Showdoen Nears On Vote Bill
Washington AP. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield plans to seek cloture on the voting rights bill next Tuesday after filing a debate limit petition Friday. If two thirds vote for cloture, each side would be limited to one hour on the bill and amendments. Mansfield faces Southern opposition led by Allen Ellender who argues the bill would strip states of voter qualification rights. The measure would suspend literacy tests in much of the South and allow federal examiners to register voters.
