Good Weslern Music The Melody Mountain Boys at the OFFICIAL RODEO Dime-A-Dance Sat. Nire, June 21st, Roseburg Armory MA Solon Wisecracks ' During Row Over A Labor Bill Veto WASHINGTON, June 21' UP) Senator Glen Taylor (D. Idaho), a former tent show thes plan, had one of those parts ac tors dream about today. He held the stag lor hours on end without once vanishing into tne wings. Except for the lines he tossed to a few other characters, the part was a soliloquy. He wasn't filibustering, he said. No, he Just wanted the Senate to think things over a while be fore voting whether to override President Truman's veto of the Taft-Hartley labor bill. When Taylor finally gave up the floor shortly after 3 A. M. for a Suorum call, he had been going for eight hours and 25 minutes. He chatted easily to his sleepy colleagues about Sunday fishing trips, Wall Street plots against the West, and the unfair- distri bution of children among mar ried couples. The performance hardly had been equalled since the days of Huey Long's fabulous filibusters. Some of Taylor's observations: The reason the Republicans want to get quick action on the labor bill is "that it stinks to high heaven and they're anxious to get rid of it so they won't have to smell it." Taylor has three sonsf his brother-in-law has three daugh ters. "It's unfair distribution, that's what it is just like the Republicans are aiding and abet ting in this country." "It isn't Christian to keep these little page boys here all night when they ought to be in bed. Their morals are corrupted by seeing us adults sit up all night." Rodeo Saluted by Colorful Parade (Continued From rage 1) ed. On side streets, ears with streamers and advertising signs waited to join the procession. Meanwhile, more than 50 cow boys had signed up to contest in the rodeo. The deadline for entries was moved back an hour last night, as the Christensen Bros, of Eugene, rodeo stock con tractors, accepted late contest ants. The Police Reserves, dismount ed deputies of the Sheriff's of fice, are on duty today to regu late traffic downtown during the parade, on routes leading to the lairgrounds, and during the ro deo. Tonight's program will include the official dance at the Armory, under sponsorship of the Police Reserves, following the regular Saturday night wrestling match. Senate Wrangles All Night Over Labor Bill (Continued from page 1) White's proposal to vote Monday and go home for much-needed weekend rest. Senator Pepper (D.-Fla.), like Morse an opponent of the bill, earlier had tried a similar move, but the Republicans, aided by a number of Democrats, smashed that effort, 50 to 14. Opponents have been holding out to prevent a vote before Tuesday at the earliest. The White House said several hundred telegrams have been re ceived in response to Mr. Tru man's veto message and his radio address of last night. Eben Ayers, assistant press sec retary, told reporters the ratio was about 5 to 1 in support of the president's stand. Morse began his spech at 5:30 A. M. After he had talked more than five hours, Senator Olin D. Johnston (D.-S. C), another op ponent of the bill, sought to give the Oregonian a brief rest by asking unanimous consent for a quorum call without jeopardiz ing Morse's rights to continue talking. Senator Ives (R.-N. Y.) prompt h' objected. Senator Knowland (R.-Calif.), presiding at the time, told Morse that if he had yielded that this would have counted as "one speech" and additional remarks, would be a second and final speech under Senate rules. "I feel fine," Morse said. "This "ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID WE SIMPLY HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR ELECTRICAL WIRING ?" Don't overload your wiring lyttom. Whin you build or modornlio provldo ADfOUATI WIRING. ELECTRICAL DEALERS OF ROSEBURG is my first speech on this bill. I am going to make another one tomorrow. Meanwhile, Senator Byrd (D. Va.) issued a statement predict ing that the Senate, like the House, will override the presi dent's veto. But the vote will be "closer than many think," Byrd said, adding, "never have I seen such terrific pressure exerted upon the Senate." Sees Calamitous Threat I The Virginian's statement con tinued: "The result of sustaining the president's veto might well be calamitous. It would extinguish the last hope for worthwhile la bor reform legislation for a long .time to come. It would be a green ngnt to arrogant ana wuitui la bor leaders to strike in vital in dustries again and again and to use every method of coercion and intimidation to gain their selfish ends. "In this vote America can truly be said to stand at the cross roads. If we cannot manage John Lewis at home, how can we ex pect to protect ourselves against Joe Stalin abroad?" Earlier the bill's supporters demonstrated their strength by whipping, 50 to 14, a motion by Senator Pepper to delay a show down until Monday afternoon. Resembles Filibuster Pepper was joined by Sena tors Taylor tD.-Idaho) and Kil gore (D.-W. Va.) in a talkfest that Senator Russell (D.'Ga.), who intends to vote to override the veto, described as a filibuster. Shortly after sunrise, the Sen ate several times was within a hair's breadth of an agreement on a voting time. Morse blocked efforts to vote Monday and angry colleagues blocked compromise efforts of their leaders to fix a Monday deadline. So, with no agreement yet in sight, senators who had been sleeping on cloakroom benches went back to nap while Morse spoke to an almost empty cham ber. Shortly before turning down. the Monday vote suggestion, the bill's opponents had rejected a Republican proposal to vote to day. Public Enemy of Past Shot to Death in Home (Continued from Page 1) Buchaltcr, racketeer and erst while head of New York's Mur der, Inc., who later was electro cuted at Sing Sing prison. Siegel also was once questioned in the slaying of Harry Green berg, former New York gangster who was slain in Hollywood in 1939.
