Compromise Plan Seen On Filibuster Showdown Vote Is Expected By Night WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate appeared likely today to defeat a liberal bloc’s anti-filibuster proposal and eventually adopt a compromise plan for shutting off debate. A showdown vote was expected before nightfall on the liberals’ motion that would allow a majority 50 of the 98 senators’, instead of the two-thirds ( 66) now required, to shut off debate. * ' Opponents of the liberal proposal were confident-they could defeat it. In its place, they predicted. the Senate ultimately would accept a ..compromise by Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) to let two-thirds of senators present the voting curb debate. Both Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.) and Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said they believed the Senate finally would accept the Johnson compromise. The liberals, led by Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) were dWping that enough pro-civil rights ’ sentiment had built up during the weekend to sway some wavering senators their way. But they admittedIv'were waging an uphill fight

Two Os Dixie States Facing New Pressure Georgia, Alabama Htmded Setbacks ln_ Integration Battle By AL KUETTNER United Press International Two growing breaks were evident. today in the dike thrown up by tiie deep South to ward off a rising tide of integration pessure. The scenes were Georgia and Alabama, two of the four Dixie states that had been holding the line against school integration. The Georgia legislature convened today facing a three-fold crisis: A federal decree striking down segregation at the college level, another outlawing segregated seating on Atlanta transit vehicles, and a strong possibility that public school integration might be ordered before next fall. Tn Alabama, the Federal Civil Rights Commission continued efforts to gather information on alleged discrimination against Negro voters. Negro leaders in the state have voiced determination to concentrate their fire in coming months on the state’s practice of separating the races in the schools. School Registering Stopped . Atlanta, the board which controls all state-supported schools of higher learning said it would allow no further registrations at any of the 19 units until officials had a chance to study the ruling handed down Saturday by a federal judge. Judge Boyd Sloan decreed that grounds for turning down three Negroes’ applications to an Atlanta branch of the system were discriminatory. A day earlier, Judge Frank Hooper ruled unconstitutional Atlanta’s separate seating ordinance relating to public transportation facilities. There were these other developments: The U.S. Supreme Court was meeting after a holiday recess. One issue was whether to grant a hearing to Mrs. Queen Cohen, a Negro of Savannah, Ga., who attacked a race issue in public housing. Six Negroes sentenced to 30 days in jail for trespassing on a Greensboro, N.C., golf course also sought a high court hearing. —George Bright, accused leader in the dynamiting of an Atlanta Jewish temple, was to go oftrtnal for the second time today a reduced charge. An effort'to ifflPvict him under a law carrying. ttot death penalty ended in a mistrial last month. New Little Rock Order —ln a move that gained impetus because of the Atlanta bombings, New York Sens. Jacob Javits and Kenneth B. Keating, both Republicans, mapped plans to again seek federal legislation dealing with terrorist bombings. —The Little Rock, Ark., School Board was faced with a federal judge’s demand that it reopen Little Rock schools padlocked under state law when faced with integration. —The filibuster, the South’s chief weapon against civil rights legislation, was still the subject of debate in the U.S. Senate. It appeared a liberal bloc’s -.antifilibuster drive would be turned aside and a compromise plan adopted for shutting off debate. —The impasse over mixed schooling continued in Virginia, where the state Supreme Court of Appeals is scheduled to rule Jan. 19 on the constitutionality of laws under which nine public schools have been closed since last fall.
