down should come on a bill to ban job discrimination because of race, creeLor color.

Lucas, who opposed the rule, doesnt think it will be effective against filibusters-, the traditional southern weapon against civil rights legislation and wants the test to come on the FEPC bill to prove it Note Quite As Hot Wherry thinks the rule will work, but wants the test on the anti-lyneh- bill which, while ''bp-posed by Dixie lawmakers, it not quite as hot an issue, as FEPC. 1 "All the administration and its lieutenants in congress have done 7 on civil rights legislation is Just to talk about it, promise, promise and promise, Wherry told the news conference.
