Senate May Postpone Vote On Fortas Till September
After four days of committee testimony the Senate faces a delayed floor vote on Abe Fortas to succeed Earl Warren as chief justice. Chairman Eastland said a closed meeting would consider Fortas qualifications, with possible action after Labor Day and after Thornberry’s proceeding. A filibuster threat from Republicans and Southern Democrats could push the nomination into lengthy delays. Warren would stay if Fortas loses. Hugh Scott indicated his support, backing Johnson’s nomination before leaving office.
