Senate Overrides Veto to Make Anti-Red Law
The Senate voted 57 to 19 to override President Truman and enact the anti red bill, following a marathon session and a late-night filibuster by a small group. The measure requires Communist registration, authorizes rounding up Communists in war or insurrection, tightens immigration, and faces constitutional questions despite House action of 286 to 48 to override earlier. Senator William Langer collapsed after a lengthy speech and was hospitalized, with others remaining at the chamber as the vote passed and the bill headed to implementation.
