Open Housing Vote Postponement Seen
The Senate appears unlikely to vote before November on the open housing section of the civil rights bill. Democratic leaders may shelve the House-passed measure after weeks of filibustering by opponents. A brief roll call earlier showed 51 votes needed, but the chamber soon shifted to a $3.5 billion foreign aid authorization. The stalled session ended without action as Hart paused the effort and adjourned for the day.
