Senate Sinks Open Housing Bill After Filibuster Defeat
In Washington the civil rights open housing bill of 1966 failed to secure cloture after a two week filibuster led by Everett Dirksen. The 52 to 41 vote fell 10 short of the two thirds needed. The House later approved the measure 259 to 157, while a separate fight arose over a 500000 canal planning appropriation led by Frank M. Clark against Michael J. Kirwan.
