Cain Promiies To
Resume Filibuster
On Rent Controls
Washington, June 10 (U.R)
Sen. Harry P. Cain, (R., Wash.),
promised today to keep talking
next week in his filibuster to
kill federal rent control if the
Senate doesn't vote to shelve
the bill.
He then headed for the air
port to fly to Cincinnati. Al
though a little hoarse from yes
terday's filibuster speech of 12
hours and 8 minutes, he decided
to keep his date to speak at a
Young Republican dinner there
in honor of Sen. Robert A. Taft.
(R., O.).
To Vote Monday
Before adjourning in anger at
3:43 a.m. EDT today, the sen
ate agreed to vote at 1 p. m.
EDT Monday on a motion to
send the rent control bill back
to the banking committee. In
a session lasting 16 hours and
43 minutes, administration lead
ers failed to get agreement on
a time to vote on the bill itself.
Cain returned to his office
for three hours this morning and
said he was ready to resume
talking next week if the sen
ate refuses to recommit the
bill. He also said he has been
promised "adequate help" so
that he alone will not have to
keep the filibuster going.
Progress Claimed
"Win or lose, we've made
progress," he said.
He suggested that the demo
cratic leadership's failure to
keep the round-the-clock ses
sion going showed that "some
people must be constrained to
think that all was not going as
intended."
Cain refused to predict the
outcome of Monday's vote but
he said it will be close. Admin
istration spokesmen agred but
they believe they have the votes
to keep the bill alive.
The bill would extend fed
eral rent controls, now due to
expire June 30, for six months
and permit an additional six
month extension if local com
munities petition for it.
