In Behalf of the FiIibuster

When flibuSter is employed for petty
obstructive purposes it deserves the bad repute
which many people have come to associate with
the term. In other circumstances, however
there is great deal to be said for unlimited
debate in the Senate which is a dressed-up
description of the filibuster
The argument for curbing the filibuster
rests on the proposition that the principle of
simple majority should govern in the Senate.
This, it is said, is'the liberal" way to conduct
democratic legislative body. But that prop
osition rests on the opposite of true liberalism.
AS every one knows, the enactment of COM
pulsory Federal FEPC legislation is, or at least
is supposed to be, the ultimate aim of the
current drive for amendment of the Senate
rules Under the existing rules an FEPC bill
cannot be brought to a vote unless filibuster
can be worn down and broken, or unless 81
Senators are willing to limit debate by voting
to invoke cloture. Therefore, say the liberals"
let's change the rules so that simple majority
can bring FEPC legislation to a vote and pass it.
The difficulty with this over -smplihed view
Is that compulsory FEPC is utterly obnoxious
to large segment of the country. 1t is also
of doubtful constitutionality and enforcibiity.
But these two latter considerations are, perhaps,
more or less irrelevant. The real question is
whether there would be any semblance of true
l1UGIdl1SH Ill SySCeu1 WHICH WOulQ peTIIllC d
simple majority to force down the throats of
large minority piece of legislation that is
thoroughly diStasteful to them.
The Star does not believe that there would
be. If the principle of majority rule requires
that simple majority should be able to silence
debate, why does not that same principle
logically apply, say, to the requirement that
two-thirdS vote is necessary to override a
presidential veto?
The answer seems fairly obvious. There is
such thing as tyranny by the majority
Unlimited debate in the Senate serves as
check on hasty and possibly oppressive action
by the majority, and it is a check that ought not
to be lightly cast aside. Our experience indi-
Gates that If an issue of truly vital national
Importance is at stake, the votes necessary to
curb debate can be mustered. But if the issue
is not vital enough to persuade 64 Senators to
vote for cloture, the cause of true liberalism
stands, in the long run, to lose more than it
will gain by a surrender to the So-called liber-
alism of the simple majority school.

A mistake of major proportions. it

basic charters of American freedom
were removed from the Library of Con-

Air ForceCuts Back
Assault Transport
Procurement 80 Pei.
By John A. Giles

The Air Force has made a
slash Of almost 30 per cent in
its procurement plans for the
CHS assault-type transports
which are designed to take OF
and land on unprepared ground
Plans had called for the pur-
chase of 759 of the huge twin
engine troop, and cargo carrying
planes.
But officials said yesterday the
program has been cut back to
165 planes.
Deliveries Of the C-123 have
not been up to expectations, it
was explained. The C-123 is one
of the non-combat types being
cut back under the Eisenhower
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming next July /. Funds for the
larger C-123 procurement pro-
gram would have been provided
from budgets for the 1952-53-54
fiscal years.
Built by Kaiser.
Kaiser Motors Corp, currently
involved in a dispute before
Senate committee with reference
to the construction of the C-119
transport, is the builder of the
C-123. Kaiser bought 49 per cent
Of the stock of the Chase Air
craft Co. to make it possible to
use its vast Willow Run facility
for production of the C-123.
Chase developed the plane and
only last week Henry J. Kaiser
charged that Chase President
Michael Stroukoff was trying to
block C-123 production at Willow
Run so Chase could do the work
at Trenton. N. j.
Mr.. Kaiser also said the Air
Force had threatened to cancel

the Democrats to nominate for

"And if you should get the
nomination." he added, "1'll ride
