Anti - Filibuster
Advocates Get
Major Setback
WASHINGTON, UP> — The Sen
ate today turned down 60-36 a key
proposal designed by civil rights
advocates to clear the way for a
tight new curb on filibusters.
The roll call vote was the first i
test of strength in the swirling
battle over rules touched off with
the start of the new Senate ses
sion two days ago.
It marked a striking victory for
Democratic leader Lyndon John
son and other Democratic and Re
publican Senate leaders backing a
compromise offered by Johnson.
Conversely, it was a major set
back for Vice President Richard
M. Nixon and a bipartisan anti
filibuster bloc of northern and
western senators.
The vote came on a motion by
Johnson to table and thus kill a
resolution by Senator Clinton An
derson (D-NM). Anderson’s aim
was to establish that each new
Senate has the right to adopt its
own rules by majority vote at the
tort of a session.

Teamsters Union
Has No Records
Of Beck Loans
TACOMA, (TP) — The Teamsters’ j
union has no documentary evi- '
dence of its own relating to sums
of money borrowed by its former j
president, Dave Beck, a witness 1
testified at Beck’s income tax i
trial Wednesday.
Frank Brewster, once secretary- j
treasurer of the Teamsters’ West- i
ern Conference, said the only evi- j
dence of Beck’s rborrowings was
information supplied by Beck
himself.
Brewster testified he did not j
know of Beck borrowing some |
$370,000 in union funds until j
1954. However, he did say that
Beck once asked him whether “I
had any obection to him borrow
ing money from the union.”
Brewster said he told Beck he
did not if he got approval of the
board of the Western Conference.
The government has charged
the portly former Teamsters
president with evading $240,000 in j
income taxes during 1950-53.
Brewster described his rela- j
tionship with Beck as “strictly j
business.”
“He had very few close friends,” i
Brewster said.

By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, UP> — Repub
lican Congressional leaders struck
back with cries of “politics”
against Democratic contentions
that the Eisenhower Administra
tion is lagging behind in the space
age.
In the opening round of what
appeared likely to become a brist
ling two-party fight in the new
Congress, Senators Styles Bridges
and Thomas Kuchel assailed the
call of Democratic leader Lyndon
Johnson for his party to seize na
tional leadership from the White
House. >
Johnson told fellow Senate
Democrats Wednesday there is a
“deficit of vigor in the Eisenhower
Administration. They therefore
have a mandate to assume con
structive leadership “beginning
now, not two years hence,” he
added.
Bridges, who heads the Senate
Republican Policy Committee, de
scribed this as the opening shot
in a political barrage he said he
expects the Democrats to fire at
President Eisenhower’s fiscal and
national security proposals.
