Senate Uni approve,
Control Of FiIibusier
By TWo-Ihirds Vote
" ths A,,eeiotsd Pres.

The Senate Rules Committee
voted yesterday against changing It's
rules 30 that q Senate majority vote
could stop q filibuster. but approved
letting q two-thirds vote stop one
ut any time.
To become effective, the commit
tees decision must be approved by
two-thirds of the Senate. And any
Senator who doesn't like the pro-
posed rule change could filibuster
against it.
Senator Knowland, Republican. Of
California proposed to limit debate
when q majority so votes. The COM
mittee vote against 1t was 6-5.
Two Thirds Rule Approved.
Then the committee voted unani-
mously for a rule to limit debate at
any time when tWo-thirds Of the
Senators want to limit 1t. It was
sponsored by Senator Saltonstall
Republican, Of Massachusetts,.
As the Senate's rules now stand
there are parliamentary situations
where q single Senator can prevent
the Senate from taking vote-even
II all others want to ote-simply by
talking endlessly, or "filibustertng'
as 1t Is called.
The rules allow a two-thirds vote
TO shut off debate on a bill, OF
amendment, but not on a motion OF
on such subjects as approval Of the
Senate's journal. '
Filibuster Not on Bill Itself.
Thus, past filibusters against such
measures as anti-poll tax legislation
have technically been debate on ap-
proval of the journal. or something
other than the bill itself.
The vote on Senator Knowland' s
resolution was: For-Wherry, Re-
publican. of Nebraska; Hickenlooper
Republican,, of Iowa; Knowland,
Ives, Republicans, of New York;
Brooks, Republican, Of Illinois.
Against-Jenner, Republican, of In
diana; Bricker, Republican, of Ohio;
Hayden. Democrat, Of Arizona !;
Green, Democrat, Of Rhode Island;
Mcmahon, Democrat, Of Connecti-
cut, and Holland, Democrat, Of

Atmosphere Is Gloomy as Russia Apparently Is
 Sailing on Issue
(By TOM WILLIAMS

PARIS, June 28-R-A gloomy atmosphere pervaded both British and French quarters today after a private conference between Ernest Bevin and Georges Bidault, prior to their second meeting late today with Soviet Russia's V. M. Molo- tov.
 French sources reported the pre- liminary meeting of the British and French Foreign Secretaries, and one informant said:
 The success of the conference is in doubt"
 There were indications that the Russian position at this afternoon's s three-power session might be one of a continued request for more information.
 Because of a news blackout inn posed by British request, official reports were scanty.
 Tass, official Soviet news agency, said the conferences foremost task" was to 'clarify the actual meaning" of the Harvard Univer- sity speech June in which Secre- tary of State George c. Marshall offered United States help in re- building Europe's war wrecked economy.
