Boston, Mass, Jan. 23.-The re-
ferral of the proposed changes in
the Senate Filibuster rule to the

it that the 87th Congress does not

This was the judgment of
NAACP Secretary Roy Wilkins

Leader Mike Mansfield and %
other Democratic and Republican
Senators prior to the vote.
"By burying (this issue) in the

January, 1868, the new President
of the Senate, Vice President Lyn-
don B. Johnson, may not rule that
the Senate can change rules by
majority vote at the opening of the
session.
Mr.. johnson has held in the past
that the Senate is a continuing
body and is governed by the same
rules from session to session. If
he so rules in 1868, and if the
Senate does not vote to OVERRIDE
him, any change in the filibuster
rule would be subject to the exist
ing two-thirds requirement.
Thus a filibuster could be con-
Quoted in 1868 against the motion
to change the filibuster rule. If
