Senate Fails To End Filibuster On Taft Hartley 14B
Senate leaders including Mike Mansfield seek to invoke cloture on a House passed measure to repeal Section 14B of the Taft Hartley Act which would end state union shop bans. The bill failed 51 48 in a bid to limit debate, with Dirksen and GOP allies blocking motion. If cloture fails, Mansfield may drop the measure for the year though it remains on the calendar. The Johnson administration supports repeal as labor leaders push it as a top goal.

He warned the nation could face a daily shortage of one billion gallons of quality water by century's end and said progress on soil conservation is contrasted by slipping gains on water pollution.
