While Senator Fulbright. Demo-

Senator Fulbright's answer did
not indicate that his fears had
been allayed. He said some Sena-

The question is one which is
difficult for me to answer. The
Senator is now arguing about the

Senate Unable to End Fi|ibuster Sto|enote

it was before the Senate for a
direct vote. Informal polls in
dicate, however. that some Re-
publicans would vote with the
Southern Democrats against up
holding a Barkley ruling to give
broader meaning to the old rule
Last August, Senator Vanden-

a pending measure, and Republi-
can Floor Leader Wherry pointed
out last night that the Rules Com
mittee which drafted the new
rule this year stated in its re-
port that the past Interpretation

precedents.
Senator Wherry said that if the
anticipated Barkley ruling lis not
sustained. it then becomes the
duty of us who believe in two
thirds cloture to fight it out with
any fllibuster that develops. if it
takes all summer to win the
battle"

Senator Wherry said he would
vote to sustain the Vandenberg

Kefauver Tells Stand
For Two-Thirds Rule
To Curb FiIibusters

Senator Kefauver. Democrat, of
Tennessee, last night declared his
support of proposed change in
Senate rules so a two thirds vote
can halt a filibuster.
II do not think we should allow
two or three people, or whatever
number it may be, to tie up the
workings Of democracy, the Sem
ator told the 23d annual banquet
of the George Washington Uni
versity Medical Society in the
Mayf1ower Hotel.
The way to block the civil rights
program is not by filibuster, but
by citing the South's progress
in tackling its problems, Senator
Kefauver said.
THE most eloquent argument
against passage of anti-lynching
legislation, for example, is a sta
tistic. Statistics show only two
lynchings in the South last year;
one of these was a white man.
That figure becomes a fact; the
fact, is the South is solving its
lynching problem.
The Senator then called on the
medical profession to solve the
urgent need for doctors in rural
communities.
Some counties in the South
do not have one physician" he
said. 1T is a challenge to get
young doctors to come to rural
sections of our country. 1t is
going to have to be done. We
should make it possible to gradu-
ate more doctors even if it is
necessary to help them with
Federal funds"
He declared much of the Souths S
recent progress can be traced
directly to the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, president
of the Southern Medical Society,

AS of last night. however,

publican support to beat such a
ruling by Mr.. Barkley.
If the ruling is made by Mr..
Barkley and reversed. the rules
fight would be right back where it

that the test vote he will seek will

wants to see the Presidents pro-
gram. including civil rights,

If the rules fight ends in a week
