FiIibuster May Be Topic.
Despite reports that the prin-
cipal subject of discussion between
Gen. Eisenhower and the sena-
torial group would be the out
laWing of the filibuSter. no one
at this headquarters could con-
firm them. But the question is
certainly much on the minds OF
the Republican leadership, and it
would be reasonable to expect
that the generals view would be
solicited.
The filibuSter-a parliamentary
device which in recent years has
been used principally to block civil
rights legislation-could be out

Senate session if liberals succeed
in a move to adopt new rules fol
the session instead of following the
practice of carrying over the ole

Hannah, president of the Michigan
State College, and Horace Albright

on Natural Resources to be held il,
March. After the meeting, how
ever, Mr.. Hannah declined to COM
