jGets Broken Nose
In Charity Fun
I
NEW YORK, UP)—Dancer-fun
j nyman Ray Bolger nursed a brok
i en nose yesterday in the name of
! charity.
Welterweight boxing champion
Sugar Ray Robinson clouted the
comedian—purely in fun — Wed
nesday night while Bolger was
refereeing an exhibition bout at
a bock beer festival here. The fes
j tival was held for the benefit of
! the Red Cross.
! The punch on the nose came af
j ter Bolger hopped into the ring in
the second round to relieve boxer
Gus Lesnevich as referee for a
fight between Robinson and Sid
ney Miller. The comedian started
j clowning. Robinson caught the
i spirit of the thing and took a
swing at Bolger’s hat. The glove
missed the hat—but not the nose.
The comedian said the busted
nose wouldn’t interfere with his
appearance in the hit musical
: “Where’s Charley?”.

i Filibuster Safe , .
For Time Being
i ___
! WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senate
majority leader Lucas (D.-Ill.) de
cided Saturday to push ahead—for
the time being—with the attempt
to outlaw filibustering by tighten
ing Senate rules.
Despite a resounding defeat last
night by a combine of Southern
Democrats and Republicans, Lu
cas said “we are going ahead and
probably will hold another night
session tonight.”
Lucas talked to reporters after a
closed-door strategy session of
northern and other Democrats
backing President Truman’s civil
rights program.
At the same time Senator Rus
sell (D.-Ga.), floor general for
southern Democrats who won the
first test in the anti-filibuster
fight, told reporters his group is
open to “any reasonable compro
mise.”
! Previously administration lead
ers had indicated they felt the
civil rights program may have
been as good as defeated after los
ing Friday night’s battle to gag
filibusters.
f Two showdown votes, both 46
jlo 41 in favor of the Dixie law
; makers, defeated administration
| efforts to gag debate with a rules
' change and left Senate leaders*
[with a tough decision:
I Should they continue the fight
1 and try to outlast the Southerners
in the current filibuster now in its
twelfth day, or should they con
cede defeat and get on with im
portant bills like rent control and
labor law changes now piling up?
Whatever their decision Presi
dent Truman’s civil rights pro
gram seemed doomed. Democratic
leader Lucas (D.-Ill.) said that “in
all probability” anti-poll taxA
anti-lynch and other such laws
won’t even be brought up for a
, vote this session.
Friday night’s defeat knocked
out of the administration’s hands
its main weapon against the Dixie
talkathon. By a 46 to 41 vote the
Senate overruled vice president
Barkley’s decision that two-thirds
of the members could gag debate
on a motion if they wanted.
