“VOICE OF AMERICA" 3ILL GETS NOWHERE FILIBUSTER MAX BE
After two days of rough going in the House, and despite another eleventh hour plea by Secretary of State Marshall, the Mundt bill to continue the irVoice of America" broadcasts and educational exchange activities, further consideration was postponed until tomorrow (Thursday, June 12). Although they are not supposed to have "filibusters" in the House, the concerted action against America* s "Voice" was in the opinion of one legislator, "A filibust¬ er if lever saw one".
As the House bogged down in its second attempt to pass the bill, Secretary of State George C. Marshall appealed to the Senate Appropriations Committee to restore $55,267,388 in House-slashed State Department funds.
He warned that the Communist coup in Hungary and other European developments "emphasize the Importance of not whittling down the State Department,
Marshall termed "essential" the House-rejected $34,201,200 for information and cultural activities. Even while he spoke the Mundt bill, designed to bridge the gap by specifically authorizing the program, ran into its second House snag in five days.
Three quorum calls, while the House was considering the unrelated Reorganization Plan No. 2, delayed calling up the bill until late afternoon. A motion to strike out the enacting clause, rejected at a similar session last Friday, was reoffered by Repre¬ sentative Noah Mason (R), of Illinois. The motion, aimed at killing the bill, was rejected, 119 to 92. But when the House quit at 5 :35 P.M. the bill was no nearer passage.
Representative Frances ?. Bolton (R), of Ohio, bluntly charged quorum calls and other delaying moves were designed to hold up House passage "until it* 8 too late for the Senate to act."
Leading the opposition fight were Representatives Mason, Clare E. Hoffman (R), of Michigan, William C. Cole (R), of Missouri; Hubert S, Ellis (R), of West Virginia, George H. Bender (R), of Ohio; and Harold Knutson (R), of Minnesota.
A Gallup Poll found sentiment about 50 50 on U. S, broad¬ casts to Russia.
