The plan was agreed to last week end by Democratic and Republican leaders with some concessions being made to Southerners in an effort to head off delaying tactics. 5 Sironger Bid , But Southern Democrats t are making a stronger bid j than expected to water down j the proposal which would au- Z thorize federal courts to ap- Z' point referees to guarantee I. Negro voting rights. Z There were indications that the Southerners would pick I up some GOP support for a proposed amendment to limit the plan to elections for fed- eral officials. It now would Z- apply also to state and mu 4 nicipal elections. The Southerners had a series of other amendments in reserve. Grumblings in Camp i There were grumblings in the GOP camp about floor maneuvers that resulted in putting a Democratic, instead 1 of a Republican, name on the 2 pending administration pro- posal.

Butler hung firmly onto his job today despite a demand that he quit if he was the "Mr. X" who predicted who would win the party's presidential nomination. Butler refused to confirm or deny Wednesday that he was the high Democratic source who forecast the nomi nation of Sen. John F. Ken nedy (D-Mass.) on an early ballot at the Los Angeles con vention. But he rejected Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey's de mand that he quit if he was the source. Would Lessen Influence In Washington, Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.) said the undenied prediction would "tremendously lessen" But ler's influence in the party. Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson (Tex.) stayed aloof from the squabble. ' Butler, in New York to ad dress the National Democratic Club, said he was distressed by Humphrey's attack because he had great admiration for the senator.
