Filibuster End Sought in Busing Desegregation Bill Debates
Washington AP reports the Senate moves to end a filibuster on a bill to sharply limit busing used for school desegregation. Supporters seek a two thirds vote after debate tests, with possible further votes midweek and again Thursday if needed. Opponents decry the measure as a regression, while backers insist it deserves a straight up or down vote and would keep neighborhood schools intact by allowing busing only to the next nearest school. The House approved the measure 282 to 102. President Nixon opposes busing and adjournment may come soon.
