Coalition Rules Battle Shapes Senate Anti Filibuster Fight
A Republican Southern Democrat bloc controls the Senate fight over anti filibuster rules. They introduced a compromise to curb debate with a two thirds threshold on most issues while leaving unlimited debate on rule changes. Administration leaders vow to oppose the plan, calling it a sellout to Southern foes of Truman. Rents and labor measures, spied atomic matters, and air power expansion also dominate Capitol action with votes anticipated on rent control substitutions and a broader Taft Hartley reform.
