Senate Hears Epochal Filibuster Over Anti Lynching Bill
The Senate judiciary committee voted 12 to 4 to place the Wagner Van Nuys anti lynching bill on the calendar. It would penalize peace officers for failing to protect prisoners from mob violence and authorize compensation for victims estates if negligence caused death. Opposition from southern Democrats and some northern colleagues signals a drawn out fight likely to invoke cloture in this presidential election year. Senator Conally warns of a prolonged battle while Bilbo vows to use every resource against the bill.
