Majority Leader Mike Mans field, D- told reporters the debate may go on two or three more days. If so, Vice President-elect pi ro Agnew may find himsel called on for rulings in the intri cate parliamentary battle. He becomes the Senate's presiding officer Monday. The Senate yesterday refused to sustain a precedent-shatter ing ruling by Vice President Hu bert H. Humphrey that a simple majority could shut off debate in the session-opening rules fight.

The 53-45 vote to override Humphrey's ruling appeared to be a fatal blow to a bipartisan drive for a new cloture rule tha would permit a three-fifths ma jority of senators voting to close out debates. The rule now re quires a two-thirds vote. The vote on Humphrey's rul ing came after the Senate voted 51-47 to end debate on a motion to take up the three-fifths pro posal. Although this was 15 short of two-thirds, Humphrey ruled that a simple majority could cut off debate on a proposed rules change at the star of a new Congress.
