Congress Stalemate Over Communist Control Bill
The 81st Congress faced a historic pause as a filibuster and override vote stalled the Communist control bill. Six senators led a 19 percent hour filibuster before supporters stayed to push the final vote with arrival of Sen. Robert Taft. The measure would require registration of Communist groups, authorize mass rounds up of suspected subversives in war, and stiffen penalties for espionage. President Truman vetoed the bill citing eight objections including lists of defense plants and free speech concerns.
