SHORTLY AFTER / PM.

SHORTLY AFTER ] PM,
the filibusterer looked so good
that the Rambler did not
hesitate to take his usual two
hours for lunch.
Sure enough, when he re-
turned, the show was Just at
the point where he had left.
The Senators on the floor
seemed to be enjoying the
relaxation the filibuster pro-
vided. individuals would cross
the aisle and engage in
friendly talks with members
Of the opposition. After all,
the session was almost over.
Everyone seemed sure Sena-
tor Thurmond would not be
able to talk forever, although
1t seemed that was Just what
he was doing.
1t was a good show, but it
did not seem to attract a
public. There we're a number
of women-wives and office
workers-in the gallery for
Senator'S families.
The tourists in their garbs
of many colors we're guided
in and out as usual. They
seemed a little puzzled.
The interest in Senator
Thurmond's arkable
physical feat, comparable to
swimming the channel in the
Rambler's estimation, seemed
largely professional.
During the day, scores OF
members Of the House came
and sat in the seats against
the rear wall.

Liquor Board
faVOrs License
Rules EthicuI Society
Is Not q Church

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today ruled that the
Washington Ethical Society is
not a church for purposes Of
liquor-law enforcement.
A group Of restaurant owners
asked the liquor control body to
reverse a liquor license granted
a firm which wishes to operate
a restaurant an 1889 connecti-
cut avenue NV.
Opponents Of the license had
argued that the Washington
Ethical Society, 1922 Massachu-
sets avenue NV. is a church.
The alcoholic beverage control
law forbids liquor sale within
400 feet Of a church.
However, the District Tax
Court last year ruled that the
Ethical Society Is not a church
and denied it exemption from
real estate taxes. This ruling
is currently being appealed.
Chairman Alan Payne Of the
ABC Board said the three-man
boards ruling was unanimous
that the Ethical Society is not
a church as contemplated by
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act.
The board already had
granted the Dupont Restaurant
Corp. a license to sell liquor at
the 1859 Connecticut avenue
address. The protesting group
asked for a reversal on the
ground the address was toe
close to the Washington Eth
cal Society. They had also
fought the license before 1t was
granted.

Of Oklahoma. today called or
the Defense Department to in.
vestigate complaints that men,
bers of the armed services are
being victimized by Washing
toms used car dealers.
In a statement TO the Senate
Senator Monroney protested
that the Army pay and allot-
ment system was being used as
a collection agency by the used
car dealers. He also protested
that the rate of interest on
such borrowed money in the
purchase of secondhand cars
was uSuriouS.
Senator Monroney spoke as
chairman of the subcommit-
tee of the Senate Interstate
and Foreign Commerce COM
mittee on automobile market
ing practices.
Sees Troops Exploited
He told the Senate that
armed services regulations limit
the purposes for which a pay
allotment may be registered by
a serviceman and that they
quite properly provide that al
Iotments from a serviceman's
pay may be made to savings
institutions.
However. the Senator said
the subcommittee has learned
that these provisions of the
armed services regulations "are
being exploited by some un-
scrupulous used car dealers in
the District of Columbia"
He said these dealers have
persuaded members of the
armed services to arrange for
monthly payments on second
hand cars by allotting part OF
their pay to unlicensed saving
institutions.
Senator Monroney protested
that the interest on the bor-
rowed money has gone as high
as about 40 per cent simple
interest on the unpaid balance

The
Rambler
Visits Senote
To Herr FiIibuster
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Until yesterday, this RAM
bier had never attended a
filibuster.
Hearing at II am. that
Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina still had the floor
of the Senate after IA hours,
the Rambler took "a taxicab
to the Hill.
Senator Thurmond was
standing behind his desk in
the rear row on the right
(Democratic) side of the aisle,
reading a book, which rested
on a lectern about 10 inches
above the desk,
He was reading to the Off
cial reporter, who sat six feet
from him, taking it on a
stereotype machine. Senate
reporters put down their YER
batim notes in old-fashioned
shorthand, but the Senator
had worn out the staff of
four, who had stayed up all
night and four more stenog-
rapherss had been obtained
from a commercial reporting
firm. The stereotype man was
one of them.
It was a good show of q
leisurely sort, which some
how reminded the Rambler
of six-day bicycle races he
used to attend in his youth
or the remarkable eight-day
dance m marathon Milton
Crandall staged in Madison
Square Garden in 1929.
In those extended shows.
you didn't have to pay atten-
ton to what was going on,
and no one except the Off
cial reporter was paying
much attention to the Sem
ator.
