WASHINGTON (P) - The man expected to lead Senate Democrats next year has issued a call to the party's Liberals to put aside the battle against the Senate filibuster rule and use all energy to fight for the legislative program of President-elect John F. Kennedy.
The call from Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana Sunday drew a mixed response.
Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois, a leader of the Liberals, said a change in the rule is needed or the Senate wouldn't pass an effective Civil Rights Bill.
On the other hand, Sen. Clinton Anderson of New Mexico, another leader of the Liberals, said he was more interested in passing a Kennedy program than in changing the filibuster rule.
The final answer of the Liberal Democrats probably will come Dec. 27 when they have tentatively scheduled a meeting to decide what course to take.
