WASHINGTON, March 12—(UP)—Senate Administration
; Democrats refused today to call off their arili-filibusier fight,
but gave no indication how long it will continue.
Despite major setbacks last night, Senate Democratic Loader
| Scot! W. Lucas fold reporters, "we're going right ahead."
He made the statement as he emerged from a meeting of Ad-
ministration Democrats-a. few minutes before the Senate-conven-
ed a 1 noon for a Saturday session.
Asked how long the fight will continue. Lucas replied:
"YouTl have to wail and see."
He announced that the Senate will be kept in session tonight
; as it has been daily since Tdesday. He refused to reveal further
details of the Administration plaits.
Other Senate administration spokesmen, however, have
been resigned to dropping the anti-filibuster fight to take up urg-
ent legislation, notably extension of rent control.
Republicans were prodding the Democratic leaders to con-
tinue the yampaign although a majority of the GOP Senators
voted against the administration in the first big anti-filibusler
test last night. And some Democrats were unwilling to auit yet.
If the Administration decides to continue the present debate.
Southerners are confident they will be able to filibuster indefi-
nitely.
