Poll tax ban bill shelved after Senate vote
Washington May 16 The Senate shelved the bill to ban state poll taxes in federal elections after a 41 to 35 vote to proceed with another measure. Senator Bilbo predicted it would sit on the shelf for a year at least but would be taken up again. NAACP's Walter White labeled the action a farce while pickets outside the capitol decried the poll tax as a hangover of slavery and a symbol of racism.
