Secret Poll Indicates Gag R Might Be Invoked to Forestall Filibuster Asainst Civil Rial WASHINGTON, May 7 -()- A secret poll by southern democrats indicated today the administration may get within striking distance of the 64 votes it needs to halt a senate filibuster against a civil rights bill. In their unofficial nose count some Dixie senators forecast 59 "yes" and 32 "no" votes with five absentees in the first effort to limit debate on a motion by Sena tor Lucas of Illinois, the majority leader, to bring up a fair employ ment, practices commission (FEPC) bill. Lucas motion Is up for argu ment in the senate tomorrow with southerners ready to start a fili bustering . round of talking in which they claim to have 23 mem bers enlisted to participate. 1 Lucas already has said he won't try this week to kill off the fili buster. Taft Serves Notice i Senator Taft (R-Ohio) has ser ved notice he. will break into the debate Thursday with a motion no take up a resolution disapproving President Truman's reorganization plan of transferring to the chair man of the national labor relations board much of the authority now held by its Independent general counsel. That argument will take most of a day. : Next week Lucas said he will test out senate sentiment on wind ing up debate on his motion to take up the FEPC bill. It would establish an FEPC with powers to enforce its orders against Job discrimination on the grounds of race, color or creed. The house previously passed a bill to set up an FEPC with no such punitive powers. Cloture Circulated I Republicans already have start ed circulation of a cloture or debate limiting petition. Six teen signatures on such a petition forces a senate vote two days later on the question of limiting each senator to an hour's talk. I This rule - applies to motions such as Lucas made, on which fili busters couldn't be halted in the past But it requires 64 affirma tive votes before it can be invoked. I 'That means that anytime fili busters can muster 33 of the 96 senate votes or enough votes combined with absentees to total 33 they can avoid any vote gag. Absentees thus count, in effect, as "no" votes.
