Robert Fildes, business rep resentative of Teamsters lo cal 958, said a special meet ing of the union will be held at 9:30 a.m. today to decide what to do. WE'RE NOT against cour tesy cars," Fildes it's going too far when they line up at hotels, railroad stations and airports and grab fares right under our noses." Fildes said the special meeting was called after rank-and-file cab drivers pre sented union officers with a petition for such a session. "Unless someone solves this situation," he warned, "we'll have to pull the cabs off the street" Fildes confirmed industry reports that "business is way off despite the presence of thousands of out-of-town vis itors. HE SAID salesmen, who normally constitute the bulk of Minneapolis taxi riders, generally stay out of the city during conventions because they cannot get hotel rooms.

"We depend upon conven tion visitors to make a living," he added. "And they're picking up free rides instead." The 700 Shrine courtesy cars, each sporting an invitation to "hop in, Noble," all are privately-owned and are driven by Shriners anxious to extend hospitality to their visitors. The number of courtesy cars is almost three times the I total of the 248 cabs licensed by the city. Colorful Shrine Rite Honors War Victims 3 Minnesotans, Two Others Killed in Crash Special to the Minneapolis Tribuna By JACQUELINE LARKIM Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Firm on Rights Bill Republicans Will Seek to Outlast Southern Filibuster By RICHARD WILSON Chief of the Minneapolis Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Repub lican strategy on the civil rights bill is firmly against substantial compromise. The leadership has decided to keep the senate in session until a bill on the present lines is passed with the objective of making it possible for tens of thousands of new Negro voters to cast their ballots in the 1958 elections, Republican strategists doubt they pan muster the 64 votes necessary to close off debate in the senate so that the bill could be acted on promptly.

THE PROSPECT, therefore, is that the senate will remain in session for weeks, and it is not entirely out of the question that it will continue into the winter. However, the physical ca pacity of the 17 or 18 Demo crats who would engage in a filibuster is the limiting fac tor. When, and if, continuous sessions are ordered the strain on these men will be very great But the Republican lead ers are determined to break the filibuster, if it develops, by the only means available to them, superior collective physical endurance. OVER the week-end, Republican leaders decided it wod be a mistake to agree to a watered-down bill. Vice President Nixon has played an important part in this decision.

In Republican conferences he pointed out that the Rev, Martin Luther King, Negro anti-segregationist leader emphasized that Negroe need power at the polls now to elect members of schoo boards and county commis sions if school integregation ever is to be made effective in the south. Any substantial compro mise now, Nixon told his associates, would arouse the antagonism of many Negroes who are convinced that the present moment is the time to push through civil rights legislation. SOME NEW formula on part III of the bill is expected to be developed. But senate Republican leader William F.
