College Station, Texas Thursday, March 10, 1960
Debate End May
Come In Senate
WASHINGTON UP)— The Sen
ate votes today on a petition to
clamp a time-limit on its civil
rights debate, now in its fourth
week and likely to continue.
Almost simultaneously, the
House starts debate on a civil
rights bill that is far less objec
tionable to Southern opponents
than the measure before the Sen
ate.
The vote in the Senate was for
ced by a group of self-styled lib
erals against the advice of the
leaders of both parties, and de
feat of the effort was widely pre
dicted.
The vote was ordered on a pe
tition of 31 senators to invoke the
Senate’s' cloture rule under which
each senator’s speaking time
would be limited to one hour.
The rule, not successfully in-
Local TB Group
Sets 1960 Campaign
Goal at $6,000
A $6,000 goal for the 1960 Easter
Seal campaign in Brazos Valley
was announced today. by Mrs.
Clarence Kemp, general chairman.
Mrs. Kemp said the goal repre
sents the amount needed if crippled
children are to continue receiving
rehabilitationservices from the
Brazos County Society for Crippled
Children and if direct aid is to be
extended to other handicapped
children not now receiving it.
The campaign opens March 17
and continues through Easter Sun
day, April 17.
Mrs. Kemp urged all residents
of Brazos Valley to watch for their
Easter Seals in the mail and to
respond generously to the appeal.
“The Brazos County Society for
Crippled Children has assisted
thousands of crippled children
through Easter Seal contributions
over the years,” she said.
“In 1959 Easter Seal services
helped more than 77 boys and girls
who live in Brazos, Grimes, Burle
son, Bobertson, Washington and
Madison counties,” Mrs. Kemp
added.
Approximately 66 per cent of
the funds contributed to the Easter
Seal appeal finance services within *
Brazos County and the remainder
helps support a national program
of direct service, education and
research, said Mrs, King.

LOUPOT’S
voked since 1927, can be put into
effect only by a two-thirds ma
jority vote of the senators pres
ent.
The Senate agreed to meet five
hours in advance of the vote, with
each side to be allotted equal time
to make its arguments.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) :
leader of a band of 18 Southern
senators fighting against civil
rights legislation, denounced the
move as an attempt at gag rule.
His forces had carried on a full-
scale filibuster through around-
the-clock sesisons which started
Feb. 29 after the first two weeks
of debate. The nonstop sessions
ended by agreement Tuesday might
and are not expected to be resum
ed even if lengthy debate contin
ues.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill)
and Jacob K. Javitts (R-NY),
chief sponsors of the cloture pe
tition argued the Senate must
show it cannot be immobilized by
a small minority.
However, they made no advance
claims of victory.
Bcfth Majority Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson (D-Tex) and Minority
Leader Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill)
called the move to shut off the
debate premature.
Some i’senators believe the Sen
ate is likely to wind up by faking
the House bill if it is not greatly
changed. But it will not reach the
Senate for another week.
In its present form, the House
measure includes only four of the
seven sections in the administra
tion bill' before the Senate , and
even these have been toned down
in several respects.
However, the House is expected
to adopt an amendment providing
for court-appointed referees to
protect Negro voting rights—an
administration proposal already
included in the Dirksen bill.
The House bill, unlike the Sen
ate measure, would not give con
gressional backing to the Supreme
Court’s 1954 school integration de
cision. Nor would it set up by law
a commission to seek elimination
of racial discrimination in em
ployment by government contrac
tors.
These provisions have drawn
some of the Southern senators’
sharpest criticism. Efforts to add
these and other provisions un
doubtedly will be made in the
House, however.

Southern Filibuster
Recalls Memories
WASHINGTON <A>)_The
Southerners’ anti-civil rights fili
buster brings to mind when Texas’
Tom Connally participated in such
talkathons.
Old timers around the Capitol
recall that the now retired Texas
senator probably reached the zen
ith of his speaking career in de
nouncing anti-lynch bills and other
such legislations which came up
in the 1930’s.
None of the present crop of sen
ators, it is generally conceded, are
of the old school of rough and
tumble, colorful debaters to which
Connally belonged.
Probably the nearest—but on
the opposite side of the fence on
civil rights issues and therefore
not aiding the southern bloc, is
Minnesota’s Hubert Humphrey, a
candidate for the Democratic pres
idential nomination.
When the word spread that Con
nally was speaking or about to
speak in opposition to one of those
measures which now bear the gen
eral classification of “civil rights”
legislation, the Senate Chamber
would fill quickly.
With a skillful change in pace,
Connally at times would address
a foe in mellifluous and flattering
terms, then in an abrupt switch
burst forth with a stinging denunc
iation dfe, bis opponent’s views if
npt at the foe himself.
Perhaps only one other Texan
equalled is not surpassed Connal-
ly’s reputation, as a Congressional
—Joseph Weldon Bailey.
Born Oct. 6, 1862 near Crystal
Springs, Miss., Bailey moved to
Gainesville, Tex., in 1885. He was
succeeded in the House by Speaker
Sam Rayburn.
Bailey served in the House from
1891 to 1901, then went to the Sen
ate for 10 years. He returned to
the Housp in 1911 and served there
until resigning, to be succeeded
by Rayburn in 1913. He died in
a courtroom in Sherman in 1929
while defending a client.
No one now is left in the House
who served with Bailey, but the
old timers still recall his oratorical
feats.
Rep. W. R. (Bob) Poage of
Waco recalls hearing Bailey mak
ing a speech in Waco in 1919, dur
ing an 'unsuccessful campaign
against Pat Neff for the governor
ship.
“I was a student at Baylor Uni
versity at the time,” Poage said.
“I can hear him now as he spoke
in great, rolling tones. In his
words he was pleading for the
‘great principles which I believe
to be fundamental.’ And he pro
nounced it ‘fund-dye-mental.’ ”
In later years two other Texans
who served only in the House
(Connally, like Bailey, served in
both bodies) gained reputations
for eloquence far and beyond that
of the average. They are Fritz
Lanham of Ft. Worth and Martin
Dies Jr. of Lufkin, both now re
tired.
According to historical accounts,
Sam Houston was a man of con
siderable note when it came to
speaking on the senate floor.
Wildlife Group
Collects Forms
Of Aquatic Life
Over 3,000 forms of aquatic life
were collected by six students of
Wildlife Management, March 5,
when they seined portions of the
Wallaceville-Anahuac area of the
Trinity River, according to Dr.
R. J. Baldauf, assistant professor
of the Department of Wildlife
Management. . y
Baldauf said the specimens had
been collected in connection with
a project to plot the growth:curve
of certain freshwater fish aind to
study their distribution along with
salinity, river’s temperature and
dissolved oxygen content.
The fresh water icthyology
course calls for numerous field
trips before the project will be
completed. Teams of six students,
under the direction of Dr. Baldauf,
will alternate their one-day vigils
at the 1 river.
The 3,000 forms of mollusces,
shrimp, crabs and fish will be
identified, measured and then
added to the specimen collection
in the laboratory of the Depart
ment of Wildlife Management.
The collection, the largest in the
Southwest, contains specimens of
12.000 amphibians, 20,000 fish and
6.000 each of birds and mammals.
