Filibuster Grips House As Debates Drag On
Washington April 3 The Democratic filibuster dominated today's House proceedings but the majority pushed ahead on key bills. The Rules Committee limited District of Columbia appropriation debate to two hours amid fierce minority protests. Treasury maneuvers included passage of a Navy armor and armament deficiency bill after several roll calls. Williams condemned the minority tactics while Dalzell defended majority action and warned the minority to cease obstruction as he moved the previous question. The House then adopted the rule by 129 to 102 and took up the district appropriation bill.
