Set Saturday
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Senate leaders were confident
today Of final approval Of the
compromise civil rights bill by
tomorrow and adjournment Of
the first session of the eSth
Congress Saturday.
Southern Senators made IL
clear today they have given I'D
any thought of a filibuster on
civil rights, as they took the
floor one by one to voice their
opposition to the jury trial

The danger Of a filibuster be-

beating last night on a sur

North Carolina, talked only "a

Senator Johnston, Democrat
Of South Carolina, held the
floor for only one hour, de-
nouncing the compromise, and
then got permission to go home
tomorrow for the wedding Of
his daughter on Friday. He
said he would be back Saturday,
prepared to continue the fight
if the Senate was still consid.
ering the bill at that time. But
informed sources in the Senate
said they expect it will be on its
way to the White House tomor-
row.
Opening the debate today,
Senator Erwin said:
Il have constituents who
would like me to filibuster, but
/ am compelled to recognize
the facts of legislative life. One
Of those facts is that the op-
position is a small minority"
Robertson Hits Bill
Senator Erwin added that It
would be impossible to filibuster
until January 2. 1859. This
was a reference to the fact that
life Of the present Congress
runs until January 3, 1859, and
that The bill still would be
pending all next year if it is
not sent to the White House
