Rights Advocates Fight Off Unwanted Open Housing Amendments
Civil rights advocates won a historic victory in breaking a filibuster and moved the Senate closer to a bill banning housing discrimination. Senate floor managers aimed to resist major amendments including an anti riot proviso from Lausche and Thurmond as cloture was invoked 65 to 32 to limit debate. The measure still faces stiff opposition in both the Senate and a more conservative House, with a Southern bloc ready to press further.
