Senate Cloture Vote Fails to End Union Shop Debate
The Senate rejected a cloture bid 50 to 49 to halt the filibuster against the union shop bill, missing the two-thirds threshold. Democratic Leader Mansfield said the measure would be set aside for the 1966 session and kept on the calendar with the Rest in Peace tag, unlikely to advance. The bill would repeal Taft-Hartley Section 14-B requiring workers to join a union or pay dues. Meanwhile battles abroad included U S troops near Saigon and Soviet missiles striking a naval jet near North Vietnam.
