change in Senate rules as urged
by the hackers of civil rights leg
liSlation.
Senator Fulbright said he re-
minded Gov. Stevenson that the
Governors grandfather, who was
Vice President with Grover Cleve-
land from 1893: to 1897, was

Discussed Civil Rights.
When the Arkansas Senator
was discussing the conflicting
viewpoints of Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower on foreign pol
icy. he was asked If the Democrats

civil rights.
"I am not quite clear in my own
mind what his Gov. Stevenson's)
latitude is toward immediate en-
Iactment of compulsory FEPC," !"
Senator Fulbright replied.
He insisted that no Southerner
lis seeking to maintain any great
differences in social position or to
prevent equal job opportunity. He
said Democratic differences relate
to how the problem can best be
solved.
II feel a compulsory FEPC
would not achieve it's purpose" he
said. "It would be a good deal
like prohibition. And I am not
at all sure yet that Gov. Steven

ate passage of a compulsory
FEPC. I don't think he intends
to do it."
Doesn't Know Reactions.
Regarding the drive for new
anti-filibuster rules in the Sem
late. Senator Fulbright said he

Senate to act as a brake against
hasty legislation, otherwise there
would have been no need for two
houses in Congress.

Stevenson listened to his argu-

| When Senator Fulbright was de-
ploring Gen. Eisenhower's alliance
with Senator Taft, a reporter
asked if there is any difference

! The Senator said the difference
is that Senator Taft is in a posi-
ton to dominate legislation for
the next four years, while Presi-
dent Truman will retire to private
life
Seeks To Draw Parallel.
Senator Fulbright sought tc
draw a parallel between the Eisen-
hower-Taft agreement and the
administration of President Grant

other professional soldier to be-
come President and that he al
lowed the Senate to take over
control of his administration.
