Anticipating Deadlock on Reservation, Plan Provides toLay Aside Pact if not Passed
DEBATE WOULD BE
 LIMITED TO 15 MIN.

Washington, Nov. 3.--A final vote treaty is proposed in a unanimous consent agreement drawn up for pre- sentation to the senate today by the administration leaders.
 Apparently contemplating the possibility of a deadlock over reserva- tions, the agreement provides that after this week, the treaty, if not ratified, can be laid aside.
 Counter to Lodges Proposals
 Under the plan put forward as counter to Republican Leader Lod ge s proposal for final vote November 12, all amendments would be disposed of today, the reservations of the foreign relations committee would be. passed on tomorrow and Wednesday, the committees resolution of ratification voted on Thursday. Friday and sat urday would be reserved for con- sideration for alternate ratification resolutions should that by the com mittee fail.
 The fact that the agreement pro- vided for a possible deadlock on the treaty was taken as another indication that the administrator forces would vote against ratification by the reservations committee and then would present a ratification resOlu- ton containing only qualification of an interpretative character
 Would Limit Debate.
 Debate on all subjects relating to the treaty would be limited under tho plan to , minute speeches, and the senate would meet an hour earlier than usual each day.
