Senate Passes Anti-Filibuster Compromise Rule Amid Civil Rights Debate
In a 63 to 23 vote the Senate adopted a compromise rule to curb debates on most business, blocking action on President Truman's civil rights program for now. Republicans argued the rule unlocks action on civil rights and other administration measures including rent controls, the European Recovery Program, reciprocal trade agreements, and housing. Senator Bricker and Taft joined others in endorsing the change, which requires 64 of 96 votes for future rules changes.
