Anti-flitaster attempt iais WASHINGTON (UPI) -Liberals lost their fight Wednesday for the right to amend the Senate's antifilibuster role by a majority vote at the start of a new session of Congress. The vote was 61-37. Their defeat came, when the Senate, at the invitation of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, upheld a point of order by Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen challenging the liberals' move as "unconstitutional." As the presiding officer, Humphrey cleared the way for the showdown by holding that the Senate itself had to decide the "constitutional question" of whether its rules could be rewritten by majority vote.

The present Senate clotiire-- gag--rule requires atwo-thirds majority of those present and voting to shut off debate. Humphrey's stand came as no surprise. He emphasized that he was following Senate precedents. But he advised the Senate in advance that if it overrode the point of order raised by Dirksen, the effect would be to cut off debate by a simple majority vote. The showdown came when Sen.

George S. McGovern, D- S.D., moved to table Dirksen's point of order. PERU ADMISSIONS Raymond Woodhouse, RR 1, Peru; Miss Elizabeth Myers, 25 N. Grant Master Leonard Day, 371 W. Fifth Mrs.

Eastern to take quotations on janitorial supplies The Eastern Howard School Corporation School Board voted last night to accept quotations on janitorial supplies and equipment for the 1967 school year rather than to seek bids. Quotations were accepted after the board gave close study to the economical factor of the quotations submitted. It was decided that bids would not lower the prices of the desired supplies and equipment.

In other action, the board heard a general discussion led by Superintendent Bernard DeWitt on proposed changes and additions to staff and com- plete the new Eastern High School. The board was acquaint- ed with projects and problems expected to arise in the near future. After concluding the regular meeting the board met in a closed executive session. 11 lose belongings Two families, totaling 11 people, lost all of their personal belongings and a place to live early yesterday morning when they were routed from their tenant home near Greentown by fire. The fire, which completely destroyed the structure belonging to Delia Golding of Greentown, was reportedly started by a heater being used to thaw water pipes.

Frank Anchando's family, and his son's family, watched from a nearby home as volunteers of the Greentown Fire Department fought the blaze in sub-zero temperatures. The family has temporarily moved their residence to a trailer in Converse. Damage was estimated to run near $7,000 to the completely destroyed house. (Morning Times photo).
