Will Filibuster
On CivilRights
Extension of Cloture
Opposed in Senate
WASHINGTON-(AP)-Southern
Democrats will filibuster if lead-
ers try to change the Senate de-
bate rules to help push any civil
rights proposals through Congress.
Senator McClellan (Dem., Ark.),
who has taken an active part in
such things in the past, made that
point clear today.
McClellan told a reporter he has
heard that administration lieu-
tenants are thinking of asking
the Senate to, make its cloture rule
apply to any motion, as well as a
legislative bill.
Cloture is a procedure under
which each senator is limited to
an hour's talk on any bill or
amendment before the Senate.
It could kill the time-consuming
oratory by which Dixie Senators
always in the past have staved off
a Senator vote on the anti-job
discrimination, anti-lynching, an-
ti-poll tax and anti-segregation
measures President Truman prom-
ised voters he will try to put
through Congress.
But under present rules there'
are two catches in cloture:
1. Two-thirds of those voting
have to.approve before it can go
into effect.
2. It can't be used to stop talk
about a motion.

He was one of 20 high Japan-

the 24 others sentenced Friday by
the International Military Tri-

Another of the class B's, Adm.

"Tomorrow I'll serve you tea,
pass out candy and do anybody's

"Incidentally-the new faculty

Mint Reveals
Cities Vary in.
MoneyHabits
WASHINGTON - (R') - Towns,
like people, have queer money hab-
its. Baltimore, for example, is a
great place for nickels. Denver
loves the silver dollar. San Fran-
cisco is crazy about half dollars.
And Leland Howard, who sup-
plied this information, said either
Los Angeles or San Francisco-he
can't remember which-is forev-
er complaining about having too
many dimes while the other is
asking :
* *~ *
"CAN WE have some more dimes
please?"
Howard is assistant director of
the U.S. mint. I got in touch with
him after the office midas com-
plained :
"Why is Washington such a
small change town? Why, in this
hub of global billions, does the
store clerk always hand you two
nickels instead of a dime in
change, two quarters instead of
a half dollar? Do you remember
what a half dollar looks like?"
Howard says the mint has no
information on Washington, but
he's pretty certain the half dol-
lar is losing its popularity.
"I think the coin machines are
to blame," he said. "Many of them
don't have slots for half dollars."
THE OFFICE midas wasn't
moved by the report that the
mint could furnish no information
on Washington's small change
habits.
"I know it's a nickel-dime-quar-'
ter town," he said. "I can prove it.
"There's so much small change,,
my pockets wear out faster."
It sounds like very scientific
proof all right.
i
went to the desk to collect the
laundry. But agile Prof. Reade
scooped up the clothes and ran.
off before the surprised engineer
could get them.
True to his word, Prof. Reade
handed the student a clean bag
of laundry the next day, apologiz-
ing for not starching the shirts.
One thing bothered Prof. Reade.
''I wondered why the six shirts
had six different names on them,"
he remarked.
