No. 17th at Grape
The wordiest filibuster since Huey
Long’s time threatened or Capitol
Hill today as the Senate plunged
into a knock-down, drag-out fight
on the dynamite-packed FEPC bill.
The advance billing had Capitol
Hill harking back to the ‘30s when
Long, as senator from Louisiana,
went on a filibuster marathon.
A solid phalanx of southern sen-
ators, all pledged to talk plenty,
lined up against the Fair Employ
ment Practice bill which would
establish a permanent committee
to eliminate racial and religious
discrimination in industrial and
governmental employment.
"I'm going to talk against it as
long as God gives me breath,”
Senator Ellender D-La) told a re-
porter.

amendments to the FEPC legisla-
tion between them. Eastland said
he would talk "two years” if nec-
essary.
Senator Bilbo (D-Miss), who
knows a filibuster when he is
in one, informed newsmen he
intended to speak twice—“30
days at a time”—against the
measure which has been en-
dorsed repeatedly by Presi-
dent Truman.
The unexpected motion which
called up the controversial bill be-
fore the senate yesterday took its
southern opponents completely by
surprise. A hurried strategy ses-
sion was ordered, but they made
no bones they would use every-
thing in the rule book in their ef-
fort to block a vote.
Backers of the measure were
fully aware of the opposition’s- cali-
bre and ready to take counter-
measures of their own.
Their most obvious weapon was
a resort to cloture, a seldom-in-
voked parliamentary device to lim-
it debate. Its adoption requires
a two-thirds vote.
A prolonged filibuster on FEPC
would have the effect of stalling
senate action on all other pending
legislation.

Burglary Cases
Four bonds totaling $6,000 were
set for Hollis W. Scott, charged in
four complaints here with burglary,
in Justice of the Peace Bill Ward’s
court yesterday after County At-
torney Theo Ash had questioned
him concerning identification of
some of the articles he is alleged
to have stolen.
State highway patrolmen return-
ed Scott to the sheriff of Tom
Green county where eight ...
plants have been lodged against
him for burglary. Two other com
plaints for burglary have been filed
against him in Ballinger. Additional
burglary, charges are expected to
be filed against him at Brady, Pat
rolmen Charles Rice and L. D.
Criswell of the San Angelo diviison
said.
Loot found in Scott’s home in
San Angelo is expected to total
between $6,000 and $10,000 in
value, San Angelo officers estimat-
ed.
Scott’s arrest on the burglary
charges was an outgrowth of his
failure to display a tail light on
his automobile recently. Patrolmen
Rice and Criswell picked him up,
but released him when he con-
trived a red tail light by painting
over the lens of a flashlight with
rouge and attaching it to the rear
of the car. Rice, however, took the
number of an engine block in the
car, and a check proved it to be
stolen.

Residential Landmark Coming
Down to Provide New Housing
One of the older residential land-
marks of Abilene is being remov-
ed. The former F. C. Digby-Rob
erts home on North Second and
Hickory, erected about 42 years
ago, is being wrecked and part of
it will be reassembled in an apart-
ment house to be located at 841
com. Palm.
The house has an interesting his-
tory, and the names associated
with it and its location bore a vital
part in the establishment of Abi-
lene itself.
In the Blind Asylum survey No.
36, the lot figured in the original
town lot sale on March 15, 1881
When Digby-Roberts, former may-
or, secured it, it had previously
been owned by Torn Anderson,
merchant, who had erected a
small house on it. This house was
moved off when the lot was sold
to Digby-Roberts,
Digby-Roberts came to Abilene
in 1885 at the age of. 17. In 1891
he and Fannie Torrey, daughter of
an Abilene grocerman since 1883,
were married. They lived at North
Fourth and Mulberry, for several
years before erecting the house on
the apartment house on' Palm. J.
F. Chambers is the contractor.
W. S. Wagley, local realtor, re-
ported he had purchased the lot.
He added that he has no definite
plane for its use. It adjoins the
Masonic building.
North Second.
Built about 1904, while Digby-
Roberts was completing his second
term as mayor, the house was the
family home until the death of his
wife, on May 15, 1944. Digby-Rob-
erts recently moved to Fort Worth
to live with his only son, Freder-
ick.
Present owner of the structure
is Elbert Lassater, who is building 1

The marines landed, got the sit-

Ever since the opening of the
Abilene Marine Recruiting sub-sta-
tion, representatives have been
visiting the Sweetwater post office,
setting up temporary headquarters
there for recruiting.
Sam Cress, Sweetwater postmas-
ter, must have been impressed by
the offers made by the recruiters,
and got his son, Ronald D. Cress, to
thinking about becoming a leather-
neck. At any rate, Ronald went to
Dallas Thursday for his final en-
listment examination and is to be
sent on to San Diego for recruit
training.
