The increases amounted to about 1 per cent of the salary for early retirement and about 3.9 per cent for cost of living. Cc'ey said he was entitled to almost $1,000 extra a year by resigning Dec.

Majority leader Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill.) opposed any change in the rule requiring a two-thirds majority of senators voting to stop debate.

He said the Senate is the only legislative body left in the world that has "a degree of flexibility that protects minorities and small states." In the first business since Tuesday's session-opening formalities, Senator George Mc-Govern introducted for himself and Senator Thurston B. Morton an amendment to the rules to permit a three-fifths majority to cut off a filibuster. Senator Thomas H.
