Southern Senators
Shameless Filibuster Against
Bill to Give Citizens Ballot
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19.—America, that civilized part
of it which believes in the guarantees of the Constitution
and the freedom of man here and abroad and those who are
fighting for those “Four Freedoms” are aghast as a small
band of Southern Senators filibuster to prevent a vote of the
Pepper-Geyer bill which would abolish the poll tax in eight
Southern states.
The poll tax in these states prevents an estimated 10 mil
lion people, both black and white, from voting. In view of
the war and its international implications and performance
of the Southern die-hards is ex
tremely embarrassing to America
and the present administration.
The patriotic daily press, even in
many Southern cities are burying
the story of the filibuster in the
back pages.

Truth and Fact Basis
America has propagandized

solution to the complicated prob
lems of this world. Its recent
proof of its ability to adjust and
readjust is definite evidence that
this propaganda has truth and
fact as a basis.—Louisville De
fender.
See Editorial, Page 2
Democratic Leader Alben Bark
ley of Kentucky tried to fight the
filibuster by calling an unusual
Saturday session. But with almost
half of the Senate out of town—
many of them attending football
games—the Southerners were able
to block the session by hiding out
and preventing the Senate from
getting a quorum.
The Senate met at noon, and at
once Sen. Tom Connally (D., Tex.)
made a point of no quorum. The
Clerk began to call the roll, but
few Senators responded. The Sen
ate Sergeant-at-Arms was direct
ed to round up Senators and ask
them to attend.
This produced only about 40
Senators and Barkley got the Sen
ate to instruct the sergeant-at
arms to “compel” the attendance
of absent Senators.
After an hour and a quarter’s
delay, Sergeant-at-Arms Chesley
W. Jumey reported that he was
unable to round up a quorum, be
cause 44 Senators were out of town
and seven Southern Senators who
were here could not be found.
Senator Henrik Shipstead of
Minnesota was absent.
Connally Protests
Over the protests of Connally,
who apparently was running the
filibuster strategy, Barkley got the
Senate to instruct the sergeant-at
arms to serve warrants for the ar
rest of the Southerners who were
in town, but hiding out.
It was the first time for almost
15 years that the Senate had or
dered its sergeant-at-arms to ar
rest absentee members.
The last time was in 1928, when
a small group of Senators were
filibustering against the public
power project at Boulder Dam.
The seven missing Southerners
who, together with the 44 members
present by that time, would have
constituted a quorum and permit
ted the Senate to proceed were
Lister Hill of Alabama, Wall Doxey
of Mississippi, Burnet R. Maybank
of South Carolina, Kenneth G. Mc-
Kellar of Tennessee, W. Lee (Pap
py) O’Daniel of Texas, Richard B.
Russell of Georgia and John H.
Overton, of Louisiana. Senator
Berkeley L. Bunker of Nevada was
also in town, but missing.
