Senator Lucas, Democrat. Of Illi-
nois, without losing his command
of the floor.
Senator johnson denounced the
revenue bill as one that would hit
the poor man. and relieve the in
come taxpayer of some of his taxes.
If you would ask me what this
bill is" he told the Senate, L would
tell you it is Republican bill out
and out. 1t must be Republican
bill because only Republican
would want such a tax"
He got some help near the OPEN
ing of this filibuster by a question
from Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida. Senator Pepper said it
mad been rumored that what some
people have in mind in the pro-
posed revenue bill was a spear
head" for a national sales tax.
Senator Johnston said
Il am glad you brought that up"
adding that because this is the
Capital of the Nation, adoption of
the levy here would have an infu-
ence elsewhere.
After Senator Johnston had gone
on for a while. several Senators in
terrupted with questions as how
long he proposed to continue. He
said he did not know how long he
would last. He remarked that he
had been in the Senate session all
Friday night and Il am not as fresh
as I would like to be-"
IF l was" he continued, Il would
keep you here until Monday. I'll
do anything to keep this bill from
becoming law"
The question came up when Sem
consent to take up the bill. Senator
Johnston promptly objected. Sena-
tor Saltonstall then moved to take
up the bill. The motion was debat-
able and Senator Johnston took the
floor. announcing he was going to
read the bill in its entirety, a docu-
ment of 46 pages. as well as the
entire report, pamphlet OF eight
pages of fine print.
When he was asked If ne would
Weld temporarily and without los
ing the floor, to permit Senator
Lucas to make his address, Senator
Johnston specified he would do so
only if this yielding did not make
the first portion of his talk count
as one of the two times he could
cobo te the ypoti inn
Senator Saltonstall advised him
that if he did yield, he could still
speak twice on the consideration OF
the bill itself The South Caro-
linian said he wanted the right to-
speak twice on both the motion and
the bilT
Senator Pepper said this could
be done if the Senate gave unanl-
nous consent. This was done.
After Senator Lucas concluded
his address. Senator Saltonstall
withdrew his motion to bring up
the sales tax.

Lucas are honorable men," Senator
Lucas said. There are no ugly scars

Langer's blast earlier in the day
The Illinois Democrat coupled his
attack on LANCER with a verbal poke
at the Republican majority. He
said at the outset of his speech:
These are the closing hours of
this Republican-controlled Cong
ress which has distinguished itself,
not only by it's inept handling of its
heavy legislative responsibilities, but
also by its shabby and insolent
treatment of individuals who have
had the misfortune to become the
subject of its abuse"

Shafer to delay inductions until
next January 81 was stricken out by
