' Iwlooray Moris Lewis m Plant fw "Wair (DlhesS Removes Block From Path of ournment WASHINGTON. Oct 13 -()- The senate voted tonight to shelve the displaced persons bill for this session. i j The vote was 36 to SO. i Adopting a motion by Senators Cain (R-Wash) and Eastland CD- Miss), who among others had been talking on the bill for three days, the senate sent the hotly-disputed measure back to its judiciary com mittee with instructions that it be returned for action by next Janu ary 25. The bill passed by tne house and a prime feature of President Truman's program, would increase by 134,000 the number of displac ed persons: to be admitted to the U. S. and change the rules. Tonight's ; vote removed one of the stumbling blocks in the way of proposed adjournment of con gress next week, j It marked a bitter defeat for Senator Lucas of Illinois and other administration leaders who had demanded action on this session On revising the present law.

Morse told reporters: "This granting of unanimous consent to a Senator to sit down and conduct a filibuster makes this whole thing a farce."
