A motion to refer the dispute to the Senate Rules Committee for study was offered late Tuesday by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana with the backing ot Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois. But liberals of both parties rose :..!., J M-,ri.U'. .nmnt to obtain agreement to vote on the' motion Friday was blocked. Ever since the Senate met Jan. 3 it has been caught up in a dis pute over whether to change its rules to make it easier to break a filibuster. It now takes a two thirds majority of senators voting. Mansfield, in moving to refer the issue to the Rules Committee for hearings, said he wanted to avoid a long, disruptive fight at the start of the session that would delay action on President-elect John F. Kennedy's legislative pro gram. As chairman of the Rules Com mittee, he pledged to leave no stone unturned to bring back for action later in the session a meas ure to place a tighter curb on fil ibusters. Leaders of a bipartisan group of 23 senators backing a proposal to permit debates to be limited by the vote of 51 senators, or a ma jority of the 100 members, pro tested this course. Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-1II, said that if Mansfield's motion were adopted, it would be black day for the Senate, the country, and particularly the lead' ership of the Democratic party.' Sens. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., and Clifford P. Case, R-N.J joined Douglas in opposing the motion. Thcv areued that anv chance' in Committee was likely to run into a Southern filibuster that could not be shut off except by a two-thirds majority. . Their fight for action now Is based on the contention that at the outset of a new Congress a fili buster against a change in Senate rules can be halted by majority vole. This position, supported in ad. vlsory opinions by Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the Senate's presiding officer, is sharply chal lenged by Southern foes of any change in the filibuster" rule. " Mansfield said he favors modi fying the present rule to permit filibusters to be halted by three fifths of tlte senators voting a proposal offered by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D-N.M.
