GOP On Spot Over . Filibuster Issue Fight Promised At Congress Opening . WASHINGTON, UP — A promised fight over the filibuster issue on the opening day of congress put senate Republican leaders on the spot politically today. They faced'a choice between of*<e.nding large block of Negro voters in key northern states*, or alienating the southern Democratic senators -whose support they may need |o put through the GOP legislative program. The dilemma arose when Sen. Herbert H. Lehmdn, D-N. Y„ announced late Tuesday that an attempt will <b& ma|de at the first session of the new! congress Saturday to change” tne senate rules tp make it easier to cut off filibusters. j The filibuster issue carries a high political voltage because southern Democrats traditionally use talkathons to kill civil rights legislation. Thus any move to curb “unlimited debate” is regarded by all hands as a preliminary skirmish in the fight over anti-dis-ciimihation laws. •Sen. Robert A. Taft and other senate Republican leaders 7 discussed the problem with Presi-dent-elect Eisenhower in New York Tuesday, and Taft said Eisenhower had adopted-, a hands-off attitude. Although Taft did not say immediately what stand the senate, GOP leadership w’ill take, it seemed highly unlikely that t thel Republicans would support Lehman’s proposal at the cost of affronting the southern Democrats who> are being counted upon 10 bolster the thin GOP majority in the senate. ■ ‘ ... V--. ' ■ Republican leaders are well aware that unless the -Lehman liipve is quickly the may start filibustering against the anti-filibuster ptofiosal. \,. •j'i - That would delay organisation rtf the senate. It could even ujpset plans for the house- and senaite tjo meet in joint session next Tuesday to count the electoral vot[es And discover officially that Dwight t>. Eisenhower has been elected President. 1. 4 \ i The same area in the United States that grew one bushel of potjatoee 25 years ago how grows two Rush?lk
