POLL TAX
Senate Is Warned
To Expect Tie-Up

by offering a simple act of Con-
greSs as a substitute for the
constitutional amendment.
All indications are this move
will fail, as it did two years
ago by a vote of 50-37. This
Javits motion is one reason
why Southerners are predict
ing a long poll tax debate.
But the leaders could shorten
this debate by moving to table
the liberal substitute. A mo-
ton to table must be voted
on Immediately when made.
Senator Holland, Democrat
of Florida, who is sponsoring
the abolition of poll taxes by
constitutional amendment, de-
Tended his position in the Sen
ate today. He called it the
proper way to proceed in pref
erence to the Javits proposal
to abolish poll tax by statute.
