh probably will welcome help.
Last year he did more kicking than
any other back in the circuit and
hung up an average of ATT yards.
His longest effort travelled IS yards
in the first game with the Giants.
Norm Standlee of the Bears bet
tered Sans average by almost IS
yards but he only kicked twice and
his best was a 70-yarder.
In practice, Poillon has shown a
tendency to kick the ball straight
down the middle and is trying to
develop more of a soccer style to hit
the corners without losing control.
Baugh is past master at calling
his shots and is especially good at
angling his quick kicks, but the
gent who has been dropping his
kicks in the corner as accurately as
though using a bomb sight is Zim-
norman
Both have been working with
Poillon and the kid is smart enough
to listen. Already he has gotten the
hang of swapping pass in approved
Baugh style and it travels rather
swiftly. If he improves his kicks
as quickly, he'll be a genuine triple
threat.
