US Senator's Filibuster Last 8 Hours, 25 Minutes Washington, Jume 21--(AP) ~--Senator Glen Taylor, a former tent show comedian, today relish- ed one of those parts actors dream about, : He held the stage for eight hours and 25 minutes in the Uni- ted States Senate without once vanishing into the wings, Except for the lines the Demo- cratic Senator from Idaho tossed , to a few other characters, the part was a soliloquy. He wasn't 'filibustering, he said. No, he just wanted the Sen- ate to think things over a while before voting whether to over- ride President Truman's veto of the Taft-Hartly Labor Bill, which imposes certain curbs on labor. Scheduled curtain time for Taylor was 6:50 p.m, yesterday. But he was still going strong when the Senate Clark tore an- other page off the calendar at midnight. He talked into the morning _ hours. Now and then he seemed to lose his audience, but he held the floor. He chatted easily to his sleepy colleagues about Sunday fishing trips, wall street plots against the west, and the unfair distribution of children among married cou- ples. The performance hardly had been equalled since the days of Huey Long's fabulous filibusters Some of Taylor's observations: The reason the Republican want to get quick action on the labor bill is "that it stinks to high heaven and they're anxious to get rid of it so they won't have to smell it." Taylor's father, a preacher, baptized thousands of persons- - "he baptized me twice, and I could probably stand another baptizing now, It wouldn't hurt me." Senator Claude Pepper (Dem. Fla.) gave Taylor's voice a few minutes rest by phrasing an ela- borate question, Taylor told him: "You are not fenly the best orator in the Sen- ate, but the best question-asker. I never have to even listen to the Senator when he starts asking me a question, because I know he will never go off the beam and cause me to lose the floor. "By the way, what was your question?" Two Engines Damaged At C.N. 'Depot What might well have been a more serious accident occurred in the yards at the Canadian National Railways station here at about 6 p. m. yesterday when twa freight en- gines sideswiped with the result that both were damaged and one wag derailed. Members of both crews were uninjured. The accident occurred when the engine of a westbound way freight, ba into a siding, failed to clear the main line and was struck a glancing blow by the engine of a heavy freight train, which was pro- ceeding west on the main line. The mishap occurred at the west end of the yards. Cylinder Torn Off The engine of the way freight, which wag standing over the Sim- coe Street subway, was derailed. Its left cylinder block was torn off and tossed about 30 feet to the west while the right cylinder of the other engine was so badly damaged the locomotive had to be uncoupled from the train and another engine secured to take the train into To- freight was brought to a stop with- in about 10 car-lengths. The engine of the way freight was enveloped in clouds of escaping steam sige bl no pve Fgh | of-way. They had the way freight back on the tracks by 4 a. m. today.

Ore), one of the group determined to delay a vote until the country has time to react to the president's radio address of last night supporte ing his veto message, still held thé floor as the senate approached its 24th hour of continuous session. There was no opportunity for the republican leaders, dead set in their hopes of overriding the veto and make the bill law, to dicker for a vote Monday until Morse quib talking. bd There was a possible chance that once Morse gave up the senate might agree finally on White's pros posal to vote Monday and go home for much-needed week-end rest.

METERS BRING ONLY 3 SLUGS DURING WEEK Totals for the first week of parke ing meter operation were not availe able today but some proof of Oshe awa's innate honesty was.

Mr. Hall said the meters had been operating satisfactorily with on® exception: Some people failed to give the handle a complete turn 'after inserting .a coin. When a second coin is inserted following this, the machine invariably jams, he explained. "Just before beople put 8 coin in," he suggested, "they should give the handle an extra turn to make sur that the meter won't jam." About those slugs? "Maybe they stopped putting them in when they found out that the things won't work," he confided. P.U.C.
