South Faces Defeat On Civil Rights Vote in Senate
A secret Senate poll convinces southern Democrats they cannot block civil rights legislation this session. Republicans may back a gag rule on debate, clearing the way for limited debate. House members from the old Confederacy press the issue as McGrath prepares to report to Truman. President Truman travels to the Virgin Islands for an official reception. Southerners rely on cloture to stall bills, but they show only 25 votes, eight short of needed strength.
