The cold air was expected to
spread over the Ohio Valley south

Allbrite previously testified she

Senator Urges
Biparty Attack
On Filibusters
WASHINGTON' Sen. Thye
(R-Myinl proposed today that Re
publican and Democratic Senate
leaders "get behind an all-out ef
fort" to change the Senate rule
which permits filibusters.
Thye, who said he wants pas
sage of civil rights legislation,
said in an interview he anticipates
failure for a move by 10 senators
to get new debate-limiting rules
adopted at the opening of Con
gress next month.
"The Senate is a continuing
body and its rules stand from
year to year," Thye said. "The
only way to get the present de
bate limitation rule changed is
for leaders of both parties to get
behind an all-out effort to change
it in the regular way."
Thye indicated he had in mind
a possible bipartisan effort to
wear out a filibuster by Southern
Democrats against any effort to
adopt a talk-curbing rule.
Under present rules, debate
may be limited only by the af
firmative vote of 64 of the 96
senators.
